Activity itinerary

Historic Center of Vienna
  • 1h
Get ready for pickup at 10:00 AM and settle into your luxury tour vehicle. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic drive along the Danube River Valley into the stunning UNESCO-listed Wachau region.
Durnstein
  • 1h
Dürnstein is a picturesque Austrian town nestled in the heart of the Wachau Valley. Stroll through its charming streets and uncover the legend of Robin Hood’s era—this is where King Richard the Lionheart was held captive in 1192 after his capture near Vienna, just before Christmas.
Melk Abbey
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Melk Abbey is one of the biggest and most beautiful European Baroque ensembles. Its splendid architecture is famous worldwide and part of UNESCO’s world cultural heritage. The Baroque building situated on a rock overlooking the Danube, in the Wachau region, ranks as one of Austria’s most visited art-historical sites.
Seewalchen am Attersee
  • 2h
Next, travel comfortably via highway from Melk to the Salzburg Lake District—a direct route that allows us to maximize your time in this beautiful region.
Lake Attersee
  • 30m
The tour continues with a scenic drive along the full length of Lake Attersee—from Seewalchen to the charming lakeside village of Unterach. Once nicknamed "Little Venice" in the 19th century, Unterach lies at the southern tip of the lake. World-renowned artist Gustav Klimt spent his summers here between 1900 and 1916, capturing the region’s beauty in many of his famous landscape paintings.
Basilika St. Michael
  • 20m
Next is the quaint and charming village of Mondsee. The village is home to the Sound of Music Wedding Church, where the wedding scene of the world famous movie Sound of Music was filmed.
Salzburger Altstadt (Pass by)
After eight hours exploring one of Austria’s best Sightseeing Routes, your private tour will conclude with drop-off at your Salzburg City hotel or optional at the train station: it is a ride of 2h20min back to Vienna, 2 trains every hour.
