And now to Austria - our favourite place we visited. Austria is a very beautiful place. Clean tidy and the people are very friendly. I could live there tomorrow! Also quite reasonable prices (
compared to some of the other countries!)
Austria, and in fact most of Europe, was ruled by one Austrian family (
the Hapburgs) for over 600 years. The Hapburgs were not adverse to using force to get their way, but preferred the more civilised way of politics to ensure their rule. (
More on the Hapburgs later)
There is a great wealth of history in Austria. It is where Hitler came from as well as many other notable historical figures.
Austria also has its share of beautiful architecture. Here is a church, which would be considered average for this country.
Architecture is a combination or gothic and renaissance, depending on when it was built.
