Each of Austria's nine federal states has its own capital and they range from a pulsing world metropolis to a quiet little town of a few tens of thousands. They are home to the state governments, yet each also has its own history, its landmark and its sound. This pack leads to all nine: recognise the federal capital Vienna on the Danube and the young St Pölten in Lower Austria, the Danube industrial centre Linz and the second-largest city Graz with its World Heritage old town, alpine Innsbruck with the Golden Roof and Klagenfurt on Lake Wörthersee, the Mozart city of Salzburg and little Bregenz on Lake Constance, as well as Eisenstadt in Burgenland, where Joseph Haydn once worked: recognise each state capital by its landmarks and quirks and get to know Austria's cities from east to west. For knowing the state capitals gives you a thread through the whole country and along the way you discover how much history, music and way of life are packed into these often underrated cities that rarely make the tourist brochures.
