Austria

Donna and I visited Austria for the first time in January of 2017. This Central European nation is a gem in Europe. Home to many famous composers such as Mozart and Strauss it is a cultural haven where you can see classical music, beautiful architecture of many different styles and a storied past during the Austrian-Hungarian empire. This German speaking nation of around 8 million people is highly mountainous and makes for great scenery as you travel the nation. We used the Austrian rail system OBB while in Austria and it is very well done. Its a country I highly recommend visiting.
