Austria's diversity does not only shine through its landscape but through its population as well. Due to its central location in the heart of Europe and its vibrant history, a cross-section of cultures flow together and are combined in Austria. Austria is located in a temperate climatic zone with a Central European climate influenced by the Atlantic climate. The four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) each have typical temperature and climatic characters.
Given its geographical position, Austria's culture over the centuries has grown into a fascinating blend of numerous European heritages. This is one reason why it has established itself as one of the continent's most popular travel destinations. Another is that, within an area of no more than 83,858 km2 it harbours a wealth of unique attractions: an extraordinary variety of landscapes, from Alpine peaks to rolling plains; and an immeasurably rich legacy of art treasures from every era of European history. In addition, Austria is the ideal venue for innumerable sports, from hiking to climbing, from yachting and windsurfing to diving and canoeing, from golf to cycling and mountain biking, and from hang-gliding to summer skiing.
When eating out in Austria you will find that Lunch is usually served from 12noon to 2pm and dinner is available from 6pm onwards. Tip A service charge of 10% - 15% is included in all hotel and restaurant bills. When satisfied with the service it is customary to give a tip amounting to approximately 5% of the bill. Since 28th of February 2002 the Euro is the only valid currency in Austria.
