Visit Austria for unforgettable experiences in unforgettable places. Austria is immensely diverse, with a culture rich in variety. See vast spaces of unrestricted nature alongside pulsating cities, historic villages and splendid cultivated landscapes. Dotted around the countryside are historic fortresses, castles and monasteries. Nowadays a monastery terrace has sometimes been turned into a lounge with a DJ, a lake into a natural stage setting for opera and the spaces between museums in Vienna into an outdoor living room complete with comfy furniture to chill on. This is the Land of Music, and that doesn’t just mean Mozart, Strauss and Beethoven. A huge number of different music festivals throughout the country spread their reach and their musical tastes into far reaching genres. The legendary Austrian easy living says it all and is reflected in our relaxed, laid-back hostels here too.

Few Salzburgers would publicly admit it, but The Sound of Music, Hollywood's interpretation of the trials and joys of the local Trapp family, has become their city's most eminent emissary when it comes to international promotion. The year after the movie's release, international tourism to Salzburg jumped 20%, and, soon after, The Sound of Music was a Salzburg attraction.
