9-day Package From Vienna to Warsaw

After your arrival at Vienna-Schwechat Airport, one of our vehicles will be waiting to transport you to your hotel.

Vienna is the capital of Austria and also one of the largest cities in the country. It is renowned for its rich history, impressive architecture, and cultural significance.

Its history dates back to Roman times, but Vienna reached its zenith during the Habsburg dynasty. For centuries, Vienna was the seat of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As a result, the city is filled with historic monuments, palaces, and museums.

The rest of the day will be free for you to relax and start enjoying this magnificent city.

In the evening, we will have a welcome dinner at the hotel.

Tip Greca: Vienna has a rich musical tradition and has been home to many famous composers, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johann Strauss.

After a scrumptious breakfast, we start the day with a visit to St. Stephen’s Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with its stunning tiled roof and impressive bell tower. Next, we explore the Hofburg Palace, the former imperial residence of the Habsburg Dynasty. The Habsburgs ruled Austria and much of Central Europe for over six centuries, shaping much of the region's history and culture.

We then proceed to view Belvedere Palace, a beautiful baroque complex that now serves as an art museum showcasing Austrian art, including works by Gustav Klimt. From there, we visit the Prater Amusement Park, famous for its historic Ferris wheel and wide range of entertainment options. Finally, we’ll see the UN Buildings, where international diplomacy takes place.

The afternoon is free, allowing you to explore Vienna at your own pace or relax.

Optional: Enjoy an evening classical concert featuring the music of Strauss and Mozart, two of Vienna's most famous composers.

Greca Tip: If you have the chance, we highly recommend attending the optional evening concert to experience Vienna's rich musical heritage. It's a perfect way to immerse yourself in the city's cultural essence.

After a hearty breakfast, we depart for Budapest, with a stop in Bratislava on the way.

In Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, you’ll have the opportunity to explore its charming Old Town, known for its medieval architecture and vibrant atmosphere. Highlights include the iconic Bratislava Castle, which offers panoramic views of the city and the Danube River, and the picturesque streets lined with colorful buildings and historic landmarks.

Dinner will be served at your hotel in Budapest, where you can relax and enjoy a meal after a day of exploration.
