Austria by Scenic Rail Tour

Join us on a newly designed small group tour to Austria by scenic rail. This unforgettable journey takes you through some of the country’s most enchanting destinations—Vienna, Salzburg, Hallstatt, and Innsbruck—each offering its own unique charm.

In Vienna, discover elegant palaces, manicured gardens, and world-class art. Visit the Spanish Riding School, the famed Vienna Opera House, and admire Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece, The Kiss.

Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for The Sound of Music, enchants visitors with its baroque architecture, alpine scenery, and rich musical heritage.

On a day trip, experience Hallstatt, one of the most breathtaking Alpine villages in Europe. Its lakeside beauty and mountain backdrop make it a highlight of the journey.

Finally, explore Innsbruck, nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps. Twice the host of the Winter Olympics, it is the cultural center of Tyrol, where snow-capped mountains meet old-world charm.
