Day 1: Start of tour in Munich

Welcome to Munich! Meet up with your tour leader at the hotel in the morning before heading out on an orientation tour of the city. Munich as a city exhibits both prosperity and a certain amount of comfort and cosiness. Munich’s apparent contradictions will delight the avid explorer. Along with modern high-powered industry, designer shopping districts and sleek BMWs, you’ll find a wealth of cultural hotspots in Munich. Even with all its smart sophistication, Munich has a certain charm that visitors find irresistible. Tonight, join your tour leader and fellow travellers at a traditional German beer hall to get a taste of German culture and cuisine. Prost!

Day 2: Neuschwanstein Castle - Innsbruck

Today, you’re off to Innsbruck, with a stopover at the famous Neuschwanstein Castle on the way! With turrets soaring high above the surrounding woodland, this is a castle that will bring all those familiar fairy tales to mind. Take a tour that allows you to get up close and personal with this outstanding European landmark. Next, make your way to Innsbruck in nearby Austria. This is one of the few places in the world that can really lay claim to having something for everyone. It's not every destination that offers extreme sports (thanks to the close proximity of the soaring Nordkette Alps), fascinating historical heritage (courtesy of the legacy of the Habsburgs), and vibrant modern attractions to boot. Arrive in the afternoon and set out for an orientation tour of the city. Then you can choose to add an ascent up the Nordkette mountain, or simply explore incredible Innsbruck at your leisure.

On arrival in Vienna, we’ll take a driving tour of the city – which ranks as one of the world’s most liveable cities. Few cities can show off such cultural and historical splendour and maintain a profile as an exciting, modern city, but Vienna does it well. Along with a musical past that includes luminaries like Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, and artworks by masters like Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka, Vienna has a buzzing modern culinary scene, cheerful, bustling pubs and bars, and a host of clubs and music venues in which to dance the night away.
