Day 9 – Salzburg or the Austrian Lake District
We disembark in Linz, where you have a choice of excursions. You
could head further into the countryside for a day spent amidst the
spectacular scenery of the Austrian lakes. Make stops in UNESCO
listed Hallstatt, one of Austria's most photographed villages
thanks to its traditional pastel-colored houses perched on the tiny
plain between the mountains and Hallstättersee Lake, as well as
Mondsee. This pretty town is set on the lake of the same name, and
its most famous sight is the 15th-century parish church, which
featured in the wedding scenes of 'The Sound of Music'.
Otherwise, travel by coach to Salzburg, via Mondsee, one of
Austria's most famous cities and known as the birthplace of Mozart.
A guided sightseeing tour reveals the city's internationally
renowned Baroque architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We
rejoin the ship in Passau. Overnight ship.
