Budapest

On the eleventh of December 1987, Budapest was added to the World Heritage List by the Commission of the World Heritage Site/UNESCO, with the view of the banks of the Danube and the Buda Castle District.

The Buda Castle district is one of the most romantic parts of the city.

It is a pristine district and one of the most important monument group in the country at the same time.

It may have been 800 years since its inception, but its beauty remains unbroken today, whether it was earthquakes, fires, siege or world war, its magnificent medieval monuments have remained wonderful to this day.

Vienna

Vienna holds all sorts of surprises for connoisseurs and all those who prefer the didiegene.

And it wouldn’t be Vienna if extravagantes weren’t accompanied by a touch of typical charm: Shopping at the flagship stores of international luxury brands or at the former k.u.k. farm suppliers.

Eat at a gourmet restaurant awarded by the Michelin Guide. Exclusive insights into museums or art purchases at auctions in the Palais. Vienna offers many opportunities for the Luxembourgus-pampered guest.

Passau

Three rivers of three directions – from the west the Danube, the south of the Inn and the Ilz – make the landscape at the triangle a unique beauty.

In addition, the baroque old town, which was created by Italian masters in the 17th century and in the centre of which rises majestically the Cathedral of St. Stephen with the largest cathedral organ in the world. Passau is always worth a trip! See for yourself!

Regensburg

UNESCO World Heritage Old Town Regensburg with city office. Once a thriving European commercial metropolis and political center of the Holy Roman Empire.
Regensburg is also an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006.

Nuernberg

Nuremberg has a rich museum landscape: From the Albrecht Dürer House, where the world-famous art genius lived and worked, to the Germanic National Museum, the largest museum of German art and culture.

At the site of the perpetrators, the causes and consequences of the Nazi terror regime are conveyed at the Documentation Center Reichstag and in the “Memorium Nuremberg Trials.”

Modern art finds its place in the Neue Museum and the Kunsthalle. The history and culture of the machine age comes alive in the Museum of Industrial Culture and the DB Museum.
