Q: When did you go to Austria? What do u like most about Austria? Elaborate or explain further.
A: I went to Austria in July 2015, first few days were extremely hot like 35 degrees, we also had much sun. Â
What I like the most about Austria? The amazing and beautiful mountains of course! It all looks very pretty and I like the wild nature and high tops in the mountains… Also in Austria you see nice waterfalls and glaciers.Â

Q: Â What are the usual public transport in Austria?
A:Â Mostly you’ll see bus and train as public transport, but we used the car. Also you’ll see mountain railways and cable cars to go up the mountain.Â
Q: What is the most delicious Austrian food you have ever tasted?
A:Â I really like Apfelstrudel. This dish contains apple and raisins, it is nice warm and taste sweet, really delicious to eat after hiking in the mountains!Â

A: You can go restaurant, just try it at the Duisburger Hütte, all way up in the mountains.
It is also fantastic to eat a warm soup with fresh baked bread

A: Not very cheap actually, I guess average plate prices are around the 6 or 7 euro.
Q: What are the cities you recommend?
A: Kalgenfurt is interesting place but not very special or giving a wow. When you really like romantic cities with nice churches and palaces go to Salzburg or Wien (Vienna) Austria is a country with many nice castles and palaces, so it is awesome to see this someday. And you know in palaces or castles everywhere you see details and designs. Like about every piece of the building has history and own unique design.

 During the summer you can hike in the mountains. Spring and autumn are less popular because of the weather type.
