13 No country can outshine Austria when it comes to classical music. The country was
a production line of great composers in the 18th and 19th centuries. And there's always a
reason to celebrate that heritage, especially at the much-lauded Salzburg Festival ( Click

of Austria's cultural calendar. As well as concerts featuring illustrious composers such as
home-grown Mozart, make sure you catch an opera and a theatre performance or two.
