Sample Itinerary

International Arrival

3 Nights
Vienna
Vienna, the capital city of Austria by the Danube River, is also the artistic and cultural heart of the country. Home to musical maestros like Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, and Strauss, among many other masters, Vienna is famous the world over as the City of Music. It is worth catching a performance of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the many opera houses dotting the city, like the Musikverein, the Staatsoper, or the grand Konzerthaus. Much of the grandeur of this exquisite city has come down from the age when Vienna was the center of the Habsburg Empire. The city abounds in grand palaces like the Hofburg Palace complex and the Schloss Schönbrunn, or the summer palace of the Hapsburgs. Vienna also has many museums like the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna and the contemporary art museum, MUMOK. The elegant City Hall at the Innere Stadt is also worth a visit. Viennese coffee and desserts are legendary. So don’t leave town without visiting one of its many coffee houses.

Salzburg
Salzburg, a fairy tale Alpine town, became popular with travelers largely because of the all-time classic family musical, The Sound of Music. This picturesque town in the Eastern Alps bordering Germany is named after the lovely Salzach River, which runs through it. Salzburg is also popular with travelers from around the world as the birthplace of the musical genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart’s old family home has been lovingly preserved as a museum in the Altstadt or Old Town. Salzburg has proudly preserved its musical heritage to this day by holding classical concerts on nearly every day of the year. Elegant Baroque buildings, medieval church spires, lovely shaded parks, and stone-paved little streets make up this picture-perfect Austrian gem. Sample the delicious street food at the Alter Markt or Old Market Square, feasting on Wiener schnitzels, Tafelspitz, and Austrian pretzels, before dropping by the city’s many beer gardens.

Munich
The mere mention of Munich and one conjures up images of annual Oktoberfest gatherings where lederhosen and dirndl-clad women serve beer in large tankards! Although beer halls, including the 16th-century Hofbräuhaus and modern open-air beer gardens are commonplace, this wonderful capital of Bavaria that straddles the Isar river in southern Germany has a lot more to offer. Contemporary art quarters, plus automotive and comedy museums, stand next to the world’s best science and technology collections housed in heritage buildings. Explore bronzed cobblestone alleys and converted air-raid bunkers that speak stories of the past. Go back in time at Marienplatz, the city square where the town hall featuring gothic revival architecture showcases a glockenspiel clock in its dramatic façade. And then, there are the spectacular royal palaces of German monarchs, centuries-old churches, and expansive botanical parks that add elegance to Munich’s urban landscape. A sports hub, soccer fans will be delighted to watch matches at Allianz Arena, the home ground of FC Bayern!

“Our Tour Co-Ordinator was Rose Kennedy from Melbourne. She devised an excellent itinerary for us and organized private drivers for us in a country like Germany which doesn’t normally push that thing. I can assure Rose from Enchanting Melbourne is well equipped to organize our Germany holiday.”

“Our trip was lovely. We were met at the airport by a driver and whisked to our hotel. My granddaughters loved the Perfume Making Class and Cooking Class in Paris. Of course, they loved all the wonderful sites we visited. Our hotel was perfect. We left Paris and headed to London. Our hotel and tour guides were wonderful. We saw so much in a three-day period due to the skill and knowledge of our tour guides. It was a magical trip.”
June 2022 Rating 5/5
“We returned a little over a week ago from our 11 day Germany adventure. It was a fantastic trip with fun tour guides, professional and on time drivers, great food, and lots of walking which we enjoyed. Our itinerary included Berlin, Nuremberg, and Munich. Each city has it own flavor which made it such a great trip. Our 16 year old is a fan of royals so touring the castles was a highlight for her (and us). This was our first international family trip that was not a cruise. We’ve been bitten by the jump the pond travel bug so more European travels will be in our future.”
