Travel
Austria is a fantastic place for teachers to travel
within and from. To quote the Lonely Planet
Guide: “Vienna’s jewel-box palaces and Mozart
melodies, sparkling Alps and problems like Maria
naturally still have their place in Austria’s heart. “
But venture further for experiences that defy
expectations: from slinging on a backpack,
to stride through the Tennengebirge’s lunar
landscape, to bathing in Salzkammergut’s tingly
lakes. Visit historic spa towns like Bad Ischl or
discover cities such as Linz, where a newfound
street credibility is adding a twist to Austria’s
tale.
Vienna’s bombastic Habsburg palaces and
Salzburg’s baroque splendour are worthy,
but dig deeper and you’ll unearth Stone Age
settlements, Roman archaeological sites at
Carnuntum and medieval festivals.
“ In the country where Mozart
composed and Strauss taught the
world to twirl, you won’t need to
search hard for culture – it waltzes
right up to you.”
So cast aside the well-thumbed picture-book, as
the real story is even more enchanting… Austria
flaunts its heritage in exuberant fashion.
