          We all know that each country has its own popular tourist spots- places where every local resident could be very proud of in sharing to tourists and other visitors.

For Austria, the following are but some of its tourist spots:
"1. Melk Abbey- being considered as one of the most famous monasteries in the whole world. The impressive spiritual center has become one of the greatest examples of Baroque architecture.

2. Vienna State Opera- it is a stunning architectural structure in the middle of Austria's capital. 

3. Hofburg Imperial Palace- located in Vienna, it serves as the officla residnece of the President of Austria. From 1438 to 1583 and from 1612 to 1806, it was the seat  of the of the kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire." Sourcehttp://www.touropia.com/tourist-attractions-in-austria/  

The Faith In Austria:

          Among the 8 million population of Austria, what stand out as a predominant faith group is Catholicism. However due to the recent development of the world nowadays plus the other influences of the modern era, there is but a little percentage among these Catholics that religiously practice their faith.

          Signs of this diminishing pious faithful is the less number of people who attend the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Thus it becomes obvious then that being a catholic is merely a thing in the past.
