Day Trip From Prague To Vienna

Don't miss this special opportunity to visit Vienna, a city that was once the imperial and cultural center of Europe as well as the seat of the Habsburg Empire in the 18th century. Travel through the picturesque landscape of Bohemia and Moravia, towards the southern border of the Czech Republic. Approximately 3 1/2 hours later, we will arrive in Vienna, a cultural and architectural masterpiece divided by Europes largest river, the Danube. Our mini-bus will travel the famous Ringstrasse, a grand boulevard built in the 1880s by Emperor Franz Joseph I on the site of demolished city walls. Along the way, you will see splendid, majestic buildings including palaces, museums, hotels, and parks with statues of important historic people. Next, we travel to Vienna's southern edge, where you can view Schonbrunn (the former summer residence of the imperial family) and its beautiful reservoir. After the tour of the gardens and the Schnbrunn Castle (own expense), we will return by minibus to the city center for a walking tour through Hofburg (own expense), the Habsburgs winter residence. We will then make our way to Saint Stephens Cathedral. After the guided tour, enjoy free time for lunch or shopping on your own. At the end of this free time, we will meet in front of Saint Stephens Cathedral to board the mini-bus for the return trip to Prague.
