Secret Habsburg Castles: Franz Ferdinand’s Artstetten & Melk

Absolutely impressive and awe-inspiring castle and crypt!

Absolutely impressive and awe-inspiring castle and crypt! I am amazed at how recently people have been entombed here - in the 2010s! We sadly didn't have time to see everything due to when we arrived.

Hallstatt : Guided day trip from Vienna (small group)

Excellent Trip

Comfortable coach with a fabulously entertaining tour guide. If you are tall I recommend trying to get seats back from the centre stair well as they have a bigger pitch but the standard seats are fine. Plenty of stops, you need to pay for the toilets so have some 200c/100c coins handy although some stops will take a card payment. The funicular ride does involve queuing for some time but the views are lovely at the top. After descending we walked along the lake front and spotted a 14 Euro 30min boat trip out on to the lake. That was the highlight. We followed the coach guide's advice and got sandwiches in the local supermarket and we ate them as we sailed the lake. Do not be late back the coach, it drops off and picks up in Hallstatt to a very tight schedule. If you are late you'll be left behind.
