AUSTRIAN SYMPHONY

We start our tour with a panoramic visit of the city, having the opportunity to wonder with the City Hall on Marienplatz, the Viktualien Markt market, the Church of Our Lady, where Pope Benedict XVI was a cardinal, the famous Hofbräuhaus brewery, the Residence, the Old and New Pinakothek or St. Peter’s Church, among other monuments. Enjoy a relaxing stroll through the gardens of Nymphenburg Palace before continuing the tour to Olympia Park and BMW World.

Afternoon at leisure and overnight. 

We depart in the morning after breakfast to Füssen, where we will visit Neuschwanstein Palace, the best known of the 3 palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, nicknamed “the Madman”. Born from the imagination of the king, the palace is a set of various architectural and decorative styles, purely aesthetic function, with continuous references to legends and medieval heroes. Continuation of the tour to Innsbruck, capital of the Alps and the Austrian Tyrol region. Upon arrival we will enjoy a walking tour of the city center, whose streets combine the Middle Ages with the 21st century. The Maria-Theresia Avenue, with its Triumphal Arch and St. Anne’s Column, lead to the symbol of the city, the Golden Roof, the Imperial Church and the Imperial Palace. Overnight stay. 

We continue our journey to the German town of Prien am Chiemsee. Situated on the shores of Lake Chiemsee, in the center stands the island of Herreninsel, where King Ludwig II of Bavaria had his third and lesser known palace built. It was meant to be a smaller scale copy of the Palace of Versailles, which remained half-built after the king’s untimely death. Only 7 rooms, together with the kitchen and the main staircase were completed. Continuation of the journey to Salzburg.
