Introduction

The book presents Austria as a contemporary Shangri-la for all seasons in the midst of an economically challenged, war-torn world. Starting with its historical background of imperial legacy and developed over the past six centuries, readers are then taken on an exploratory tour of modern-day Austria where they experience Vienna and its environs, as well as exploring Austria farther afield and including must-see Austrian sights.

Book's Premise

Then the book's premise is illustrated through twelve vignettes—personalized, off-the-beaten-track experiences—each of which captures unique features of Austria's nine provinces (including Vienna) during all four seasons of the year, contrasting places, times, and individual adventures.

Additional Concepts

A complementary concept profiles experiences of different kinds—sports, culture, customs and traditions—along with Austrian culinary and wine specialties.
