From Vienna: Hallstatt, Salzburg, Alps & Lakes Day Trip

About this experience

Hallstatt and Salzburg Day Trip from Vienna Book this Hallstatt and Salzburg day trip from Vienna and see two of Austria's most famous places in one organised day, with the Alps and the Salzkammergut lakes in between. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional guide, spend time in the lakeside village of Hallstatt and then join a guided walking tour of Salzburg's Old Town before the drive back to Vienna. The full day lasts about 13 hours. It is a good choice if you only have a few days in Vienna and want to get out to the mountains without arranging trains, connections and timings yourself. The guided tour in Salzburg is in English. What You See on the Hallstatt and Salzburg Tour Hallstatt: the much-photographed village on the shore of Lake Hallstatt, with pastel houses stacked between the water and steep mountain slopes. The area is part of the Hallstatt-Dachstein Salzkammergut UNESCO World Heritage site. Salzburg: a guided walk through the Old Town, the birthplace of Mozart and the city where The Sound of Music was filmed, with local stories from your guide. Alpine and lake scenery: the drive takes you through some of Austria's most scenic countryside, with mountain and lake views along the way. Depending on the size of the group, you travel by minivan with a driver-guide or by coach with a licensed guide for the Salzburg tour. If you would like to stay on in Salzburg, you can leave the group there and make your own way back to Vienna by train at your own expense.
