Austria, question by question

Switzerland is a wrong choice for Vienna and again for Austria's outline. Latvia, Poland and Hungary sit beside Austria in the flag round. For the outline, the other choices are Hungary, Switzerland and Slovenia. Hungary is on both lists.

Trivia asks: “Which capital on the Danube borders both Austria and Hungary?” The answer is Bratislava. It also asks: “Which is the highest mountain in Austria?” (Grossglockner). Historic Centre and Schönbrunn Palace, two of 23 Austria photos, are marked easy; Eisenstadt is marked hard.
