About Austria

Austria is a landlocked republic in the heart of Central Europe, roughly two-thirds of it draped in the Alps. Its capital, Vienna, sits on the Danube and reigned for centuries as seat of the Habsburg Empire, nurturing composers from Mozart to Strauss. Alpine skiing, coffeehouse culture, and pastel baroque towns give the country a blend of imperial grandeur and mountain charm.

• ·Austria's red-white-red flag, linked to the Babenberg dukes of the Middle Ages, is among the oldest national flag designs still in use.
• ·Vienna's Tiergarten Schönbrunn, founded in 1752 as an imperial menagerie, is the world's oldest continuously operating zoo.
• ·Austria's German name, Österreich, means Eastern Realm, from its origins as an eastern frontier march of the medieval empire.
