A land-locked country in central Europe, Austria is characterized by its mountainous, alpine terrain; only 32% of the country is below 500 meters and the highest point is 3,798 meters above sea level. This makes the country perfect for active, sports related holidays like skiing, trekking, mountain biking or boating on the many lakes and rivers. The capital of Austria is Vienna, architecturally a very imposing city, with a raft of museums and theaters. Culturally Austria’s main contribution has been music with a number of composers native to the country; the most famous is probably Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
