Summary
Embark on an Alpine adventure, with a multi centre holiday in fairytale Austria. If you’re travelling through Europe, Austria’s central location makes it an ideal stopover on your Grand Tour. But there’s plenty that makes Austria a destination in its own right. Home of Mozart and The Sound of Music, the pretty city of Salzburg is a must-see, while Vienna’s ornate Baroque palaces and rich Sachertorte cake are opulent treats fit for royalty. Outside the city, head to the stunning Tyrol mountains for a winter skiing break, or soak up the scenery at one of Austria’s picturesque, crystal-clear lake resorts.

Description
If you’d like to see more of Vienna from a unique vantage point, we recommend a ride on the Wiener Riesenrad Ferris wheel in the Prater amusement park. The wheel dates back to the late 19th century and gives a magical glimpse of the city from on high. And if you enjoy having a browse in markets, the Naschmarkt has in excess of 100 stalls to explore – many of which serve local food.
Imposing cathedrals, peaceful gardens and canal walks are just some of the other things to see and do in this graceful and gorgeous Austrian city.
Vienna & Budapest
Our Vienna and Budapest twin city break whisks you by train from Austria into Hungary, where again you’ll be met by the River Danube in this splendid capital city. Budapest is an architectural dream with a number of influences including Baroque and Gothic. Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament building and Fisherman’s Bastion are just three of the finest examples of their kind but on almost every street, you’ll see something that catches your eye.
As the spa capital of Europe, Budapest has a whole host of thermal baths for you to unwind in and transport yourself to a dream-like dimension before or after a busy day sightseeing.
