Austria is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It borders both Germany and the Czech Republic to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The territory of Austria covers 83,872 square kilometers and is influenced by a temperate and alpine climate. Austria's terrain is highly mountainous due to the presence of the Alps. The majority of the population speaks German, which is also the country's official language. Vienna, the capital city, has long been especially an important centre of musical innovation. Eighteenth and nineteenth century composers were drawn to the city due to the patronage of the Habsburgs, and made Vienna the European capital of classical music. During the Baroque period, Slavic and Hungarian folk forms influenced Austrian music. Vienna's status began its rise as a cultural center in the early 1500s, and was focused around instruments including the lute. Ludwig van Beethoven spent the better part of his life in Vienna. Austria's current national anthem, attributed to Mozart, was chosen after World War II to replace the traditional Austrian anthem by Joseph Haydn. Austria has a mixed industrial and agricultural economy, while tourism is also an important source of income. Tourists have the option to rent a car at Graz airport or other larger airports in Austria. Skiing is one of the most popular sports in Austria and is famous throughout Austrian history. An Austrian citizen with no skiing ambitions cannot be considered a true Austrian. The skiing areas are very well organized, offering all sorts of transportation and many valleys are connected to one another. In cuisine, Austrian specialties such as Wiener schnitzel and Apfelstrudel have become international dishes which need no translation.
