The town has been associated with the Habsburg dynasty for over 700 years, and is home to the Imperial Villa in which the Emperor, Franz Josef I, called “heaven on earth” for him and his family.

We continue to idyllic Hallstatt village, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hallstatt is one of the most photographed spots in Austria.

Overview

Join our full day included excursion to the Imperial City of Vienna, which is without question, one of Europe’s greatest cities. As the home of the former Habsburg monarchy and the present day capital of Austria, it has much to charm the visitor.

There is a lot of walking involved to see all the sights, so why not let us introduce you to Vienna on our optional guided sightseeing tour?

We begin by coach, where we will be taken along the Imperial Boulevard known as the Ringstrasse. Here you will see the Hofburg Palace, the Parliament building, the Opera House, National Theatre and City Hall.

During our tour, we will also see the majestic Danube River, and later as we pass by the Prater amusement park, a chance to view the famous “Giant Wheel” built over 100 years ago, and today one of the most well-known landmarks of the city.

There will be frequent stops during the drive, where you will have photo opportunities and the chance to admire Vienna at its very best.

Fantastic holiday.

Jeanette Simpson, 13 days ago

The holiday was Wunderbar! - particularly the truly beautiful Lakes area. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful and all the food was far better than I could have hoped for. The behaviour of the drivers (Ian and Neal) was everything I usually experience from Shearings and Leger, and I am really looking forward to my future holidays.

Booked on line after ringing for some more info. Call centre helpful and pleasant. Website booking form a bit awkward at accepting telephone numbers.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.

My husband and I have had several holidays with Shearings and find them a first rate company, they are always wonderfully polite and helpful and do everything within their power to give you a fantastic holiday! We love travelling with them and have already booked a few more holidays in the near future!

I couldn't work it at all. The code wasn't accepted and it felt like I was going around in circles . The best feature was we'll call you back..
