Austria is full of beautiful lakes and mountains, some of the most impressive architecture in Europe and an unrivalled music and art tradition.   An unparalleled itinerary takes you through two of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes- the Wachau Valley, straddling the Danube and lined by magnificent baroque abbeys and the Dachstein/Salzkammergut Region- an impressive glacial formation that casts its view over the salt lakes one of the few areas in Europe to preserve original folk customs before arriving in one of the most significant historical centers of Europe- Salzburg, where Music, art and architecture reach baroque perfection in Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace. The UNESCO tour culminates in a tour of Vienna- the capital and hub of the country's musical life and home to some of Europe's most beautiful art and architecture- including the Schonbrunn Palace, the Leopold museum and the Belvedere.
