Vienna, Salzburg & Tirol

With this guide, you'll explore elegant Vienna--the epicenter of opera, coffee, Art Nouveau, and waltz music. Meander through Habsburg palaces and nibble a Sacher torte in a velvet-lined cafe. In the evening, catch a classical concert, or sip wine with the locals in a traditional "Heuriger" garden. Beyond Vienna, stroll the Baroque street of Salzburg, home to Mozart and "The Sound of Music." For a taste of the Alpine living, head to the snowy peaks and green valleys of Tirol.
