Vienna excursion for exchange students
The Vienna excursion doesn't take place in the winter term 2021/22!
Discovering Vienna, Austria’s capital city, is an absolute must for all who spends a semester or two at an Austrian university. Vienna is only about two hours away from Graz and so we are organising a two-day Vienna excursion. We look forward to sharing two days exploring the capital’s attractions with you, but want to show you also a side of Vienna that you won’t find in the brochures or travel guides. And because we all have such varied interests, we’re offering a modular approach to visiting Vienna. You get exactly what you want from the excursion, and at a truly sensational price!
Just travel and accommodation, or culture and opera too? No problem. Our modular system allows you to put together the ideal excursion to Vienna. Just choose from the two packages on offer and then sit back and relax. We’ll do the rest! :)

Let’s be honest, if you’ve come all the way to Vienna then you’ll want to see some of these historic buildings from the inside! Schönbrunn Palace, the Hofburg Palace, the Spanish Riding School.

CULTURE PLUS Package
How do you make a visit to Vienna a truly unforgettable experience? That’s right, by adding music. Vienna is all about music, and so we invite you to join us at the Vienna State Opera, one of the world’s largest and most famous opera houses. Stars including Maria Callas, Jessye Norman, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and Edita Gruberová have all graced its stage. Even if you’re not an opera buff, just enjoy the chance to soak in the atmosphere of an evening at the opera. Book quickly for an early bird bonus°!
