Study Abroad Austria
Austria
offers urban sophistication and rustic simplicity, excellent restaurants
and music festivals, towering mountains and green valleys, and spectacular
winter snow.
The Alps curve across the country, sparing only sections in the southern
and eastern regions. Lush valleys flank the river courses, the most
famous of which is the Danube, Europe's longest river. Austria's other
rivers—the Inn, the Ill, and the Drau—and its many lakes are beautiful.
A paradise for students who enjoy the outdoors, Austria is synonymous
with skiing, both downhill and cross-country. Winter delights also include
ice-skating, curling, tobogganing, and rides in horse-drawn sleighs.
In summer, residents and students alike stroll, hike, or ride on horseback
or on mountain bikes. Challenging mountaineering treks are offered near
all major peaks, and almost every town or hamlet provides guided hikes
and alpine tours. Golf and tennis are also popular, as are trout fishing
and water sports—such as swimming, sailing, and wind surfing—in the
lake districts.
Away from the capital of Vienna and other major towns, daily life has
preserved old-world rhythms and customs. Natural geologic barriers have
divided the country into distinct regions where local people have evolved
in relative isolation and fostered their own cultural traditions. These
unique flavors are still in evidence today.
