Known as the Queen of the Adriatic, Venice is the starting point of this special journey to another city of splendour - imperial Vienna. These two contrasting destinations each boast a fascinating history and a wealth of delights for the visitor.
Vienna is a city of imperial splendour, of art nouveau, of waltzes and coffee houses, magnificent buildings, classical music and fine art. It is filled with fine architecture and elegant buildings from the 700 years of the Hapsburg Empire. Medieval streets and squares contrast with grand boulevards and beautiful gardens.
A grand classical 'Ring' of 19th century palaces surrounds the medieval city, with its narrow streets, hospitable inns, cafés and shops. Why not take a walk or ride around the Ringstrasse boulevard to see these classical old buildings including the opera, parliament, fine arts museum, town hall and Burgtheater. At every corner you will discover another palace, church, statue or beautiful town house.
In Venice you can rediscover the pleasure of a city without cars, of stunning landmarks like St Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto Bridge, artistic masterpieces at the Accademia and Guggenheim galleries and of course fine cuisine and wine, with the warmest of Italian welcomes - Venetian style!
