Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night self-guided rail vacation from Vienna to Verona, with a stop in Salzburg. The first two nights are in Vienna, where a hop-on hop-off bus pass covers the Anchor Clock, the Opera House, and the Hofburg Imperial Palace, and a second day adds skip-the-line access to the Danube Tower, with views from its glass-walled deck and open-air platform. On day 3, a scenic train crosses the Arlberg Pass to Salzburg for a two-night stay, with day 4 taking in the baroque Mirabell Palace, the Hohensalzburg Fortress, and Mozart's birthplace. Day 5 continues by train via Innsbruck into Italy, described in the evidence as the route into Verona, for a final two nights.
