Welcome to TourMyCountry! This website was set up to supplement the many tourist information sites that you have probably found already: Established travel guides. hotel chains and local tourism councils spam prospective visitors of Austria with tons of information on how great the place is and why you should spend your money there.

TourMyCountry has adifferent approach. It was set up by an Austrian in an attempt to provide information of two kinds: Of the general travel information. telling you about the history. local traditions and different aspects of today s life in Austria, as well as direct sightseeing information on Austria s many attractions, from Tyrol in the West to Vienna in the East. This is done similarly to the way conventional guide books would do it.

The other aspect of this website makes it distinct: It offers first-hand, local advice from a real person - including fair criticism and a dash of irony. Many articles you will find here are subjective and don t even pretend to be neutral (unlike the material presented by the tourism mafia). You can evaluate how much they match your own interests by comparing them to information from other websites or guidebooks. The aim of TourMyCountry is to make visitors of Austria critical, to highlight original things about the country and go beyond the tackiness of the conventional image.
