Activity itinerary

Prague

The day begins with a private pick-up from your hotel in Prague. Your driver will be waiting for you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, ready for the long but scenic journey ahead. A light breakfast can be provided if requested in advance, along with refreshing bottled water and snacks. The drive from Prague to Vienna typically takes around 3 hours, but the comfort of a private vehicle means you can stop along the way as desired for brief breaks, photography, or a quick stretch.

Vienna

Your private driver will smoothly navigate you into the heart of Vienna. As you approach the city, you’ll get a glimpse of Vienna’s elegant architecture, with baroque palaces, grand museums, and tree-lined boulevards. You’ll be dropped off at a convenient location near St. Stephen's Cathedral, the starting point of your walking tour, where your private guide will be waiting for you. Your guide will greet you at St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom), where you will begin a captivating 3-hour walking tour through Vienna’s historical core. As you stroll through the cobblestone streets, your guide will take you back in time, recounting fascinating stories about Vienna’s royal past, artistic legacy, and cultural contributions to the world.

St. Stephen's Cathedral

Begin your tour at the magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna's most iconic religious building. This gothic masterpiece, completed in the 12th century, stands proudly in the city centre. Your guide will delve into the cathedral's history, pointing out intricate details such as the roof's colourful tile work and the towering spire. The cathedral is also a centre of spiritual life, and your guide will share stories about the ceremonies, coronations, and important events that have occurred within its walls. If you're feeling adventurous, there’s an optional opportunity to climb the South Tower for panoramic views of Vienna’s cityscape.

Graben and Kohlmarkt

Next, you’ll wander along the Graben, one of Vienna's most famous streets, known for its historical significance and architectural beauty. This area has been a major commercial hub for centuries, lined with grand boutiques, cafes, and luxury shops. Your guide will explain the role these streets played in shaping Vienna’s identity as a city of culture and commerce, with stories of imperial life, merchant prosperity, and artistic patrons. You’ll also pass by the Pestsäule (Plague Column), a stunning baroque monument erected in gratitude for the end of the plague.

Hofburg

As you continue, you’ll arrive at the Hofburg Palace, the former imperial palace and the seat of the Habsburg dynasty for over 600 years. Your guide will take you through the outer courtyards and gardens, sharing the storey of the Habsburgs’ political and cultural dominance in Europe. At Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square), you’ll see monumental statues and grand facades, including the famous Equestrian Statue of Prince Eugene of Savoy, a legendary military commander. The square is also the site of many significant historical events, including the declaration of the Anschluss in 1938.

Vienna State Opera

Conclude your walking tour near the Vienna State Opera, a neo-Renaissance marvel and one of the most important opera houses in the world. Your guide will share stories of Vienna’s musical heritage, highlighting the works of composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss. Learn about the opulent performances that take place here, and if you’re interested, your guide can suggest ways to enjoy the opera during your future visits to the city.

Vienna

After your walking tour, you’ll stop for lunch. With the bulk of your tour completed, you now have an hour of free time to explore Vienna at your leisure. Head to one of Vienna’s upscale shopping districts for some last-minute souvenir hunting. You’ll find fine Austrian crystal, hand-crafted jewellery, and, of course, the famous Austrian chocolates to bring home.

Prague

After your free time, your private driver will pick you up for the journey back to Prague. The drive offers another chance to enjoy the scenic views of the Austrian countryside, passing through charming towns and villages. If you wish, you can stop at a roadside café or take a scenic break. You will arrive back in Prague by evening, with plenty of time to relax before your evening activities. The drive will end at your hotel or a location of your choice in the city centre.
