Austria invites you to be active and enjoy life to the full all year round. Whether in the mountains, by the water, in gentle landscapes or in towns and cities large and small. In spring and summer, green meadows, clear mountain lakes and fragrant alpine pastures await. In autumn, wine regions, forests and cities glow in golden light, while winter enchants with snow-covered lanes, atmospheric Christmas markets and the special charm of alpine mountain worlds.

In state capitals such as Innsbruck, Salzburg and Klagenfurt, Austria’s cultural diversity reveals itself in all its richness. Centuries-old traditions meet modern architecture, lively festivals and an open-minded way of life. Museums, theatres and concerts come together with cosy cafés, innovative cuisine and warm hospitality to create unforgettable experiences. In smaller towns such as Kufstein too, guests immediately step into the typically Austrian way of life. Whether on a hike, at a concert, while skiing or strolling through historic lanes, Austria brings movement, culture and joie de vivre together in a very special mix, 365 days a year.
