Austria - our favourite place




Category: My latest Europe trip | Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2005 1:13 pm

And now to Austria - our favourite place we visited. Austria is a very beautiful place. Clean tidy and the people are very friendly. I could live there tomorrow! Also quite reasonable prices (compared to some of the other countries!)

Austria, and in fact most of Europe, was ruled by one Austrian family (the Hapburgs) for over 600 years. The Hapburgs were not adverse to using force to get their way, but preferred the more civilised way of politics to ensure their rule. (More on the Hapburgs later)

There is a great wealth of history in Austria. It is where Hitler came from as well as many other notable historical figures.

Austria also has its share of beautiful architecture. Here is a church, which would be considered average for this country.

Architecture is a combination or gothic and renaissance, depending on when it was built.
