Austria is known for its musical traditions and its incredible historical and cultural sights, including churches, monasteries, castles, palaces and museums. Austria's lively cities and picturesque villages are set amid the stunning natural beauty of snowy mountain peaks, lush green meadows and blue alpine lakes.

Guests of Tirol vacation rentals will find outstanding skiing in the higher altitude resorts such as Lech am Arlberg and Zurs in Vorarlberg province, St. Anton and Seefeld near Innsbruck, and St. Johann and Kitzbuhel in Tirol province.

Ski resorts at the lower elevations, such as the villages of the Montafon Valley in Vorarlberg province, are often more reasonably priced and offer a more authentic Alpine village setting. Summertime activities in the Alps for guests of Austria vacation rentals include hiking, rock climbing, golfing, tennis, cycling and horseback riding.

Highlights for guests of Vienna vacation rentals include classical music concerts; the 12th century St. Stephen's Cathedral with its art treasures and fabulous views from the bell tower; city tours by bus, bike or foot; the Museum of Austrian Medieval Art and the Museum of Austrian Baroque, housed in the Belvedere palaces; and the lavish 1,200-room Schloss Schonbrunn palace.

At the fabulous 13th century Hofburg (Imperial Palace), guests of Austria vacation rentals can tour the imperial apartments and state rooms, view the Albertina Colletion of Graphic Arts, visit the Kapuinerkirche, which houses the crypt of the Habsburg family, and watch an amazing performance of the Lipizzaner horses at the Spanish Riding School.

Visitors to Vienna can stay in apartments in the city, or commute to Vienna from nearby towns such as the historic spa town of Baden.

In the picturesque city of Salzburg, guests of Salzburger Land vacation rentals can ride a cog railway up to the 11th century Hohensalzburg Fortress overlooking the city. Other highlights include the Hellbrunn Pleasure Castle, and the 17th century Renaissance cathedral, the Schoss Mirabell baroque palace, the Residenz palace and Mozart's birthplace.

Salzburg is host to a number of musical performances and festivals, including the late-summer Salzburger Festspiele.

About an hour east of Salzburg are a number of lakeside villages that make a great base for commuting to Salzburg, including Seekinchen, Fuschl am See, Mattsee and Fastenau on the Hintersee. Other accommodations to the southwest include Zell am See, Unken, and Leogang vacation rentals.
