Austria

Austria has to be one of the most picturesque countries in Europe! From the beautiful rolling hills made iconic in The Sound of Music to the world class skiing of the Austrian Alps, the country has some pretty incredible scenic landscapes. Not to mention, it's also the birthplace of Mozart, as well as Wiener Schnitzel and apple strudel... yum!

Exploring the medieval castles of Salzburg, the baroque palaces of Vienna, the charming lakeside towns (such as Hallstatt!) and the famous Christmas markets, will have you feeling like you've stepped back in time.
