Austria Tours and Trips 2024/2025

Austria is perhaps best known for its world-class musical concerts, with links to composers like Mozart and Beethoven. However, this European country also offers delicious strudels and top-notch skiing opportunities. We recommend touring the imperial palaces and Danube-side streets of Vienna - or head West to Salzburg, with its hilltop castle and beautiful gardens. You may even recognize them from the movie ‘The Sound of Music’!

Austria Tour Reviews

4 - Very Good

“Our 4 star upgrade was excellent value providing very nice accommodation central to villages with excellent facilities. This is an excellent walk as there are many options to shorten via public transport if required and good options for a rest day or 2. My wife hurt her knee and was unable to walk on steep inclines but we were able to get around this with some train and bus travel and still enjoy all the highlights of the walk.”
Trafalgar is Amazing!

“Our tour group was the last to go before another European shut-down. Trafalgor was amazing in rerouting the tour, staying a step ahead of the covid restrictions and keeping us safe and happy. Although we were not able to go to the places were expecting to go due to government restrictions, there were many upgrades along the way. Our tour director was amazing, well versed in European history, and handled all of the unexpected changes with grace and a sense of humor. We could not have asked for a better outcome and I would absolutely trust Trafalgor again to handle the complexities of traveling with covid restrictions in play.”

“We've done several self-guided walks and this one was probably the best. Apart from the spectacular, jaw dropping scenery....the maps and directions were very straight-forward and each place we stayed was comfortable. We would highly recommend this route to anyone up for a challenge.”

This is a country which always ranks high in the lists of peaceful and trouble free countries in the world.

Travel Tips

  • Don’t let the lack of turnstiles fool you - public transit in Austria is NOT free. The routes run on an honour system, but you’ll be faced with a hefty fine if caught travelling without a ticket.
  • Jaywalking is not only frowned upon in Austria, it is illegal. Don’t risk it, especially if there are police nearby. Always wait for the light or find a zebra crossing.
  • Bring your sweet tooth! No trip to Austria is complete without trying an apfelstrudel. Other must-try national foods include spätzle, a cheesy egg noodle dish, and weiners schnitzel.
  • Sunday is a day of rest in Austria, and the locals take it very seriously. You may find it hard to find an open shop on a Sunday.
  • Even though they speak the same language, do not make the mistake of assuming Austrians are Germans. They have separate cultures and even speak in different dialects.
  • Austria is surrounded by other countries. If you’re looking to expand your European travels, you’ll often find inexpensive bus links to Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Slovakia.
