Full description

Our full day trip from Vienna shows you the must-see places in Austria in a comfortable and flexible manner. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive to Austrian Alps.
First we bring you to the highlight of the picturesque Wachau Valley, the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of Melk, an impressive monastery on the Danube River. As you continue your journey, you will experience the natural splendour of the Salzkammergut Lake District, a paradise of serene waters and stunning alpine scenery.
The next highlight is the enchanting village of Hallstatt, where time seems to stand still. Nestled on the shores of a sparkling Alpine lake and surrounded by towering mountains, this picturesque town looks like it’s been plucked straight from a fairytale. Its charming, traditional architecture and peaceful atmosphere will make you fall head over heels for this little gem.
Your adventure continues with a visit to Salzburg, the City of the Sound of Music. Here, you’ll have the freedom to stroll through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, retracing the steps of the beloved film’s iconic scenes. And as the birthplace of classical music, Salzburg offers a rich cultural experience that will captivate music lovers and history buffs alike. If you find yourself enchanted by this magnificent city, you can stay there longer and return to Vienna at your own expenses by train.
This is not just a trip - it’s a journey through Austria’s most breathtaking landscapes, historic landmarks, and timeless beauty. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to fall in love with Austria!
