Plenty of Czechs associate Austria with skiing and Vienna. But Austria is a summer destination for backpackers too. Alpine villages, lakes, cycle routes along the Danube, national parks and one of the most beautiful views in the world. What to see in Austria depends on the season.
In this section you’ll find a guide to Vienna with tips on museums, cafés and neighbourhoods off the tourist circuit. But also Hallstatt (yes, it’s worth it despite the crowds), Salzburg, Graz, the Salzkammergut lakes and the Alpine regions.
A quick ad break: Austria isn’t the cheapest, but the value for money is excellent. We look for accommodation through Booking.com, and book trips and activities like Danube cruises, castle tours or mountain hikes through GetYourGuide.

Auschwitz is a place that doesn’t deserve that tone, and yet we wanted to write a guide that helps you handle the visit both practically and humanly. Because here too, good preparation makes the difference between standing confused at...
