It is extremely safe. Public transportation is the best in the world. Many embassy employees do not bother owning a car. There are activities to suit nearly every interest. We are not into opera or music, for example, but we love the museums, the hiking, and the travel opportunities. - May 2013
The history and culture are fascinating. Beautiful Gothic and Baroque buildings with sterile plain buildings interspersed - sad reminders of the bombings during the war. Gorgeous countryside ranging from rolling green hills to magnificent snow-capped mountains. Highways are immaculate with all the conveniences. Winters can be cold, but the Austrians enthusiastically embrace it, starting with Christmas markets in November and outdoor ice-skating rinks until Spring. Schools close for a week in February so families can go skiing. - Jan 2013
