, Romania

17 Day tour from Vienna to Vienna covering some parts of Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic and Austria

Introduction

This tour embraces the northern heartland of the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and the major attraction will be the great imperial city of Vienna. The glory and splendor of empire is evident everywhere, not least in great Ringstrasse, the broad boulevard built on the site of the inner city walls as well as the great Baroque palaces of Schőnbrunn, the Habsburg’s summer residence and magnificent Belvedere, built for Prince Eugene of Savoy. At the other end we find Krakow, architecturally one of richest cities in Central Europe. Cracow possesses a well-preserved medieval town layout and numerous fine buildings of all periods, especially Gothic and Renaissance. The market place is the largest-and one of the most beautiful-medieval town squares in Europe.

The itinerary leads you  through the heart of Budapest, Transylvania, Bukovina,  New Galicia, Bohemia, Moravia and Niederősterreich ending in the heart of Vienna and displaying a large collection of well preserved small towns, fortified churches, beautiful medieval cities, castles and palaces brought together in an unique combination!

Whatever his or her main interests, the discerning visitor will find great beauty and charm in this fascinating heart of Central Europe, where the sunny landscapes, fine cooking and delicious wines complement the artistic and architectural treasures of the region.
