stop by/visit/ pay a visit

Can I use the verb stop by when talking about visiting another country? For example ''Since you're going to Italy, why don't stop by Austria as well?'' (implying that these two countries are next to each other so why not?). Can I use pay a visit in the same context? Does it have the same meaning?

  • "visit" can replace "stop in/by".
  • "pay a visit to" can also be used, though I hear it more often for paying a visit to a person.

Correct as shown. Also, Since ..., why not stop in Austria as well?

"visit" can replace "stop in/by". "pay a visit to" can also be used, though I hear it more often for paying a visit to a person.
