For centuries, Vienna was the heart of the Habsburg Empire, one of Europe’s most powerful dynasties. Emperors and empresses lived here, while Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, artists, architects, and intellectuals helped transform the city into one of Europe’s great cultural capitals.
We’ll discover the monumental Ringstrasse, lined with some of Vienna’s most impressive buildings, before entering the historic heart of the city. Here, St. Stephen’s Cathedral rises above elegant streets and hidden courtyards leading toward the vast Hofburg Imperial Palace.
