Our full day trip from Vienna shows you the must-see places in Austria in a comfortable and flexible manner.
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive to Austrian Alps, where you will find out the facts of the highlight of the Wachau Valley, the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of Melk.
As you continue your journey, you will experience the natural splendour of the Salzkammergut Lake District, a paradise of serene waters and stunning alpine scenery.
The next highlight of the trip is the unique village of Hallstatt, located right on the shores of an Alpine lake with an amazing view of the huge mountains rising steeply from a narrow valley.
The next highlight is the City of the Sound of Music - Salzburg, where you will have free time to stroll through the Old Town, Mirabel garden, Mozart's Birthplace and enjoy the world capital of classical music.
If you find yourself enchanted by this magnificent city, you can stay there longer and return to Vienna at your own expenses by train.

4.00This trip was pretty good, you got to see the spots you went to. It was quite rushed, not any time to pause and enjoy the surroundings much. Salzburg was extremely rushed, with the walking tour guide that met us there not pausing at all along the walk. Overall it was nice to see these three places, and understandable that there was not much time. It is a big day with many stops. If you are short on time with your trip, this is a good one to squeeze in a number of great spots.
We had fun
