About Austria
Austria is a landlocked federation of nine states in the Eastern Alps, with Vienna as its capital, largest city and a state in its own right. Long the heartland of the Habsburg monarchy, it was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1938 and declared permanent neutrality in 1955. Today it is known for alpine skiing, hydropower, a vast classical music heritage and its coffee house culture.
