Itinerary Details

Day 1: Arrive in Vienna

Transfer: Vienna Train Station to Vienna

Hotel: Hotel Kaiserhof Wien (4 Star Rating)

When the Best Western Premier Kaiserhof Wien was built in 1896 on the former "Glacis Grounds" it was ranked as one of the most modern viennese hotels of its day, offering such novel conveniences (for the time) as a guest elevator, central heating, electricity and water in all rooms. The hotel offers rich tradition, but also a quiet and central location close to the imperial heart of Vienna. The top quality service and loving attention to details lend the hotel a uniquely comfortable and relaxing ambience. The hotel is just a short walk away from numerous sights, such as the Vienna State Opera, the Hofburg, the magnificent Ringstrasse, Konzerthaus, and many more sightseeing places in Vienna.

Day 2: Half Day Historical City Tour with Schonbrunn Palace Morning

The sightseeing tour starts at the Operngasse 8 and takes you to the Ringstrasse boulevard, where you pass many popular tourist attractions. First, take a look at the impressive Vienna State Opera. It is home of the famous "Opera Ball" which takes place every year. Not far from the Opera, the grand Hofburg Palace is located, the former winter residence of the imperial family. Next you will see the monumental buildings of the Museum of Art History and the Museum of Natural History. Further sights on our tour are the neoclassical Parliament, the acclaimed Burgtheater and the striking City Hall. On arrival at Schönbrunn Palace the guided tour starts at once, no need to wait for Austria's most popular tourist attraction. The former imperial summer residence is a listed World Heritage Site and attracts millions of people from all over the world every year. We visit the historic state-rooms and see how the imperial family once lived. You will also have time to take a stroll through the palace gardens or enjoy a cup of original Viennese coffee and a piece of delicious apple strudel. The city tour ends at the Vienna State Opera.

Day 3: Full Day Salzburg - Mozart Festival Town and Sound of Music Tour

Relax on our comfortable bus while we drive to Salzburg. On the journey you will get the first impression of the beauty of the Salzkammergut countryside with its clear lakes and majestic mountains.

"The Sound of Music" fans will recognize the landscape from the opening scenes of the film.

On a guided walk through the historical centre of Salzburg, you see the most popular tourist attractions. One of the famous scenes of "The Sound of Music" was filmed in the gardens of the Mirabell Palace. It was here that Maria sang, together with the children, the song “Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So” at the fountain and on the steps. Aswell you will see the horse pond and the riding school where Baron Trapp sang the “Edelweis song” as a farewell. A real highlight of our city trip to Salzburg is the Getreidegasse, the street where the birthplace of Mozart is located. This narrow street still reminds us of the 18th century. Other tourist attractions on the sightseeing tour: University Church, St. Peter’s Abbey, the Salzburg Cathedral and the Festival Hall.

You have some time at your disposal to explore the city, eat lunch or shop for souvenirs until our departure at 4 p.m. Estimated arrival time in Vienna is around 8:00 p.m.
