Vienna Tour Packages

Tour Description
Vienna (Austria) , developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, was the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, as well as the late-19th-century Ringstrasse lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.

“There are many attractions in Vienna, but the main symbol of Austria and Vienna is St.
Stephen's Cathedral. This amazing building in the late Romanesque and Gothic style will not
leave anyone indifferent. The temple is magnificent both outside and inside. The most valuable
relics, religious objects, and works of art are kept here”.
“For centuries the Vienna Hofburg (Palace) was the centre of the Habsburg empire. Today the
palace houses three museums which afford historically authentic insights into the traditions
and everyday life of the imperial court: The Imperial Apartments with their original furnishings
and decoration, the Sisi Museum with its sensitive staging of the empress' life, and the Imperial
Silver Collection which contains a comprehensive range of tableware and other utensils used at
the imperial court”.
“St. Peter’s Basilica, present basilica of St. Peter in Vatican City (an enclave in Rome), begun by
Pope Julius II in 1506 and completed in 1615 under Paul V. It is designed as a three-aisled Latin
cross with a dome at the crossing, directly above the high altar, which covers the shrine of St.
Peter the Apostle”.

Day 5PRAGUE CITY TOUR
“Prague Castle was most likely founded in around 880 by Prince Bořivoj of the Premyslid
Dynasty (Přemyslovci). According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Prague Castle is the
largest coherent castle complex in the world, with an area of almost 70,000 m². A UNESCO
World Heritage site, it consists of a large-scale composition of palaces and ecclesiastical
buildings of various architectural styles, from the remains of Romanesque-style buildings from
the 10th century through Gothic modifications of the 14th century. The famous Slovenian
architect Josip Plečnik was responsible for extensive renovations in the time of the First
Republic (1918-1938). Since the Velvet Revolution, Prague Castle has undergone significant and
ongoing repairs and reconstructions”.
“The original residence building, mostly wooden, was built at Prague Castle already at the turn
of the 9th and 10th century. Its exact location is not documented. It was prince Soběslav in the
12th century who had a stone Romanesque palace built right next to a new fortification wall.
Remains of it have been preserved in the underground till the present times. The palace was
adjoined on its eastern side by All Saints' Chapel, which was consecrated in 1185”.
