Explore Mozart’s preserved Vienna apartment and exhibits with a multi-language audio guide, plus optional Haus der Musik.
“I expect to see whole residence to be decorated but it was completely empty. At least I was expecting to see a musical instrument from Mozart's era.”
Audio tour in Vienna’s New Hofburg Palace with entry ticket. See armor, music instruments, Mozart link, and the Habsburg story.
“Great way to learn history of one of Viennas monarchs and understand the dichotomy of the joint Spanish / Austrian throne.”
Walk Vienna’s Schlumberger wine-cellar labyrinth, learn champagne-style making, try hand-riddling, then enjoy a tasting set at the end.
“The cellar was really nice and worthy a visit. You have to be mindful that this is not in Vienna central but 20 mins away from Stephansplatz with public transport. This included our wine tasting experience which we thought was a great value for money. The environment is also really cool. Be sure to bring jackets with you as the cellar is cold.”
Salzburg Cathedral ticket with optional English or German audio guide. Explore the dome, bells, and organ at your own pace.
