About the destination: Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a city where imperial history and contemporary culture blend seamlessly. Grand boulevards, elegant palaces, and ornate coffeehouses create an atmosphere of old-world charm, while vibrant neighborhoods, modern museums, and a thriving creative scene keep the city firmly in the present. From the Ringstrasse lined with monumental buildings to cozy side streets filled with local shops and bakeries, Vienna invites you to explore at a leisurely pace. No visit is complete without discovering Vienna’s imperial heritage. Start at Schönbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the Habsburgs, with its lavish interiors and expansive gardens. In the city center, the Hofburg complex houses the Imperial Apartments, the Sisi Museum, and the Spanish Riding School, where you can watch the famous Lipizzaner stallions. Nearby, St. Stephen’s Cathedral rises above the old town, offering panoramic views from its tower over the rooftops and the Danube. Vienna is equally renowned for its cultural life and music. The city was home to Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss, and you can still feel that legacy in venues like the Vienna State Opera and the Musikverein, where classical concerts are held almost every night. Art lovers should head to the MuseumsQuartier to explore the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK, or visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum for one of Europe’s finest collections of Old Masters. In between sights, relax in a traditional coffeehouse, sipping a Melange and tasting a slice of Sachertorte. Beyond the monuments, Vienna is a city of green spaces and relaxed living. Walk or cycle along the Danube Canal, picnic in the Prater park beneath the iconic Giant Ferris Wheel, or take a short tram ride to the vineyards on the city’s outskirts for a glass of local wine at a Heuriger (wine tavern). Efficient public transport, safe streets, and a compact center make it easy to explore, whether you have a weekend or a week. Vienna’s mix of history, culture, and laid-back charm makes it a rewarding destination in any season.

About the destination: Graz, Austria's second biggest city, is a pretty Central European town where various architectural styles and artistic movements have blended since the Middle Ages. Partly surrounded by the Alps, at the ford of the river Mur, with the Schlossberg, the castle hill, in the centre, Graz is a perfectly located city. The hike up the Schlossberg takes less than 30 minutes and rewards walkers with excellent views. At the top there is an open-air theatre, a small military museum and the bell tower which dates from 1588. Graz's Hauptplatz is a wonderful square where you can find Graz's town hall, a bustling market and a lovely fountain. There are many ornate buildings next to the square. Graz's position as European Capital of Culture in 2003 brought contrast between the very old and the ultra-modern to the city’s architecture. Two examples of great modern design are the Kunsthaus, a futuristic exhibition centre located on the banks of the River Mur dubbed the "Friendly Alien", and the Mur Insel, an artificial island on the Mur River made of metal and glass. Grazers love to hang out at any time, meet friends and chat in the cosy ambience of the many city cafes. Nice and sunny days will fill the streets with people. Every cafe and pastry shop has a small street terrace, especially those located in a city squares. The large student population helps propel the nightlife and vibrant arts scene, creating a pleasant, active and liveable city.
