In college, my husband and I each spent a semester abroad in Austria. It was an incredible experience, and we both were able to travel around Europe quite a bit during that time. Living in Germany now, we both still gravitate to Austria. My friend J even calls us "Austriaphiles."
I deny nothing.

This last weekend we hopped on a train to Innsbruck. The trains in Europe are a great way to get around. They're usually cheaper than flying, kids under 14 are free, and no one has to drive. Plus you end up meeting fun people and get to enjoy the views.
If you ever make your way to Innsbruck, I would highly recommend taking the cable railway up Nordkette. It is a little pricey, but worth every cent. (If you purchase an Innsbruck card it covers a trip up as well as getting you into a few other places-like the Alpenzoo.) The railway brings you up several stations until you're looking down on the city and there are still mountains at your back.
If in doubt, you should just go. Austria is phenomenal. :)
