Available only on weekends (Saturday–Sunday) from October 1th to April 30th. Orava Castle is a true stronghold — a fortress built directly onto a sheer rock above the Orava River, rising in three levels that follow the cliff. Very few castles in Central Europe match its position or its silhouette. When you walk through it, you move upward through centuries of fortification rather than through a polished museum path. Orava Castle isn’t just a rock-built stronghold; it’s also a piece of film history. Scenes from the 1922 silent classic horror movie "Nosferatu : A symphony of Horror" were shot here, making it one of the earliest Dracula filming locations. On the way to Orava Castle we stop in Terchová, Jánošík’s birthplace, where a stainless-steel statue of this real 18th-century Carpathian outlaw stands above the village. Slovakia and Poland both treat Jánošík as part of their national folk tradition.

Ljubljana brings that gentle Habsburg charm — a small, elegant capital with riverside cafés and slow-flowing streets — while Lake Bled adds the alpine drama, the island church, and the cliff-top castle. Together it feels like culture and scenery blending into one beautifully balanced day.

Today Vienna is home to the fourth Jewish community in its history. This fact alone points to the long and rich Jewish history of this city. Without doubt, the history of the Jewish people in this place has been very eventful and deeply interesting, albeit oftentimes tragic. On this tour, we explore the oldest part of Vienna, the First district, where most traces and sites of Vienna’s rich Jewish past and present can be found: those of the first and significant Medieval Jewish community, and the magnificent achievements of the third, which was instrumental in fuelling Vienna’s cultural and economic thriving during the Founder’s time, Vienna's ‘Belle époque’. Beyond these aspects, we gain a comprehensive overview of the entire history with the help of the excellent Jewish Museum of Vienna, whose two closely situated dependencies offer a vividly narrated insight into all aspects past and present, as well as an accessible archaeological excavation site of the Medieval synagogue.

For more than 600 years, the Habsburg family has been ruling the country known as Austria, and many lands today beyond your borders. They evolved from an insignificant lineage of robber barons into a dynasty ruling an empire in which the sun never set, just to finally lose all power in the dawning age of democracy (all..?). No wonder the Habsburgs left us with an ubiquitous legacy which can be deciphered on many buildings, squares, and religious edifices in Vienna’s Old Town as well as inside locations of Imperial presence now museums. Regional traditions and even some character traits of and prejudices against Austrians in general and Viennese in particular can be traced back to the long rule of one dynasty. Last but nor least, we inherited many fascinating, awe-inspiring, at times shocking, sometimes tragical but every so often comical stories, some of which I will share with you on this vivid and colourful historical tour. Please note: the two museum entries are payable on site.
