The Austrians are justly proud of their beautiful country. It has a wealth of history, art, architecture and music, and the splendid Baroque palaces and buildings are a constant reminder of the Hapsburg Empire.
We are delighted to be staying at a 4-star Hotel in the Alpine village of Kaprun.

The main street, W.Fazakas Strasse, is a pedestrianised area where you will find shops, banks, restaurants, bars, and the tourist office. Over the years our clients have loved their stay in this beautiful village with its dramatic setting.

The city is best known for Austria’s famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His birthplace and house are museums of his life and works. Museums, houses, squares, chocolate bars and liqueurs are all part of one giant homage to Mozart. The Getreidegasse is a lively shopping street adorned with wrought iron signs which provide a picturesque touch. During the tour, your Tour Leader will guide you through the renowned Mirabell Palace and Gardens. This exquisite location served as a backdrop for some of the most memorable scenes from The Sound of Music.
