Activity itinerary

Schloss Artstetten
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Our first stop is Schloss Artstetten, more than just a castle, it's a key to the past. HThis enchanting castle is not just an architectural marvel but also a deeply personal monument, famously connected to Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Schloss Artstetten, nestled in Austria's picturesque countryside, stands as a testament to history and heritage. Its halls and exhibits offer a unique glimpse into the life and legacy of the figure whose assassination sparked World War I. But don't worry, we keep it light and engaging, focusing on the human side of history that touches the heart.
Schallaburg
  • 3h
Then, we'll wander through the enchanting halls of Schallaburg Castle, where every stone and corner has a tale to tell. It's not just about the past; it's about feeling the whispers of history in a place where every room has a storey waiting to be heard. Schallaburg Castle captivates with its stunning Renaissance architecture and beautifully manicured gardens, embodying a period of cultural flourishing. Each room and passageway tells a storey, inviting visitors to step into a world where history and artistry merge. The castle's rich tapestry of history, from its role in shaping regional narratives to its status as a cultural beacon, is vividly brought to life. Here, the Renaissance spirit is not just observed but felt, making Schallaburg an integral, immersive highlight of our journey through Austria's past.
Melk Abbey
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Our adventure peaks at the stunning Melk Abbey, a beacon of beauty on the Danube. This isn't your typical historic tour; it's about connecting with the spirit of a place that has inspired countless souls through the ages. Melk Abbey, a baroque masterpiece perched above the serene Danube River, is a highlight of our tour. This majestic abbey is not just a monument of religious significance; it's a cultural treasure trove, with its opulent architecture, breathtaking frescoes, and an ancient library filled with medieval manuscripts. As we explore its grand halls and tranquil gardens, the abbey's storied history and its role in education and art over the centuries come alive. Melk Abbey stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of human creativity and devotion, offering an inspiring and reflective experience on our journey through Austria's rich heritage.
