Dispensing information for the entire country, the Austrian National Tourist Office is at Margaretenstrasse 1, A-1040 Vienna (tel. 0810/10181818). It cannot, however, make reservations for you. As you travel throughout the towns and villages of Austria, you'll see a sign emblazoned with a fat I (for information) in front of the local tourist office where you likely can obtain maps and might even get assistance in finding a hotel if you arrive without a reservation.
You might want to ask for the free English-language booklet Art and Architecture in Austria, which lists examples and photos of Austria's most renowned architectural sites.
