Drive through Lower Austria and enjoy the local beautiful scenery of mountains and rolling vineyards during a full-day private trip. Be picked up at your accommodation in Vienna by a comfortable car and see two cities with two top Attractions: the amazing Mariazell Basilica and the famous Melk Abbey.
Visit the small and adorable town called Mariazell, where you will find the most important pilgrimage destination in Austria and one of the most visited shrines in Europe. It’s Mariazell Basilica, also known as the Basilica of the Birth of the Virgin Mary. Step inside and see the fabulous interior: twelve chapels, the main altar, and magnificent organs. It’s not only the church with amazing details and art, it’s also a treasury of turbulent history and fascinating legends. Take your time and let your mind flow to see major details of this fantastic Basilica if you sightsee on your own (ticket option A) or take true essence thanks to your knowledgeable accompanying guide (ticket option B).
Melk Abbey is one of the biggest and most beautiful European Baroque Ensembles and it’s located on top of the hill. Walk around and explore Abbey Park with the baroque garden pavilion. Marvel at exceptional architecture from outside and step inside where a guide will lead you through Abbey Museum, the Marble Hall, balcony, library, and the church with amazing chapels and decorations. Enjoy your free time in Abbey Park or in Abbey Church before driving back to Vienna. No worries about return, sit back and relax, the driver will drop you off at your hotel.
