The world's most giving and kind countries
Austria
Like Denmark, Austria’s rankings in helping strangers and volunteering time are slightly lower (mid 30s) but it ranks 16th in donating money. Austria is a German-speaking country in Central Europe, characterized by mountain villages, baroque architecture, Imperial history and rugged Alpine terrain. Vienna, its Danube River capital, is home to the Schönbrunn and Hofburg palaces. It has counted Mozart, Strauss and Freud among its residents. The country’s other notable regions include the northern Bohemian Forest, Traunsee Lake and eastern hillside vineyards.
