Hello, we are

Austria
Austria, in the heart of Europe, is a wonderful place to be. If you interested in culture or if you like nature you have many possibilities in and around the country.
First, Vienna, the capitol of Austria. This city is full of historical places, great architecture, museums, theatres and an excellent cuisine. You can walk in the footsteps of the Habsburgs and visit Schönbrunn or the Spanish riding school with the Lipizzan ballet, see the exhibition of Klimt´s paintings in the Upper Belvedere, or have a break in one of the numerios Heuriger – a typical Austrian wine tavern. Vienna is not only an old city, it´s also modern too. You have an exciting art complex – the Museums Quartier
www.mqw.at - with a museum for mordern art, a theatre especially for kids, cafés and restaurants. Nearby there is Mariahilfer street, one of the most popular shopping streets. Vienna has a beautiful green side an a nice surrounding with many nature like the Danube meadows, the Vienna woods, the vineyards or Lake Neusiedl.
