1 Vienna
Guten Tag! Welcome to Vienna. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 10 am this morning. After, set off on an orientation walk through the city’s compact centre. Stop at the Gothic-style St Stephens Cathedral, wander past the grand neo-classical Graben and on to the Hofburg Palace. Then, visit Vollpension, where you’ll be can buy some sweet eats just like your grandma made. This cafe aims to bridge the generation gap and bring people together through food, by employing baking masters who happen to be grandmas and grandpas. Then, finish your walk at the State Opera House. After, visit the Hundertwasserhaus, which forms a mosaic of shapes, colours and pillars typically associated with the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Recognised for its creative and sustainable gardens, be sure to have your camera ready to capture the beauty of this landmark. Later, join your group for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant and indulge in some authentic Austrian flavours.
2 Vienna
Start your day with pastries and coffee on a coffee and market tour. Get a thorough introduction to Vienna’s food and drink scene with a local showing you the best places to stop for both sweet and savoury delights. Then, stroll through a local market in the Grätzls neighbourhood and discover historic gems and local hot spots. Treat your taste buds to a traditional Viennese coffee at some of your leader's favourite places, then the rest of the day is free for you to explore at your own pace – maybe visit St Stephen’s Cathedral or take a spin on the famous Prater Ferris Wheel nearby for a bird’s eye view of the city.

When you arrive, visit the Durnstein Monastery and the ruins of Durnstein Castle. Spend some time exploring the historic site, then make your way back into town. Here perhaps opt to sample some of the region’s local wines at one of the nearby Heuriger wine bars. This afternoon, return to Krems, where you'll have a couple of hours to explore before heading back to Vienna. Tonight, maybe head out for one last dinner with your group and celebrate a trip well-travelled!
