Summer Holidays in Austria. Now for real. #realAustria  

Stunning mountains, picturesque lakes and river valleys, impressive waterfalls, magnificent architecture, and delicious food and drinks, think Wiener Schnitzel, a glass of Grüner Veltliner and apricot schnapps. Austria has many unique facets.  

But what is the country really like? What is it that makes it so unique and authentic? Where and how can visitors experience the real Austria at its best in summer? There are as many answers as potential holiday options. And yet: What makes Austria stand out is its mix of small and large natural wonders, its lively culture, witty stories, excellent cuisine, and hospitality.   

Experience the many sides of Austria in real life while hiking, cycling, swimming, or diving, when taking a stroll through the city or even on public transport. In many regions, guest cards include train, bus, and even cable care journeys. Looking for a bit of adventure? Try rafting, canyoning, climbing or paragliding. Those interested in the arts can choose from a wide range of options, including music and theatre festivals, traditional events, and exhibitions in numerous museums.      

Wherever your summer holiday might take you, each Austrian region will enchant you with its unique vibe. 

Please make sure to check the COVID-19 rules before you leave.
