Our Austria travel guide has been redesigned with you, the traveller, in mind, so you can take it wherever you go.

Stunning Alpine landscapes, sparkling lakes, art-filled palaces - Austria is a blend of pristine nature and high culture.

Whether you want to hike in the alps, visit remarkably well-preserved medieval towns or simply indulge in Vienna's decadent café culture, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Austria has to offer.

The beauty of Alpine peaks, idyllic valleys and magnificent waterfalls has long enchanted visitors to Austria and inspired a rich cultural output. You'll see it on the evocative cobblestoned streets and grand boulevards of Austria's cities, where the sounds of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven fill the air, and magnificent palaces stand shoulder-to-shoulder with modern architectural masterpieces.

Our newly updated guide brings Austria to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations which place you inside the country's iconic buildings and neighbourhoods. We've also worked hard to make sure our information is as up-to-date as possible following the COVID-19 outbreak.

You'll discover:

• our pick of Austria's must-sees, top experiences and hidden gems
• the best spots to eat, drink, shop and stay
• detailed maps and walks which make navigating the country easy
