Caravan sites in Austria

Schonbrunn, Vienna, Austria

Snow capped mountains, expansive lakes, green valleys and lush forests - Austria's scenery really is a feast for the eyes. This country lies, landlocked, amongst an array of European countries. Germany and the Czech Republic lie to the north, Slovakia and Hungary are to the east, Slovenia and Italy are the southern neighbours and Switzerland and Liechtenstein are to the west. The varied landscapes include skiing and snowboarding venues, and those who love outdoor pursuits will definitely be at home here.

The capital, Vienna, is famed for music, theatre and fine arts. The imperial treasury or Schatzkammer, held at a museum in the Hofburg Palace, is well worth a visit. There are an abundance of palaces, such as the Baroque Belvedere Palace, in Vienna so history fans will love the city. Other cities include stunning Innsbruck, set amongst mountains, which is home to the Alpine Zoo where you can see more than 2000 animals. And after all that activity, the perfect way to end the day is with some hearty cuisine and local beer.
