Inside Austria
The central European country is a business and cultural hub that is becoming attractive to more people for its ease of access and lower cost of living than some of its premier peers.
The country’s capital, Vienna, is an exceptionally safe, clean city, and its compact footprint makes it easy to walk into its historic centre from several residential districts.
Vienna lies in the east of the country, with the River Danube flowing through its centre, and is one of the top 10 greenest cities in Europe, thanks in part to areas such as the Lainzer Tiergarten park and gardens.
Lifestyle
Austria has been ranked as the fourth safest country in the world in the Global Peace Index, and readily attracts an expat population thanks to its relaxed café culture, amazing scenery and captivating cities.
Vienna has an abundance of famous art and architecture for a city of its size and specialises in luxury, with high-end hotels, boutiques and restaurants comfortably at home in the historic city.
Those who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle will appreciate Vienna’s green spaces, with larger expanses on the edge of the city and destinations on the edge of the Alps, such as Semmering, Rax and Schneeberg roughly 100 kilometres away.
For those relocating to Austria, the country has an exceptional healthcare and education system, with four of its universities ranked in the top 250 globally.
Accessibility
Vienna International Airport is just 20 minutes from the city centre and serves more than 200 destinations in 68 countries.
Austria has an exceptional rail network which connects its main cities to each other as well as to prime destinations in Europe. Its high-speed Railjet trains are considered among the most modern and luxurious in Europe, with journeys from Vienna to Budapest, in Hungary, taking just 2 hours 30 minutes.
