Austria

  

Austria has been synonymous with the Hapsburgs, Europe's most influential and long-lasting dynasty. They retained power for 700 years (1218-1918). At the height of the Austria's glory, its great emperors controlled lands from Spain to Poland and from Holland to modern-day Romania. Many of the historical offerings and traditions are left over in Vienna when it was the seat of the Hapsburgs' powerful empire.
