Europe<br />
Owen’s Austria All Inclusive<br />
Think of Austria and it’s a tussle for the iconic image that will pop into your head first: Julie Andrews<br />
spinning on a mountaintop, Vienna’s imperial dazzle, the snowy peaks of the Alps... This former heart of<br />
the Austro-Hungarian Empire sits at the base of the Alps and the crossroads of Central Europe – and if the<br />
ambience here is more nostalgia than innovation, and more poise than pizzazz, then it’s easy to understand<br />
why. European high culture was dominated by Austria for centuries during the reign of the Hapsburg dynasty.<br />
This is the land of Mozart and Strauss, Freud and Klimt, of grand palaces, onion-bulb churches and beautiful<br />
Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings. These days, old and new combine in a seamless experience for visitors,<br />
transport links are superb and tourist infrastructure is frighteningly well organised, ensuring you won’t miss<br />
any of the experiences Austria has to offer.<br />
