A Music Lover's Europe
For a totally different view of
Europe, Rudy shows smart travelers how to organize
a trip around a
theme. Rudy discovers surprising and fresh takes on Europe
as he sets
out on a music lovers tour. Winning, live performances by the Sicilian
folk band Diascouri, and by Groupo Emiliano, a zany,
classically-trained
quartet from Emilia Romagna, are the backbone of this
offbeat trip.
But performance is just the start. Rudy visits folkdance
groups in
Sweden and Norway and delights in the classics in Italy
and Austria.
And everywhere, the music provides a backdrop for
enthralling local scenery
and engaging local stories. more
Salzburg & the Lakes
District
In musical Salzburg, we focus on Austria's
easy approach to life. We visit the city's grand Cathedral, take a funicular up to Europe's greatest
medieval fort, and shop along fine baroque streets
reminiscent of Mozart's time. We visit the house where
the young Amadeus was born and where he composed his first masterpiece.
Investigating the sumptuous palaces of Salzburg's
prince-archbishops, we discover some "secret" passions. Then we relax in
Austria's woodsy "Sound of Music" land, the Salzkammergut
Lakes District. We soar high into the mountains to tour magical ice caves and then stroll little spa
towns where the Europe's crowned heads once "took to the baths".
TIP: Best bargain for seeing lots of sights in a short
amount of time. more
Vienna
Habsburg palaces, coffee houses, Strauss waltzes…all symbolic of
Vienna. Visiting elegant Schoenbrunn Palace, riding in
carriages, sampling luscious apple strudel, and listening to
Mozart concerts, we see that Austria's capital still lives
its elegant, proud past. We get a behind-the-scenes peek at how exquisite china is made at Augarten, Europe's second oldest
porcelain manufacturer. For a change from urban to countryside, we cruise
down the Danube past vineyards and castles, stop at the dazzling Melk Abbey, and we sample "new" wines - unique young varieties
special to this part of the world.
TIP: Where to experience
Vienna's hot new art scene. more
