Travelers begin the journey to Vienna through the scenic Wachau Valley, one of Austria’s most celebrated wine-growing regions. The route follows the Danube River as it winds past terraced vineyards, medieval fortifications, and historic towns, including Dürnstein, where Richard the Lionheart was once held captive. This stretch offers a compelling introduction to the landscapes and legends that define the valley.

Upon arrival in Vienna, the drive passes Schönbrunn Palace before continuing along the Ringstrasse, the grand boulevard built on the former city walls. From here, participants gain an overview of the capital’s most notable landmarks, including the Hofburg complex, the State Opera House, the Parliament building, the Museum of Art History, and the Town Hall. City parks and elegant avenues highlight Vienna’s blend of imperial heritage and modern culture.

Free time in the historic center allows for independent exploration. Guests may visit ^(on own) St. Stephen’s Cathedral, stroll the Kärntner Strasse, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere of Austria’s capital.
