Vienna, once the magnificent heart of the affluent Habsburg Empire, has transformed over the last century into a city that celebrates its imperial heritage as a source of cultural inspiration and a reason to indulge in a lavish lifestyle. We’ll immerse ourselves in the city’s stunning gardens, world-class art, and exquisite music. Afterward, we’ll venture beyond the city limits, enjoying a picturesque journey along the enchanting Danube River and a scenic hike through the stunning Baroque architecture of Melk Abbey.
