Journey to the most "imperial" capital of Europe...
The capital of Austria rightly holds its title as even when you travel and find yourself in the historic center of the city it is like going back in time to an imperial city. From the first moment you will be impressed by the rich atmosphere of the city with carriages moving in the center, majestic palaces, Viennese cafes and green parks.
To see the city, you will need 3 days to see most of the sights, to enjoy walks in the shopping streets and if it is a holiday, to have a good time among the Christmas markets.
If you have more time, there are one-day trips to Budapest - Prague or its neighbor Bratislava. To see the tours in detail and to make a reservation for free, click below:
Also unique is the one-day excursion to the enchanting Hallstatt and the wonderful Alpine peaks where the village by the lake looks like it has come out of a fairy tale. It is definitely one of the tours we recommend if you think you will be late to go to Austria again!! For details and reservations click here.
