Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Austria – Salzburg – Vienna
100% customisable for you
Rise and shine this morning as you prepare to embark on your six-day sojourn in Austria. Head to the airport, breeze through security and settle into the lounge for some complimentary nibbles before take-off. Flights to Salzburg take just two hours – ideal for a topical podcast on Mozart.
After landing, grab your bags and meet your private driver to transfer into the city centre. Check in for two nights at your charming hotel, then settle in and divvy up the sides of the bed.
This afternoon is yours to spend as you please. If you’re raring to go, hit the streets on a preliminary stroll. But if you’d rather squeeze in some downtime before the action kicks off tomorrow, simply enjoy the facilities at your hotel in the lead up to dinner tonight.
Wake up bright and early this morning to make the most of your first full day in Austria. After tucking into a delicious breakfast, step out to meet a local guide for a private tour of the city.
Start at the (deep breath) Cloister of the Capuchins of the Eternal Worship in Salzburg’s UNESCO-listed historic centre. Afterwards, visit the Red Bull Hangar-7, home to the Flying Bulls aircraft fleet and a collection of Formula 1 race cars. Then, stroll to the Holy Trinity Church to admire a Baroque beauty.
Salzburg is, of course, Mozart’s birthplace. So, don’t miss Getreidegasse 9 today – the prodigy’s childhood home, where you can snap some iconic shots to send to friends and family.
Having racked up steep step counts, slink back to your hotel to freshen up for tonight. It’s time to head to the oldest restaurant in Europe (tucked away inside St Peter’s Abbey) for dinner with an acoustic accompaniment. Talk about a feast for the senses.
Bid Salzburg a fond farewell this morning as you meet your private driver to transfer to the station and catch a train to Vienna. The journey takes two-and-a-half hours – dip into our destination-specific playlist to keep the tunes going along the way.
Once you pull into the station in Vienna, meet another private driver to be whisked off into the heart of the city. Check in for three nights in your next home away from home, then take a beat (sorry) to indulge in some unpacking and a spot of post-journey-stretching.
The afternoon is yours to scope out your suave new digs and acquaint yourself with this equally engrossing city. To kick off with a bang, contact our local Concierge for some stellar restaurant recommendations this evening.
Tuck into a tasty breakfast this morning before packing your day bags and heading out to meet an expert local guide. The name of the game today: discovering Austria’s female front-runners.
It would be borderline impossible to give an exhaustive list of these cultural icons, but some of the big hitters include fashion designer Emilia Floge, author and composer Alma Mahler, author and painter Rosa Mayreder, psychoanalyst Anna Freud, writer and journalist Berta Zuckerkandl and photographer Trude Fleischmann. A stacked cast, indeed.
Accompanied by your guide, trace the history of these women through the streets of Vienna. From their local haunts to their career-defining work, the legacies of these women live on in the city today.
Leap out of bed this morning to fuel up on a hearty breakfast and hit the streets for your last full day in Vienna – and Austria. Time to soak in as much of this spectacular city as possible.
Kick off at Belvedere Palace. Wielding skip-the-line tickets, breeze your way into this beautiful Baroque building, home to a collection of exquisite artworks – Klimt’s The Kiss, for instance. The other gems include works by Moderns, Kokoshka, Schiele, Kirchner, Munch, Monet, Renoir, Makart and many more.
Following some well-earned downtime this afternoon, head back out to spend your final night in style. Don your finery and set your sights on the Vienna State Opera. Built between 1861 and 1869, this world-class stage is a bucket-list visit for music lovers worldwide. Where better to end your sonic sojourn in Austria?
Sadly, like all great adventures (and musical pieces), your time in Austria comes to an end today. After one last delightfully decadent breakfast in one of Vienna’s characterful cafes, meet a private driver to transfer to the airport to embark on your return journey.
Flights back to the UK take just over two hours – the perfect chunk of time to sit back, relax and dial up the volume on some classical gems.
