Exploring
Austria.
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. “
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.
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.
