5 reasons to go on a Vienna day trip

  • Value for money: A day trip provides great value, allowing you to see more of Austria without the need for extended travel or additional accommodations. With careful planning, you can visit multiple iconic destinations in one day, making the most of your time and money.
  • Convenient transfers: Thanks to Austria’s excellent transport network, day trips from Vienna are easy to plan. A majority of the day tour tickets include convenient, round-trip transfers, ensuring a seamless travel experience.

  • No matter the day trip you choose, enjoy guided walking tours through the historic streets of Salzburg, Bratislava, or Hallstatt. An experienced professional will lead you to iconic landmarks, bringing each destination to life with engaging stories and little-known facts.
  • A majority of the day trips from Vienna take around 10 to 12 hours. Be sure to check the duration of the tour and account for travel times, so you’re prepared for a full-day commitment. If you are pressed for time, go for the day tour to Hallstatt from Vienna, which takes around 6 hours and includes round-trip transfers from Opernring.
  • Depending on the kind of experience you are seeking, you can choose from a variety of day trips from Vienna. The picturesque Wachau Valley is famous for its vineyards and stunning views along the Danube. If you want to soak up the Alpine mountains, a day tour to Hallstatt from Vienna is a perfect choice. And, if you are a culture enthusiast, we recommend a day trip to Salzburg, where you can explore Mozarthaus, Hohensalzburg Fortress, and stop by iconic The Sound of Music filming locations.
  • Choosing a day tour from Vienna also depends on the type of transfer that suits your travel style. A Wachau Valley day trip is ideal for those seeking comfort, featuring a modern coach with spacious seating, air conditioning, and scenic views along the way. For those who enjoy the water, a boat trip from Vienna to Bratislava is the best way to combine sightseeing with a serene, water-based adventure. Catamaran boats provide a relaxing experience, allowing you to soak in the region’s historic landmarks from a unique vantage point as you glide along the river.

  • If you use a wheelchair and are traveling with a caregiver or a companion, we recommend boat trips from Vienna to Durnstein. A luxurious MS Kaiserin Elisabeth, with a spacious sun lounge, and a well-stocked bar, takes you along the pristine Wachau Valley, through Durnstein, to the historic town square of Bratislava.
