Castles · Art Museums · Churches
When touring Austria, it is quite impossible to miss its many and versatile castles. Some resemble abodes from fairytales and bear witness to more than 900 years of history, like Fortress Hohensalzburg that provides sweeping views of Salzburg from its hilltop location. Another impressive medieval rock castle and one of the state's landmarks is Hochosterwitz Castle. Castles in Austria offer visitors plenty of attractions, from museums, art galleries, and classical music festivals to falconry shows and trick fountains like the one at Schloss Hellbrunn.
