For a long time, Vienna was a major world capital. What a pleasure it is to walk along its avenues in the early morning and smell the daybreak coffee as the shops begin to open. Vienna has it all: buildings with character, wonderful parks, amazing pastry shops and magnificent concert venues such as the prestigious Musikverein. In less than an hour’s journey by car or train from the Imperial Palace, you can discover vineyards producing terrific sweet wines, lakes for mid-winter iceskating and castles filled with music. This route leads you into landscapes of such beauty that they have been listed by UNESCO. A route leading all the way down to the beautiful “Blue Danube”…
