Excellently located two minutes walk from the Mozarteum and just across the river from the Festspielhaus (600 metres). It is a 5-star family run hotel occupying an old building which has been impeccably converted. Luxurious but not lavish. Included lunches and dinners are in the hotel and in carefully selected restaurants elsewhere.

A fair amount of walking is unavoidable, and the tour is planned on the expectation that participants walk to and from the concert venues; average distance by coach per day: c. 45 miles.

These will not be confirmed until August 2012.

This tour will operate with between 12 and 22 participants.

We regret that applications from people aged 81 or over at the time of the tour will not be accepted.
