We started our trip with two days in Vienna. After that, we rented a car for two weeks of travel across the Country. We returned to Vienna after for a final 2 days.

We found the country to be extremely safe, at times even too quiet, as people seemed to dissapear to quickly in the evenings. I recommand that you travel by car in this country as it`s the way you`ll see the most. However, you`ll need not to be afraid to drive in tiny mountain roads and learning a few words in German for the road signs may be helpful.

We particularly enjoyed the following attractions. Some are off the tourist track and are certainly worth of interest: Vienna, Burgenland region (Rust esp.), City of Graz, The Grossglockner road (a must), The Vorarlberg region, Salzburg, the Salzkammergut region (particularly Hallstaatt!) and Melk on the Danube.
