Overview
Austria is a German-speaking country in Central Europe, characterized by its mountain villages, baroque city architecture,
Imperial history and rugged alpine terrain. Vienna, its Danube River capital, is home to the Schonbrunn and Hofburg palaces,
and has counted Mozart, Strauss and Sigmund Freud among its residents. The country’s other notable regions include the northern
Bohemian Forest, Lake Traun and eastern hillside vineyards. Austria is a largely mountainous country due to its location in
the Alps. The Central Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps and Southern Limestone Alps are all partly in Austria. Of the total
area of Austria (84,000 km2 or 32,433 sq mi), only about a quarter can be considered low lying, and only 32% of the country is
below 500 metres (1,640 ft). The Alps of western Austria give way somewhat into low lands and plains in the eastern part of the
country. The greater part of Austria lies in the cool/temperate climate zone, where humid westerly winds predominate. With nearly
three-quarters of the country dominated by the Alps, the alpine climate is predominant. In the east—in the Pannonian Plain and
along the Danube valley—the climate shows continental features with less rain than the alpine areas. Although Austria is cold in
the winter (−10 – 0 °C), summer temperatures can be relatively high, with average temperatures in the mid-20s and a highest
temperature of 40.5 °C (105 °F) in August 2013.
