Nature, Music, And Cuisine
It's a little overwhelming how many fun things there are to do in Austria. It honestly depends on personal taste and preference as to what you decide to do. However, I recommend starting with a bike ride, both around the city and its outskirts. In fact, there is one particular bike trail that is the most popular in both Austria and Europe, and it takes you along the banks of the Danube River. Definitely do not miss a ride through the rolling countryside. Also be sure to try some hiking, as the country is very mountainous. It works out nicely: the places you can't bike ride, you can hike in. There are definitely tons of hiking trails, as well as places to lodge while you're hiking.
Music, to Austrians and their culture, is an inseparable part of life. As the home of Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, and Strauss, Austria takes great pride in the music and the musicians that hail from their country. You can hear some world class opera, classical music, and jazz music in cities like Salzburg and Vienna. Also be sure to note, however, that folk music is an integral part of Austrian culture and history, and there are many, many people playing their own music on the streets. There are also tons of music festivals - one for every taste - during the summer.
Food is yet another part of Austrian culture, and Austria is no stranger to delicious food. You might have heard of or even tasted Weiner Schnitzel before, but you should definitely try this famous Austrian dish in its homeland. Other famous Austrian dishes are Tafelsspitz and Knodel. Bread is actually a very large part of the Austrian diet, and the making - and perfection - of it ensures that it is some of the best in the world. Definitely try a few different types.
There are way too many fun things to do in Austria to only list a few. It really depends on what sort of stuff you are interested in, and then doing some research on how you can experience those things that you like. Just remember that you will need a passport to travel here. Go online to fill out you application and look into how you and your family can each get an expedited US passport.
