Our tour begins with a welcome dinner at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna followed by time to view the museum’s extensive art collection.

Highlights of the Vienna tour include the Botanical Garden and Library, where you’ll view rare books and botanical copper plates; the magnificent Belvedere Palace and Gardens; and the iconic St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Enjoy a concert by the Vienna Boys’ Choir, tour the opulent Schönbrunn Palace, and witness a practice session of the world-famous Lipizzaner stallions. You’ll also explore treasures such as rare volumes in the Austrian National Library, works by Albrecht Dürer at the Albertina, and exquisite drawings by the Bauer brothers at the Natural History Museum. And of course, no visit to Vienna would be complete without time to linger in its charming coffee houses and savor authentic Austrian cuisine in historic restaurants.

Please see the BROCHURE with full details.
