Your Choice: Austria or a Cruise from England

Austria is a small country in the center of Europe & arouses constant interest in tourists. It is worthwhile to visit at any season of the year: the brilliant capital Vienna beckons by its architectural & cultural treasures, warm & clean lakes guarantee excellent leisure in summer, outstanding &, in some cases, inexpensive.

Austria's Alpine health resorts & spas attract numerous visitors in winter. Stay in inexpensive boarding houses to bask at leisure in the warm lakes in summer (average temperature of the water is 26°C), walk on the mountains, health-improvement & relaxation in the thermal sources.

Compulsorily to visit are the Viennese concerts of Mozart located in the city of Vienna which not only moves in the rhythm, elegantly waltzing in the centuries, through historical troubles & political complexities, but also looks at it all condescendingly with humor. Coffee is as popular as Waltz in Vienna so have a splendid cup of coffee in the comfortable coffee house around the corner.

It is simply superfluous to remind one of the skiing pleasures to be had in Austria! The lavish snow of the Alps awaits their subjugators in any season of the year. At one's services are more than 23,000 kilometers of mountain-skiing routes, 3510 cableways & hoists, 65 illuminated by night mountain slopes, & almost 1300 mountain cabins & plenty of restaurants. Alpine health resorts propose entertainments to any taste. Greatly it will be pleasing for one to be in Austria. Visitors will want to return again!
