Breakfast and departure for Vienna, passing through the Danube Valley. We'll show you the beauty of the Danube Valley through a romantic landscape steeped in history and legend. We'll take a short walk through Dürnstein, a medieval village famous because King Richard was imprisoned in its castle (now in ruins). Continue to Vienna: In the evening, you'll meet your fellow travelers at a traditional Austrian welcome dinner at the Marchfelderhof restaurant, renowned far beyond the country's borders. In this truly unique setting, you'll quickly feel as if Empress Sissi is sitting next to you at the table. Drinks are, of course, included.

Breakfast. After breakfast at the hotel, we will take a panoramic tour of the city, offering a great overview of Vienna's many sights. We will visit the gardens of the historic Belvedere Palace, the former summer palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Enjoy the magnificent view of the city, immortalized by the artist Giovanni Antonio Canal in his paintings of Vienna. We will continue along the Ringstrasse, with its magnificent buildings such as the State Opera, the Museum of Art History and Natural History, the Maria Theresa Monument, the Austrian Parliament, Vienna City Hall, the National Theatre, and the Hofburg Palace, the official residence of the President of Vienna. We will stroll through the charming, idyllic streets of Vienna's historic center and visit the interior of St. Stephen's Cathedral, the largest cathedral in the city. We will also pass by the Anchor Clock and the Jewish Quarter. The tour ends in the city center at Maria-Theresien-Platz.

In the afternoon, we offer the opportunity to attend a classical music concert (not included).

Breakfast at the hotel and an early departure because today we're visiting a true highlight. We'll head west and see one of Austria's most beautiful areas, the Salzkammergut, a region famous for its mountains and lakes. The village of Hallstatt, in particular, is so incredibly spectacular that even the Chinese have created a replica of the old salt mining village. But only in the original will you discover this truly unique culture, steeped in history, set against a breathtaking mountain backdrop. In the afternoon, the journey continues to Salzburg. Overnight stay.

Here, we'll also admire Holy Trinity Church. Crossing the Salzach River on our way to Hellbrunn Palace, we'll pass the courthouse. We'll make a brief stop here; this building, constructed at the beginning of the 17th century by court architect Santiago Solari, became popular as a weekend retreat for archbishops. Returning to the city center, we'll pass Frohnburg Palace and Nonnberg Abbey, the oldest nunnery in German-speaking countries, reaching the center through the Neutor Tunnel.

Breakfast and a city tour of Innsbruck. The capital of Tyrol, a Habsburg residence in the Middle Ages, also hosted the Winter Olympic Games twice. Our tour will take us through the Triumphal Arch to the Old Town with its medieval houses, including the famous Golden Roof, the Court Church (where the tomb of Emperor Maximilian I is located, surrounded by the famous giant black copper statues), and the Hofburg Palace. The city tour concludes at the Innsbruck Congress Palace, where a special experience awaits us. Today we head towards the Alps, or rather, the Nordkette mountain range. First, we'll take the funicular up to Hungerburg, 860 meters above sea level. The view is already breathtaking, but it gets even better. Immediately afterward, we'll take the cable car to Seegrube, our second stop at 1,905 meters above sea level. There, we'll acclimatize for the first time and enjoy a well-deserved lunch, which is included. Once we've regained our strength, we'll take another cable car up to Hafelekar, the summit, or as the locals say, the top of Innsbruck. At a breathtaking 2,256 meters above sea level, a stunning view awaits us from the lookout point. Innsbruck lies at our feet, and this moment must be captured in a photo. In the afternoon, we'll return to our hotel. If you still have energy in the evening, you can attend a traditional dance performance (optional).
