Österreichischer Nationalfeiertag
Today is National Day in Austria! The State Treaty of 1955, which ended Austria's occupation and restored the country's sovereignty, was signed in May of that year. However, October 26 is the day that commemorates when the Soviet Union and Western troops left the country, and a constitutional law of permanent neutrality was enacted. The Parliament building and all national museums are open and free to the public today!
