Travel Insurance to Austria
A mountainous landlocked country of south-central Europe, what is called the core of Europe
Austria’s prominence can be attributed to its geographic position. It is at the centre of European traffic between east and west along the great Danubian trade route and between north and south through the magnificent Alpine passes. Following the collapse in 1918 of Austria-Hungary, this small country experienced more than a quarter century of social and economic upheaval.
With the end of World War II, Austria has developed into a stable and socially progressive nation with a flourishing cultural life reminiscent of its earlier days of international musical glory. The capital of Austria is historic Vienna (Wien), the former seat of the Holy Roman Empire and a city renowned for its architecture.
Austria is bordered to the north by the Czech Republic, to the northeast by Slovakia, to the east by Hungary, to the south by Slovenia, to the southwest by Italy, to the west by Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and to the northwest by Germany.
Mountains and forests give the Austrian landscape its character, although in the northeastern part of the country the Danube River winds between the eastern edge of the Alps and the hills of Bohemia and Moravia in its journey toward the Alföld, or Hungarian Plain. Vienna lies in the area where the Danube emerges from between the mountains into the drier plains.
You may require travel insurance to secure a Schengen Visa, this will allow access to Schengen Area amongst other European counties.
