Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Vienna – Superb Habsburg Pleasures
You will be greeted at Vienna International Airport and transferred privately to your hotel next to Heldenplatz Square. It’s a very central location for diving into the city’s Habsburg history. Hofburg Palace provides a glorious introduction to an era’s glory, then the Staatsoper unveils a time of Mozart and more. Vienna’s cathedral is more Germanic Gothic in style, a nice contrast in eras and architecture, before you end a tour of highlights in a traditional Viennese cafe. The evening has been left free and you can continue to enjoy Habsburg pleasures on all the streets around your hotel.
