Vienna is of course a favorite city destination, but you would miss out if you prematurely discarded the rest of Austria. Indeed, Austria is a popular vacation sport in the heart of Europe. As a hub of central Europe it is a convenient destination for many Europeans and visitors from overseas.
Innsbruck
One of the most popular destinations for locals is to spend vacations in Innsbruck amongst the Austrian alps. Whether you want to go skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, or spend a leisurely vacation at the Austrian lakes – Innsbruck has a lot to offer.
If you’re heading to Innsbruck soon there are a few hotels you have to check out.
Hotel Maximillan is a fantastic spot right in the heart of downtown Innsbruck. Right next to the pedestrian zone the hotel is just a few minutes walk away from The Golden Roof.
All of the major attractions in Innsbruck are within a short walk from the hotel, with the Imperial Palace and St. James’ Cathedral both under 5 minutes away.
The city’s train station is just under a mile away from the hotel, an easy walk or a short cab ride away. In the winter this is a prime ski location, and in the summer a great getaway for many looking to escape city life.

Bordering the German border with views of the Eastern alps, Salzburg was the setting of the epic film “The Sound of Music”. Running through the town center is the Salzach River, which creates a pedestrian area (Alstadt) on the left bank and Neustadt on the right.
The Danube valley with its vineyards is another variation in the sightseeing which promises to deliver the relief of greenery and wide landscapes.
