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.
