Illustration of Vienna

Railtour Suisse arranges a two-day, one-night city break to Vienna, Austria's capital. Travellers depart Zurich by 2nd class train, with the option of a day or night train, and spend one night in Vienna before returning. The package positions Vienna as a centre of imperial history, music, and coffeehouse culture. Highlights include the UNESCO World Heritage old town and Schönbrunn Palace, featuring architecture spanning baroque, art nouveau, and contemporary styles; over 100 museums; and the 5.3-kilometre Ringstrasse boulevard. Railtour Suisse notes that Vienna draws five million visitors annually, with draws including Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss residences, concert halls, and traditional Viennese coffeehouses serving Melange coffee and Sachertorte cake. This package suits first-time rail travellers seeking a short, culture-focused escape, couples, history enthusiasts, and those drawn to culinary tradition.
