H olidays in Austria. We are delighted to present you with our Destination Austria Travel Manual 2009. It is the most comprehensive and complete reference guide for
travel to and within Austria.This publication incorporates a detailed listing of Australian and New Zealand travel companies selling a large product range of Austrian
holiday experiences – from city stays to Danube cruises, musical/cultural packages and walking or cycling tours – all designed to exploring Austria’s diverse landscapes
and unique cultural offerings. It also includes flight information, travel tips, accommodation guides and features handy listings like a website directory, distance charts and
chapters on rail travel as well as a coloured map of our country.
In 2009 Austria celebrates Haydn Year, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the death of the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and Linz, the city on the
Danube, takes centre stage as European Capital of Culture.
40 % of our guests visit Austria during the winter months – reason enough to dedicate this year’s edition to focus on winter in the “Heart of Europe”. Have you always
dreamed of a White Christmas? Would you like to smell the scent of beeswax candles on a Christmas market and warm your hands holding a bag full of roasted
chestnuts? Winter in Austria is a magical time both in our cities and in the Alps. Skiing is a way of life for many Austrians and our country offers 22.000 km of groomed
slopes in hundreds of skiresorts, many of them world famous destinations and our snow covered mountains are home to 43 World Champions in this sport.
Exploring local culinary delights has become a favourite activity for many travellers and with this in mind we are introducing you to a selection of dishes and beverages
best experienced when temperatures are low. They warm you from the inside and with their sweet or savoury flavour you will find out what winter in Austria tastes like.
I cordially welcome you to my home-country and your next holiday – it’s got to be Austria.
Enjoy the journey, Astrid Mulholland-Licht

The legendary
Danube
Nothing introduces you better to the delights of Austria like a trip
down the Danube, where its banks are rich with history, cultural
treasures and sunlit vineyards.
I t is 7 o’clock in the morning on a beautiful Austrian summer day and you are already up on the
sundeck of your vessel to admire the surrounding scenery. On the way through the enchanting
river valley you pass nameable cities such as Linz - European Capital of Culture 2009, ancient
castles perched up on high cliffs, historical villages - some so small you need to walk as cars
aren’t allowed and green grapevines ripening under a baking sun.
You cruise along the 900-year old Benedictine Abbey of Melk at the entrance to the World Cultural
Heritage Region Wachau before you go ashore in Dürnstein where you walk through medieval
2 cobblestone streets and discover the magnificent blue façade of the baroque Stiftskirche.
Wet your appetite!

When you close your eyes you can observe and enjoy the aroma of the well known Wachau apricot.
From the fruit gardens along the river, locals produce tempting goodies such as jams and fruit-jellies,
Schnapps, or cakes and sell them in their little shops or at the local farmers markets.
Winemaking in the area around the river Danube can be traced back to the Celtic times. Try one of
the famous Austrian wines produced in this area such as the Grüner Veltliner or Riesling in one of
the inviting wine-taverns or on board of your vessel while the scenery is passing by.
Soon you will arrive in the heart of Austria’s capital city Vienna. The Danube metropolis with its
inviting coffee houses, classical music and charming atmosphere is not only the most loved city
of world famous musicians and composers, with its Imperial Palaces, old trams and charismatic
locals it will for sure make your Danube cruise an unforgettable experience.

Unique Austria
According to the route planner, it is just 675km between
Lake Neusiedel in the East and Bregenz in the West.
B ut in between, a compact, small country, delightful to see and easy to get

to know awaits you!
The scenery is spectacular around every corner and ranges from Alpine
peaks and their icy world of glaciers in the West to vineyards, ancient castles,
venerable abbeys and wooded hills rising out of the lush farmland in the East.
Austria is old… and yet Austria is new.

Nowhere else can you see gothic buildings such as St. Stephen’s Cathedral in
Vienna next to a postmodern glass facade like the one of the Haas Haus.
2 3 “The Heart of Europe” - as Austria is often referred to - also has the

worldwide reputation as being synonymous with culture. You can enjoy
concerts and performances in just about every small village. Event calendars
of bigger towns and cities fill entire books and festivals are an integral part of
cultural life.
A journey through Austria is also a great experience for your taste-buds.

Every region has its own distinct culinary features and specialties and some
areas in the country’s east and south are famous for their wines, like Grüner
Veltliner or Blauer Zweigelt. Eat and drink as the Austrians do – they have a
passion for it that is contagious.

2. St. Stephen's Cathedral next to the Haas Haus, Vienna
3. Meet the locals at the Kunsthalle Vienna

Vienna has always been a capital of art and culture. Throughout the city, an inimitable blend of imperial
splendour and living tradition continually gives rise to new culture and a thriving young scene. And in
between times you can enjoy an unforgettable shopping experience in the city’s small boutiques and
large flagship stores. Vienna is always worth a trip – and not just in springtime!
