A world of art, fine architecture and centuries-old traditions!

Covid - no documents required

Vienna is Klimt's "Kiss", Schiele's "Embrace", an incredible equestrian ballet, fiacres drawn by thoroughbred horses, Sacher cake, the most delicious hot chocolate in the world, opera, waltz and, and, after all, the city where Freud created his theory of psychoanalysis, which changed the world and art.

Vienna is full of romanticism, which you can soak in, swoon over beauty and awe, sensuality and tenderness, filled with joy and merriment.

There is also something mystically mysterious here. It was here in the summer of 1913, in a park near Schönbrunn, that Stalin and Hitler passed each other several times, not yet knowing what fate had in store for them.

We have already organized everything, see what awaits you:

Day 1: A first date with exquisite Vienna

We check into the hotel and get to know each other during lunch. We have four unforgettable days in the heart of Austria.

We go straight to the famous Belvedere Gallery to see Klimt's masterpiece "The Kiss". The canvas has an incredible energy, the romantic mood is guaranteed for the whole day.

A coffee break in an authentic Viennese café, strong coffee, delicious hot chocolate, and the famous Zacher cake

Over dinner, we discuss our first impressions and listen to a great concert. You thought classical music was boring? We'll dispel that myth!

Now it's time for a sightseeing tour, during which we explore the history of Vienna and its imperial past. Every house here has a story that relates it to one of the world's most famous persons.

Day 2: Vienna horse ballet and strudel show

We start the morning with a training session for the beautiful white Lipizzans at the Spanish Riding School. It is worth a visit for the atmosphere of the famous Viennese horse ballet. It really is art!

To understand how art changed in the 20th century and why it became what we know it to be today, we need to meet the founder of the theory of psychoanalysis - Sigmund Freud. A personal tour of the Freud Museum

Viennese gastronomy is an art form in its own right. One of its main attractions is the famous Viennese strudel. So we go for a real strudel show!

The Albertina is one of Vienna's main museums. Here, like a kaleidoscope, the paintings of Degas, Kokoschka, Schiele, Picasso, Chagall and other geniuses, who became the face of world painting and who became the center of world art in the early 20th century, swirl before us.

Day 3: The mysteries of Empress Sissi and the fiaker ride

Vienna is steeped in tradition and the hackney carriage is one of them - it's over 300 years old. Fiacres are to Vienna what gondolas are to Venice. We learn all about their history and take a ride in one.

Empress Sissi was the favourite Viennese and the most beautiful woman in Europe at the time. We go to the Hofburg to learn more about the history of the legendary rulerW Vienna's waffles are famous all over the world! We go to the Hofburg Palace to learn about the history of the legendary ruler.

Vienna's waffles are world famous! We will learn all the secrets of its preparation at a master class, where we will try to cook this delicacy with our own hands!

Going to Vienna without visiting the opera is a crime! We'll be treated to a spectacular performance at the Vienna State Opera, where Pavarotti and Domingo, the greatest tenors in the world, once performed!

Day 4: Vienna's top art collector and secret tasting

Today is an introduction to Austrian modernism. The Leopold Museum presents the Hagenbund, an exhibition of works by artists from the eponymous association that has existed in Vienna since 1899. It is one of the most valuable art collections in the world.

Gastronomy has a special place in Vienna, so not only will we make waffles and watch strudel shows, but we will also go for a schnapps tasting. Here, at the oldest distillery where the Fischer family has been making Viennese spirits for a fifth generation, we will get to know all the special features of schnapps production and taste the best.

But we won't be saying goodbye for long, we've already prepared some fantastic new adventures for you!

Travel expert:

My name is Aleksandra Imaikina, I am the founder of the Firuzzi Art&Travel project, art advisor and your "Travel Guru'' for the duration of this trip.

For more than 10 years I've been bringing the Experiential Tourism format to the masses, which is when you immerse yourself into the new art and cultural environment, discover new skills, make interesting and pleasant acquaintances. By the way, the "Experiential Tourism" was my dissertation thesis discovery at the Sotheby's Institute of Art, London.

I'm not for "places you must visit" or "things you have to do" on your trip. I'm for conscious traveling, when every minute of your time has value, for the personal benefit of each of my guests and for the endless fun. Let's keep it "edutainment" (education+entertainment). All so that at the end of the tour you can say, "Aleksandra, we want more!"
