Vienna
Well, I have to start with the obvious, and what can I do? Vienna really is one of the top cities in Austria. It’s a perfect European destination for architecture, history, and culture lovers thanks to its elegant buildings, impressive landmarks, and countless museums (more than a hundred to be exact). Some of my favorite spots in the city are the Schönbrunn Palace, the Museum of Art History, and the quirky Hundertwasser House, but the list goes on and on. Another aspect to love about this ci...
Steyr
By Alina from World of Lina The romantic city of Steyr is the third-largest city in the federal state of Upper Austria. It’s located at the estuary of the two rivers Enns and Steyr. Although almost 40,000 people are living in this city, it doesn’t feel that big at all. Steyr has a special small-town charm that makes it such a nice and relaxed place to visit! The best way to reach Steyr is by taking the train from Linz. The ride only takes one hour, and it’s the perfect option if you don’t hav...

Graz
By Nicholas from Rambling Feet Vienna is rightly Austria’s crown jewel, but Graz is also quite a gem. It’s the country’s second-largest city and the capital of the mountainous state of Styria. The railway between the two utilizes the Semmeringbahn, the oldest standard-gauge mountain track in Europe. Buses are available, but if you take the train, it’s a much more scenic ride. Most months of the year, Graz is filled with university students (Hurrah! Affordable food! Nightlife!). The tram that...

Bregenz
By Steve from Austria Direct With around 30,000 inhabitants, Bregenz is only the third-largest settlement in its home province. But the capital of Vorarlberg is famous way beyond the borders of Austria for its annual cultural event: the Bregenz Festival. The Bregenzer Festspiele is held in July and August of each year and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city on the southeastern shore of Lake Constance. The popular operas performed in the open air on a specially designed floatin...
Feldkirch
Bordering both Liechtenstein and Switzerland, Feldkirch is a small medieval city that’s worth a few hours of your time. It can be a stop on an Austrian road trip or a day trip by train/bus from either Innsbruck, Bregenz, Vaduz (Liechtenstein’s capital), or Zurich. Beyond strolling through its utterly charming streets, there isn’t much sightseeing to do, but if there’s one place you shouldn’t miss, it’s the 12th-century Schattenburg Castle. It was the residence of the Duke of Montfort, who fou...
