Day 1 :
Arrive Vienna - the city has a very convenient layout: The `old town`, or
city center, is the first district, with the Stephansdom and
Stephansplatz at the centre of a bull`s eye. It is encircled by the
Ringstrasse (Ring Road), a grand boulevard constructed along the old
city walls, which were torn down at the end of the 19th century. Along
the Ringstrasse are many famous and grand buildings, including the Rathaus, the Austrian Parliament, the Hofburg Palace, the Natural
History Museum, the Museum of Art History (Kunsthistorisches
Museum), and the State Opera House. Upon arrival you will be
transferred to your hotel. Later in the afternoon, proceed for the city
tour. See the most significant museums, monuments and buildings
along the Ringstrasse as well as gorgeous castles and typical Vienna
sights such as the “Heuriger” in Grinzing or the Vienna Prater and also
the world famous Schonbrunn palace. Overnight stay at the hotel. |
Day 2 :
This morning after breakfast, transfer on your own to the station to
board your train to Salzburg. Upon arrival in Salzburg, transfer to
your hotel on your own. Rest of the day will be at leisure. Salzburg is
the 4th largest city in Austria and the capital of the federal state of
Salzburg. Salzburg`s “Old Town” with its world famous baroque
architecture is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the
Alps, and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. The
city is noted for its Alpine setting. It is the birthplace of Mozart and
the setting for parts of the musical and film “Sound of Music”.
Salzburg is on the banks of the Salzach River, at the northern
boundary of the Alps. The mountains located in south of Salzburg
contrast with the rolling plains towards the north. The closest alpine
peak - the 1972m Untersberg - is only a few kilometers from the city
center. The Altstadt, or “old town”, is dominated by its baroque
towers and churches and the massive Festung Hohensalzburg. This
area is surrounded by two smaller mountains, the Monchsberg and
Kapuzinerberg as the green lung of the city. Overnight stay at the
hotel. |
Day 3 :
After breakfast at the hotel, you will be taken for a tour called
“Sound of Music Tour”. Relive the true story of the Von Trapp
family which was filmed as the `Sound of Music` in the Salzburg
area. The tour, which has been Salzburg`s most popular tour for
over 20 years, is a combination of sightseeing in this historical city
itself and in the beautiful lakes and mountain area known as the
Salzkammergut, which is also a famous musical and cultural
centre. The highlights and film locations of the `Sound of Music`,such as the beautiful gardens in Hellbrunn (where Liesl and Rolf
sang `I am 16 going on 17`), and the wedding church in Mondsee
are a treat for all fans of the film. Rest of the evening will be at
leisure. Overnight stay at the hotel. |

After breakfast, transfer to the station on your own to board your
train to Innsbruck. On arrival at Innsbruck proceed on your own to

one with nature and its mountain environment, it is Innsbruck, and
there are countless reasons for staying in the Tyrolean capital or one
of its 25 nearby Village Resorts. Innsbruck is the only major city in
the European Alps, and offers a combination of culture, history and
nature unequaled anywhere else. Timeless beauty in the mountains
- Innsbruck`s 25 Village Resorts blend in perfectly with the natural
environment. Overnight stay at the hotel. |
