The verdict

For most travellers, the choice comes down to what kind of week you're really after. Austria leans cultural + city, while Canada leans nature + mountain. Austria wins on value (~$160/day mid-range vs $170/day in Canada), but Canada tends to deliver a more polished, higher-spend experience. Neither is wrong — pick by personality, not by ranking.
