Getting a general idea of Vienna incl. ferris wheel ride

CANCELLED

To provide you with a first impression of the city, we start our tour at Ringstrasse. This boulevard with an approximate length of 4 km was created in the course of the city’s first expansion in the middle of the 19th century on the area of the former Glacis. We will see buildings like the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Natural History, the City Hall, the Burgtheater, the Parliament, the University, and many more. The highlight of our tour is a ride in the world famous ferris wheel.
 

In Vienna "Heuriger" is the name for the wine harvested in the previous year and also for the inns where it is sold. "Gemma zum Heurig'n" ("Let's go to the Heurigen!") is an invitation to a casual get-together in the afternoon or evening, with wine providing a convivial spirit. The typical wine production locations are situated within the city limit, but in most cases have the character of charming villages.

We arrange a typical evening in selected Heurigen inns in Vienna for you (e.g. in Neustift, Heiligenstadt, Grinzing).

Spend a few hours with great company, wine and hearty food.

A half-day excursion which shows you the most beautiful sights of the southern part of the Vienna Woods. Passing the Roman City of Baden which is famous for its thermal springs, we drive through the romantic valley Helenental to the former Mayerling hunting lodge, (visit of memorial chapel), where Crown Prince Rudolph together with Baronesse Vetsera died tragically in 1889. In the Cistercian Abbey of Heiligenkreuz (1133) you visit the medieval cloister which houses the remains of the last Babenberger.  We then pass the Höldrichsmühle and arrive at the Seegrotte. After a boat ride on the largest subterranean lake in  Europe you leave the Vienna Woods and return to Vienna. As a great addition to this tour, we recommend the new musical "Rudolf-Affaire Mayerling" at Raimund Theater
