Like a melody that shifts from modern rhythms to classical notes, this journey carries you through two of Austria’s most captivating cities. Begin in Linz, a creative hub on the Danube where media art, Roman echoes, and sweeping viewpoints invite you to wander at your own pace. Between hikes to green hills and tastings of local delicacies, you’ll feel the pulse of a city where history and innovation share the same streets.

From there, the train leads you to Salzburg, the baroque jewel framed by mountain peaks. Here, panoramic walks on city mountains meet the sparkle of Mozart’s heritage. Discover Hellbrunn Palace, taste the airy sweetness of Salzburg Nockerl, and raise a glass at the city’s most traditional brewery. Each day combines fresh air, cultural treasures, and culinary pleasures.

With city cards in hand, local transport, and hand-picked routes, you travel light and sustainably—free to explore at your own rhythm. Step into a week of discovery where every path opens a new view, a new flavor, a new story. Join us and let Linz and Salzburg surprise you at every turn!
