Overview

This full-day bus trip from Vienna covers several key destinations in Austria over about 13 hours. The tour begins with a drive along the highway through Lower Austria where the guide shares facts about Austria's people and customs. The first major stop is Melk Abbey, a Baroque church overlooking the Danube and the Wachau Valley's vineyards. Next, the route passes through Upper Austria's Salzkammergut region, known for its lakes and alpine landscapes. The tour pauses in Hallstatt for about two hours, where travelers can walk the narrow streets of this lakeside village surrounded by high mountains and enjoy views of the lake's blue waters. After Hallstatt, the group heads to Salzburg, arriving after about an hour's drive. Visitors have two hours of free time to explore Salzburg's Old Town, including Mirabel Garden, Mozart's birthplace, Salzburg Cathedral, and St. Peter's Monastery. Travelers may also choose to leave the tour here and return to Vienna independently by train. The trip includes a short coffee break at a highway restaurant for about 20 minutes. The return trip to Vienna includes a rest stop and time to plan further activities with the driver’s assistance. The total driving distance is about 660 kilometers, and the tour includes a guide and air-conditioned transport.
