When you visit this pretty city on the Danube on this
Platinum DreamTrip, you’re immediately struck by gorgeous architecture that reflects the city’s roots in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. But this cultural hub also reveals a fresh sensibility, evident in Modernist buildings, eclectic art and a sophisticated food-and-wine scene.
Start your adventure in a region that’s designed a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Wachau Cultural Landscape (commonly referred to as “Wachau Valley”). This area is packed with natural and cultural sights including imposing monasteries, castle ruins, quaint towns, verdant vineyards and more. At Durnstein, learn about the saga of King Richard the Lionheart, while at Spitz, you can explore this medieval market town with a church and main square. You’ll end the day at Sandgrube where you’ll have a wine-tasting experience.
The following day you’ll get acquainted with the city on your bus tour around the Ringstrasse (Vienna Ring Road). See the city’s famous landmarks — including Vienna State Opera, the Museum of Fine Arts, Austrian Parliament Building and more. Your final stop is 13th-century Hofburg imperial palace, home to Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments and Silver Collection.
What we love:• In Wachau, you’ll visit Baroque-style Melk Abbey, built in 1089 and overlooking the Danube River.
• The Historic Centre of Vienna was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001 thanks to its cultural value — it’s a leading music city, and home to significant Medieval and Baroque structures.
• St. Peter’s Church was rebuilt as the result of a vow made by Emperor Charles VI to fix the damage made by the 1679-1680 plague.
• Your hotel is within walking distance of plentiful sightseeing stops, including the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Belvedere and the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna.
