From St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the Hofburg Palace and the State Opera, we will show you all the postcard places and must sees of the city center. It’s important to make a good first impression after all. We are always by your side to ensure that your date goes well. If it does, we also organize weddings, but step by step.

GETTIN’ ARTSY IN VIENNA – WE INTRODUCE YOU TO THE KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM

The Kunsthistorisches Museum introduces itself. A real eye-catcher both inside and outside. The museum was built as a home for the artworks of the Habsburg Family. Because we are always visiting, it already feels like our second home – we just get along really well with the residents. Mr. Caravaggio from the first floor for example is super charming and Vermeer with his Dutch accent… just hilarious. In the meantime, we have also become such good friends with Mr. Rubens that he has even revealed the secrets of his masterpieces to us. Come on our highlight tour and we’ll be happy to show you around.
