The Austrian Rail is one of the most enjoyable and convenient ways to explore Austria. With the extensive rail network you can not only connect between big cities - it also gives you the opportunity to visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites in scenic rural locations like the "Semmering Railway", which was the first standard gauge mountain railway in Europe, inaugurated in 1854. Or the "Wachau" valley - an over 19 miles long landscape jewel, located about 50 miles west of Vienna along the blue Danube

With an area of 83.858 sq km Austria consists of 9 independent federal states (Burgenland, Carinthia, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Vienna) with their own provincial governments. The federal legislation is exercised by the national council (Nationalrat) together with the Upper House of Parliament (Bundesrat) – the two chambers of Parliament. Austria is a member of the European Union, the United Nations as well as most UN organizations
