Description:

Explore Schönbrunn Palace, the Vienna Woods, and more iconic sites around the Austrian capital on this full-day tour. Admire Europe's largest underground lake, visit the 11th-century Heiligenkreuz Abbey, indulge in tea at a local café, and admire the magnificent convent at Karmel Mayerling.

Depart from Albertina Museum to visit the esteemed Schönbrunn Palace, where you can see up to 40 chambers of this former imperial summer residence with more than 300 years of history. Admire the Roman ruins, 32 sculptures, and charming gardens.

Next, travel to Hinterbrühl and stop at the marvelous Seegrotte, a formerly flooded gypsum mine. See the displays that describe the aircraft factory that operated in the cave during World War II and look out at unique views of the continent's largest subterranean lake.

Take a break to enjoy a delicious Austrian lunch before you head on to Heiligenkreuz Abbey, the oldest Cistercian monastery that is still in continuous use. Marvel at the Romanesque and Gothic architecture styles, with hundreds of red marble columns symbolizing the trees of paradise.

Break for a cup of tea or coffee at a local café before moving on. Your last stop is at the Karmel Mayerling convent for a chance to learn the history of this former hunting lodge, site of the tragic deaths of Crown Prince Rudolph and his mistress.

A trip back to the Vienna State Opera brings your tour to an end.
