Austria By Rail Guide

Austria is a relatively small, landlocked country bordered by eight other countries each with its own unique people and culture. Furthermore, the country has a unique geography including the dominent Alpine area, lakes, glaciers and woodland.

Despite these local differences however, Austrians are proud of their country and of their national identity.

Austria has long been a popular tourist destination for Germans, with Germans accounting for approx 50% of all visitors in 2005.
