A day in Salzburg... a pageant of gardens, fountains and Baroque landmarks
Back in the day, only a privileged few
of Europe’s royals ever got to see the romantic treasures along
the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. Experience them today on Tauck’s memorable 19-day riverboat journey combining the cruise portions of Strasbourg to Prague Serenade and The
Blue Danube aboard ms Swiss Jewel, featuring two-night stays
at hotels in Strasbourg and Budapest. And, like those kings and queens of old, you’ll enjoy a taste of the royal treatment yourself as you explore a rich cornucopia of Imperial palaces, Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals, Baroque gardens, Renaissance fountains, vast vineyards, historic breweries and much more. Sample the wines of France’s Alsace region and trace the march of time from medieval La Petite France to today’s European Parliament during two nights at the Sofitel Strasbourg Grande Ile (tour of Oct 13 will not stay in Strasbourg due to the meeting of the European Parliament and will stay outside of the city). Walk in the footsteps of the rich and famous of centuries past at the opulent Belle Époque Kurhaus casino complex in the celebrated
54
Black Forest spa resort of Baden-Baden, and among the diverse historic architecture of ancient German cities including Heidelberg, Regensburg, Miltenberg and Passau. Attend a memorable dinner and wine tasting in the wine cellars of Würzburg’s historic Residenz, and a tour and tasting at a local Bamberg brewery. See magnificent churches and palaces reclaimed from the rubble of World War II in Würzburg and Nürnberg. Climb up to hilltop castle ruins where Richard the Lionhearted was once held for ransom, and taste splendid Wachau Valley wines in riverside Dürnstein. Enjoy traditional Bavarian and Slovakian folkloric performances aboard your riverboat... visits to Mozart’s birthplace and Mirabell Gardens in Baroque Salzburg... an intriguing guided walk through 17 centuries of history in Bratislava... a Schönbrunn Palace tour and a private, gala Imperial Evening with a grand dinner and live music in old Vienna... and the sights of delightful Budapest, including a special visit to Hungary’s State Opera House, during a two-night stay at the InterContinental Budapest!
