Arrival & First Impressions
Your Vienna story begins with a private transfer to your luxury hotel in the heart of the city. After settling in, enjoy a welcome dinner featuring Viennese classics at a restaurant favored by locals. Take an evening stroll through the atmospheric streets of the Old Town, where the ghosts of Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss still seem to linger in the lamplight.
Behind the Curtain at the State Opera
Step into the hallowed halls of the Vienna State Opera for an exclusive backstage tour — few visitors ever see the rehearsal rooms, costume workshops, and underground stages that make the magic possible. Spend the afternoon exploring imperial Vienna with your expert guide, pausing for coffee and sachertorte at a historic coffeehouse. Tonight: your first opera performance from premium seats.
Imperial Splendor & Chamber Music
Begin with early morning access to Schönbrunn Palace, when the gardens are quiet and golden light filters through the baroque rooms. Visit the Theatermuseum to discover Vienna's operatic heritage through rare manuscripts and costumes. This evening, experience the acoustical perfection of the Musikverein for an intimate chamber concert.
Composers' Vienna & Second Opera Night
Walk in the footsteps of the masters on a private tour of Vienna's musical landmarks — from Beethoven's final apartment to the house where Brahms composed his symphonies. The afternoon is yours to explore galleries, shop for antiques, or simply relax. Tonight brings your second major opera performance, perhaps at the historic Theater an der Wien.
Mozart's Salzburg
Journey through Austria's countryside to Salzburg, where Mozart was born and where 'The Sound of Music' was filmed. Your guide will show you the composer's birthplace, the cathedral where he was baptized, and the cobblestone squares where he first performed. Spend the evening exploring this UNESCO World Heritage city at your own pace.
Return & Gala Finale
After a leisurely Salzburg morning, return to Vienna for an afternoon at leisure — perhaps visiting the Belvedere to see Klimt's 'The Kiss' or browsing the Naschmarkt. Your week culminates with a farewell gala dinner and your final opera performance, carefully selected from Vienna's finest seasonal offerings.
Farewell to Vienna
Savor a final Viennese breakfast before your private transfer to the airport. If time allows, take one last stroll down the elegant Kärntnerstrasse or pick up final souvenirs from Demel, the imperial confectioner.
