Vienna is considered the “city of music”. This walk explains why. The tour leads through the old town and shows the development of musical culture from the early beginnings to the 19th century. The focus is not on individual composers, but on the structures behind them : courtyard, church and growing urban society. Selected audio samples make this development understandable. They show how musical forms change, build on each other and reflect the respective zeitgeist. Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Strauss show how music breaks away from fixed structures and becomes part of urban life. The walk leads from the historic center to the Ring and shows two sides of Vienna : the narrow old town and the open city of the 19th century. The tour ends at the Vienna State Opera.

Some of these tests are used by scientists to reveal the evolutionary assumptions of attractiveness. Afterwards, we'll go through the collections of one of the world's finest art museums to examine together images of goddesses and courtesans, historical figures and mythical heroines. Themes & Artworks: • Titian's "Diana and Сalypso" will give us some insight into the secret of the attraction of the little foot. • Tintoretto's "Susanna in the Bath" will tell us the basic principle of attraction for the flawless skin. • Peter Paul Rubens' "The Little Fur Coat" will comment on her attitude to the Body Positivity movement. • Ancient Egyptian sarcophagi will explain the popularity of push-up bras. • We'll look at the rules of the golden ratio in Greek sculpture, Dutch painting and in plastic surgery.

Forget the crowds of Vienna and come along to where Austrians themselves go at Christmas — the magical villages around Lake Wolfgang. Every year in Advent, locals leave the busy streets behind and head to Lake Wolfgang, where Christmas feels like a fairy tale. Each village has its own charm: In St. Gilgen, the market glows with baroque lanterns, Mozart motifs, and elegant stalls. In Strobl, the “Shepherds’ Advent” feels like stepping into a nativity scene, with animals, rustic huts, and twinkling lights by the water. In St. Wolfgang, torches and lanterns shine across the lake, while a giant floating Advent candle glows as the symbol of the season. With your own driver and private guide, you can take it slow — stop for photos, warm up with mulled wine, taste local treats, and shop for unique handmade gifts. This is NOT the usual Hallstatt trip. It’s a more authentic holiday escape, the one Austrians keep for themselves — and now you can experience it too.

Continue to Baden, where the town’s Advent Market fills the streets with twinkling lights, handmade gifts, and the aromas of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts. On selected dates, your evening ends with something truly special: - Laxenburg Palace Christmas Garden (Wed–Fri): stroll through imperial gardens transformed into a glowing wonderland of light and sound. - Medieval Water Castle Market (Sat–Sun): step into a fairy-tale fortress by the water, where torches, music, and artisan stalls bring the Middle Ages to life. This tour lets you slow down and capture memories away from Vienna’s busy city center.
