"Visit AUSTRIA.... ..." Europe Local Custom Tip by Krystynn

Visit AUSTRIA....

This is the land where the Hapsburg empire once reigned proudly (er... through careful
maneuver and marriage...). Did you know that the Empire was once the most powerful force
in Europe until the 19th century? Yes, this is a country filled with magical forests and
sun-soaked vineyards.... and picturesque villages... and snow-heaped mountains.... and
green pastures where the Von Trapp family once sang to a worldwide audience... 'The hills
are alive with the Sound of the Music.....'! :-)

Sounds familiar? No??? Sigh... Are you serious?! Anyway, welcome to Austria and to
INNSBRUCK, my friends.

For culture-vultures, you'd certainly love Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna (the capital city).
For Austria is THE place where great maestros like - Mozart, Hadyn and Schubert
composed their thoughts and penned their emotions into everlasting classical melodies.
Incidentally, these men are world-famous Austrian composers (now deceased). It is also
here that the world-famous Vienna Boys' Choir and the Waltz were invented... or should I
say, born? Hm....
