About Austria
Austria is a country in Western Europe located next to Germany, though it borders many other small and large European countries. It is a popular destination with tourists from the rest of Europe, especially the beautiful city of Vienna complete with its attractive architecture and churches, although it is also a hit during the winter season with those wanting to participate in some Alpine skiing.
The climate is mild and pleasant for much of the year, making it a fantastic place to visit for anyone interested in culture, art and history. Lake Constance is shared with Switzerland and Germany, and provides a much-appreciated stretch of water and makeshift lakeside beach to this landlocked country.
