Wherever you're staying in Austria, the other regions are all worth some serious exploring. The Alps to the Danube, hiking, skiing, galleries, monuments, mountains and lakes are spread across 9 federal provinces.
Vienna and the western provinces are traditionally more popular though the milder south is drawing its share of tourists.
The wooded hills of Burgenland where wine is cultivated, the passion play staged once in 5 years in St. Margarethen, an intensely rejuvenating spa experience or the silver mines and stud farms near Graz, these are all day long affairs.Whether you want to indulge in skiing, horse backriding or even if you're a glutton for more art and architecture, every little place in Austria has a wealth of beautiful churches and palaces. Plan your day out from your abode according to your preference for lounging or touring.
P.S: I'm personally fascinated by all the castles, the Seeschloss Orth in the middle of waves against a backdrop of mountains and trees, ordinary (?) castles tucked away in little country nooks, all so matter of factly grand.
