Austria
Exploring
Austria is a fantastic place for teachers to travel
within and from. To quote the Lonely Planet
Guide: “Vienna’s jewel-box palaces and Mozart
melodies, sparkling Alps and problems like Maria
naturally still have their place in Austria’s heart. “
But venture further for experiences that defy
expectations: from slinging on a backpack,
to stride through the Tennengebirge’s lunar
landscape, to bathing in Salzkammergut’s tingly
lakes. Visit historic spa towns like Bad Ischl or
discover cities such as Linz, where a newfound
street credibility is adding a twist to Austria’s
tale.
Vienna’s enchanting Habsburg palaces and
Salzburg’s baroque splendour are worthy,
but dig deeper and you’ll unearth Stone Age
settlements, Roman archaeological sites at
Carnuntum and medieval festivals.
“ In the country where Mozart composed
and Strauss taught the world to twirl, you
won’t need to search hard for culture – it
waltzes right up to you.”
So cast aside the well-thumbed picture-book, as
the real story is even more enchanting… Austria
flaunts its heritage in exuberant fashion.

Accommodation
A small 75m2 apartment with 1 bedroom,
living/dining room, small kitchen, bathroom and
balcony in a modern block costs from
€ 1.100 - € 1.300/month unfurnished.
If you need more space you can rent multiple
bedroom apartments or even complete houses
for reasonable prices. Unfurnished means no
light fittings, no curtains or blinds, and can
mean no kitchen.
Many teachers choose to live in the city in
apartments, prices vary depending on location.
Other teachers (usually those with families)
choose to rent houses nearer to school. We also
have key personnel and relocation staff who
work with new staff to identify accommodation
for new teachers.
