As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

The great F1 roadshow rolls into Spielberg in July, bringing with it firework displays and open-air concerts plus motorcycle displays and the Flying Bulls Airshow. Hardened petrol heads enjoy pit lane walks, Porsche Supercup races, practice laps and qualifying sessions before the main action kicks off on Sunday at 2pm, when the world’s fastest Grand Prix drivers pit their razor-sharp skills against each other at hair-raising speeds.

What an absolute pleasure it was to attend this fantastic circuit. Every one told us we were stupid to choose the Austrian F1 GP this year, but that was because they have never attended. The organizers did a fantastic job. The facilities were good and clean and no queues for road traffic nor entering the facilities. Parking is plentiful and free in open grassy fields, no mud. It was not even too far to walk. Ladies, don't get it in your heads to wear heels please, but I am sure you know that already. The toilets were spotless where I went. Thank you to the hard working folks cleaning for us. Officials everywhere were extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you! We did not camp but the camping seemed way better organised than what we have seen before at F1 GP. The atmosphere with all the Dutch fans was amazing! We were lucky enough to sit right next to the Verstappen Trbune. Sorry that Verstappen went out so soon. Sure, the fans were disappointed but they continued to faithfully support the Red Bull Team. Great sport guys! Scenery is beautiful. You are surrounded by mountains. Definitely a Grand Prix to recommend attending.

Yet another of Vienna's traditional Christmas Markets, the annual Spittelberg gathering exudes a bohemian atmosphere.

If you visit Vienna for the Christmas markets then this is definitely one to see. It has a different ambience to the other markets which can feel very samey once you have walked down one row. Here you can find a collection of different items and is well worth a visit. It is situated along 3 alleys and so has a feel of a street market as well.
4. Morbisch Lake Festival
Overall Ratings

A unique opera festival, Mörbisch isn't just for those who love to hear a good soprano or critique an alto — it’s for anyone who can listen to and appreciate a beautiful voice in a stunning location. Mörbisch Lake Festival offers performances on the largest open-air stage in the world, which coincidentally happens to sit on a National Park lake. Pretty dreamy right? Over most of July until the end of August, tickets are available for a variety of performances showcasing some of the opera world’s most renowned voices. Just 60km southeast of Vienna, this unrivalled event makes for the bucket list and is well worth the trip.

Romantic Vienna lights up in Advent with the scent of glühwein hanging over the Rathausplatz Christkindlmarkt set against the lovely backdrop of the Neo-Gothic town hall. Here more than 150 wooden stalls offer yuletide gifts – from handmade wooden toys to lavish tree decorations and Christmas candles – lights are strung across the square and nativity stories are read each evening. Food vendors offer Viennese specialities from smoked sausages to apple strudels and spicy punch, there are carol concerts around the Christmas tree and train rides on the Christkindl Express in the Rathauspark.

The city has 7 or 8 Christmas markets but the one at Rathaus is the biggest. You can find there an ice skating rink, panoramic wheel and many Christmas houses where you can buy souvenirs, delicious sausages, gingerbread and mulled wine (the price is 8 Euro if you want to keep the mug and if you want to return it you receive back 4 Euro).
