Information about AUSTRIA Austria has been the scene of some of Europe’s most dramatic historical moments. It was also once the centre of power for the mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire and this hugely significant past is reflected in the stunning architecture of its towns and cities. Despite its important role in shaping Europe, Austria is even more famous for being the Mecca of Classical music. Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn and Strauss were all either born or educated here. Austrias borders and its neighbours have been changing almost constantly throughout history, and this has lent itself to the broad range of cultures and customs that you can witness throughout the country today. Situated in Central Europe, the country begins in the high peaks of the Alps, and descends eastwards to the majestic river Danube and its borders with several former Eastern Bloc countries. Its economy is strong and varied and it has long been an important hub between Western and Eastern Europe. Its citizens enjoy a high standard of living, even by European standards, and its foreign trade practices are as developed as any other country’s.
