Working in Austria Austria's natural beauty and outstanding cultural variety make it a favoured tourist destination. Austria's contribution to the world's musical heritage is second to none, and music-lovers can enjoy a wide range of festivals and concerts, from classical to avant-garde. Museums, castles, monuments, galleries - Austria's cities and towns offer a wealth of opportunities to explore. In 2003, Graz, Austria's second largest city, is the Cultural Capital of Europe - and besides featuring a packed programme of events, has launched new sites such as the Mur Island - an island made of glass and steel - and the Kunsthaus exhibition hall.
Austria boasts a number of World Heritage Sites, including the historic centres of Graz, Salzburg and Vienna, the Palace and Gardens of Schönbrunn, the Semmering Railway and the breathtaking landscapes of the Salzkammergut, the Wachau and the Neusiedler See.
Skiing and hiking amidst spectacular vistas also remains a way of life here - Austria's Alpine region stretches from the West to the South and takes up approximately two thirds of the country's surface area.
