THE AUSTRIAN CHARM
From Imperial splendor to serene ambience, you can perceive the transformation in the charms of Austria. The time spent in Austria makes you marvel at the capacity of humans to work hard and equally relax and enjoy cultural moorings. One of the most advanced economies in the world, Austria beacons you with its dizzy classical and modern music, enviable stage shows, trekking in Alpine heights, relaxing in the great lake sides and a hundred other never tiring variants to spend time effortlessly and profitably.
Vienna, Salzburg, Linz, Graz, Klagenfurt and Innsbruck are the large cities. Each is unique and has its own style of living, imparting silently the majesty of living proudly as well. In Austria you would miss the blatant nationalistic streak that could be discerned almost everywhere else. The political and geographical divisions in Austria have largely been reflecting regional outlook without of course sacrificing a cosmopolitan outlook. However, there is a complacent strength in the feeling of belonging to a narrow identity in terms of many aspects of culture. It is never flaunted and you understand the pervasive manifestation of that proud spirit.
A very great and judicious blend of the most sophisticated modern technology flourishes side by side with classical music in an average Austrian’s life and the tourist subtly imbibes that spirit. This not the merger of materialism and classicism but the skills of modern technology integrating with the musical notes of the highest order. And this spirit of easy transformation from hard work to great relaxation, mundane to spiritual, human to divine should be undergone rather than understood. This metamorphosis brings a new gait to our strides, a new vision to our sight and a new mission to our lives.
To move around Austria you have all types of transport system. There is no dearth of airways, railways, public bus transport or tourist vans either. Railways and roads are ideal preferences to airways because they give us the chance to view the panoramic natural settings while travelling. The scenic beauties of mere landscapes in the form of forest areas, lakes, waterways, ridges, mountain silhouettes and vast greens are breath-taking.
A holiday pleasure-trip to Austria, its varied splendors is a must in modern life. Or for that matter a business trip too will give you a different perspective because you will unconsciously be drawn into the beauty of nature as well. The trip will open our eyes to myriad nature of life and its finer values. We shall enjoy the charms of Austria to the brim.
