Special Destinations
For a change of pace after golf or for the non-golfers who come along on the trip, Austria has a variety of sights, other sporting activities and incredibly good cuisine to offer, guaranteeing a top-class vacation.
A visit to Hohensalzburg Fortress is worthwhile if you book a golf vacation in beautiful Salzburger Land in Austria. Salzburg's landmark is located on a mountain high above the city. The old town is also worth a visit. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996.
But Austria has much more to offer: If you are more drawn to Tyrol for your golf vacation, a trip to one of the nature parks is a good idea.
If the weather is bad, you can also visit one of Austria's many historic towns, such as Innsbruck or Rattenberg. The Obir dripstone caves in southern Carinthia, which have been a UNESCO Geopark since 2013, are a true natural wonder.
But not only Salzburg, Tyrol and Carinthia, but also Burgenland, Lower and Upper Austria as well as the other three federal states of Vienna, Vorarlberg and Styria have a lot to offer to make a golf vacation an unforgettable experience.
Culinary Highlights
You won't miss out on culinary delights on a golf vacation in Austria either. The country is famous for its pastries and desserts as well as the countless coffee creations in the Viennese coffee houses. The Sachertorte, created at the Viennese court in 1832, is world-famous.
A number of restaurants with one or two Michelin stars can be found in both Salzburg and Vienna. The only restaurant in Austria to have been awarded three stars is Amador in Vienna. Austria has also made a name for itself as a wine country. Burgenland is home to one of Austria's red wine regions.
Arrival & Infrastructure on Site
The international airports in Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Linz, Salzburg and Vienna make Austria easily accessible. They are regularly served by Lufthansa and other airlines. If you are traveling by car, please note the following: You need a vignette for almost all Austrian highways. These are available for 10 days, two months or a year. You can also buy them conveniently online.
The rail network in Austria is very well developed. This means that the larger cities can be reached quickly and easily. For example, it only takes 2.5 hours by train to get from Vienna to Salzburg. If you are traveling from Germany, the Munich - Vienna train connection is an ideal way to get there.
