Imperial Habsburg Palaces, Baroque Danube Abbeys & Alpine Fortresses of Austria

From Vienna's Schönbrunn, Hofburg, and Belvedere to Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Fortress, Benedictine Melk Abbey, and Carinthia's 14-gate Hochosterwitz Castle.

Six Centuries of Habsburg & Prince-Archbishop Architecture

Austria's architectural landscape spans imperial summer palaces like Schönbrunn (1,441 rooms) and Prince Eugene's Belvedere in Vienna, the cliff-top citadel of Festung Hohensalzburg in Salzburg, golden Danube monasteries at Melk, Klosterneuburg, and Admont (home to the world's largest monastic library), and dramatic medieval fortresses at Hochosterwitz, Riegersburg, and Kufstein.
