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
