Itinerary
Meet your guide at your Vienna hotel

Drive through Lower and Upper Austria
The driver-guide provides live commentary, sharing information about the history of the scenic landscapes you pass through in Lower and Upper Austria. Enjoy views of rolling hills and distant Alpine peaks during the comfortable transfer.
Pause in the cinematic Salzkammergut Lake Region
You will arrive in the renowned Salzkammergut, the pristine Lake Region immortalized in the film The Sound of Music. Pause to explore the wonders of the area and take scenic photographs, enjoying the fresh air and dramatic lakeside views.
Stop at Unterach am Attersee, the 'Klimt village'
The first lakeside stop is the charming village of Unterach am Attersee, famous for its association with the artist Gustav Klimt. Take a moment to embrace the beautiful lakeside scenery before continuing the drive through the district.
Explore St. Gilgen, the village with Mozart ties
Next, you will explore St. Gilgen, a village nestled on the shores of Lake Wolfgang. Stroll the historic main square to see the birth house of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s mother and admire the quaint buildings before the final drive to Hallstatt.
Guided walking tour in Hallstatt
Upon arrival in Hallstatt, a village framed by a serene lake and Alpine mountains, you will meet a local guide. Begin a guided walking tour, revealing the town's most notable landmarks, including its historic architecture and winding, narrow streets.
Enjoy free time for self-guided exploration
After the sightseeing tour, you will have ample free time to uncover Hallstatt’s "hidden gems" at your leisure. You can wander the streets, relax at a cozy café overlooking the water, or explore the village further before the return transfer.
Your tour finishes with transport back to Vienna
You will meet the minivan for your stress-free return transfer, where you can unwind and relax after a long day of sightseeing. Your twelve-hour journey concludes with a convenient drop-off directly at your hotel or private accommodation in Vienna.
