Your journey begins in the heart of Vienna, where the Ringstrasse Boulevard wraps around the old city like a golden frame. As you glide along in a comfortable coach, admire the Vienna State Opera, Hofburg Palace, Austrian Parliament, City Hall, and Burgtheater — each a masterpiece of architecture and a symbol of centuries of power, art, and music.
