Vienna 4 days

Arrival,

transfer and check-in at our hotel.

In your free time, walk to the Town Hall and enjoy the city market which is an

institution for Viennese and all visitors. The

Graben

shops will pique your interest and tempt you to shop.

This is where the waltz was born and its intoxicating melody will be the backdrop to

our morning tour of the city that retains the grandeur and nobility of its

great past.

Squares and streets, palaces and monuments, buildings and museums preserved

with respect, tie into a whole full of harmony. We will enjoy everything.

We will come to the palace and garden of Sembrun, former summer residence of

the imperial family. The work was completed in the 18th century, when Maria

Theresa hired N. Pakassi.

We will continue crossing the imposing Ringstrasse, the grand boulevard built

on the orders of Francis Joseph, to admire the Austrian Parliament, which has

an austere neoclassical style, the Gothic Town Hall, seat of the City of Vienna

and the local government. The University founded in 1365, the House of Music,

the Royal Theater and the majestic building of the Vienna State Opera, which

opened in 1869 to the sounds of Mozart's Don Giovanni.

We cross Maria Theresa Square, which separates the Art History Museum from the

Natural History Museum with the statue of Maria Theresa from 1884, which clings

tightly to the 1713 sanction that allowed a woman to take the throne, to pass

the Hofburg Winter Palaces and end up at St. Stephen's Cathedral, located in

the center of the city and featuring masterpieces of Gothic sculpture.

Return to the hotel.

Forest. At the Mayerling site, we will see the former hunting lodge of the
