The Country Of Austria - Gorgeous Scenery, Delicious Cuisine, Dynamic Musical Performances

Austria is a Eastern European country with a very colorful past

, as per usual for most European countries. Famous for fascinating cities, beautiful landscapes, and historic towns and villages, Austria a country that offers a little something for everyone. Whether you are traveling here to go skiing, do a little historical exploring, or just want to see the sites, you will need to get a passport. You can do this by going online and filling out new passport application forms right from your computer.

Thanks to online passport services, the passport application process has undergone an extreme makeover. This means that lengthy, stressful trips to the passport office or the post office are required. Every sort of passport service you might need can be done from the computer. What's more, these passport services make quick passports a very real possibility with their expedited U S passport shipping.

It's a little overhwhelming how many fun things there are to do in Austria. It honestly depends on personal taste and preference as to what you decide to do. However, I recommend starting with a bike ride, both around the city and its outskirts. In fact, there is one particular bike trail that is the most popular in both Austria and Europe, and it takes you along the banks of the Danube River. Definitely do not miss a ride through the rolling countryside. Also be sure to try some hiking, as the country is very mountainous. It works out nicely: the places you can't bike ride, you can hike in. There are definitely tons of hiking trails, as well as places to lodge while you're hiking.

Music is very near to the heart of Austria and its people. Famous composers from Austria include Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, and Strauss, so you can imagine just how prominent music is in Austria. In big cities like Salzburg and Vienna, you can see world famous operas, classical music performances, and jazz performances. During the summer, many different music festivals are held, and there is one for every genre. However, not all Austrian music comes from the big composers. Folk music is an integral part of Austria's heritage, and you don't have to travel far to see people playing their own music.

Food is yet another part of Austrian culture, and Austria is no stranger to delicious food. You might have heard of or even tasted Weiner Schnitzel before, but you should definitely try this famous Austrian dish in its homeland. Other famous Austrian dishes are Tafelsspitz and Knodel. Bread is actually a very large part of the Austrian diet, and the making - and perfection - of it ensures that it is some of the best in the world. Definitely try a few different types.
