Twenty-four golden hours through Austria.
From Vienna's coffeehouses at sunrise to Hallstatt's silence at dusk — Aurora Austria designs short, sumptuous, end-to-end tours for the international travel trade. Every itinerary anchored in our home region: the Salzkammergut.
Five tours, five different reasons
to come to Austria.
Every package addresses a specific traveller need — from time-poor long-haul guests to slow-paced honeymooners. Three of the five lead into the Salzkammergut, our home region.
Aurora 24
Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in a single day. Vienna at sunrise, Salzburg at lunch, Hallstatt mid-afternoon, the Eggerhaus on Lake Traunsee as the day fades. No hotel changes. Back in Vienna for dinner and opera.
Aurora Imperial
Hofburg, Stephansdom, Schönbrunn, Belvedere — with skip-the-line and a coffeehouse lunch.
Aurora Wachau
Melk Abbey, river cruise to Dürnstein, Wachau wine pairing, Krems old town.
Aurora Alpine
Wachau morning, Salzburg overnight, Hallstatt + Eggerhaus next day. Aurora 24 reimagined for premium travellers.
Aurora Melodies
Mirabell, Mondsee, Hellbrunn — one of the very few Sound of Music day tours that start in Vienna. Eggerhaus optional.
The Salzkammergut is where the difference lives.
Anyone with a coach can drive from Vienna to Hallstatt. What we add — and what no one else can — is sixty minutes at the Eggerhaus: a 17th-century farmhouse on Lake Traunsee, kept as a house of rural living culture and opened privately for our guests outside public hours. They don't walk through an exhibit. They sit in a kitchen, hold the tools, taste the food, and understand why this region matters to the Austrians who live in it.

Notes from a quieter Austria.
Long-form pieces about the places, people, and small moments that don't fit into a tour brochure.
A morning at the Eggerhaus
Why a sixty-minute stop on Lake Traunsee leaves more impression than a full day in Hallstatt — and what that tells us about premium travel.
The case for Vienna in November
The trade thinks Austria is a summer destination. The Austrians know better. A guide to the season our locals secretly prefer.
What twenty years in hospitality taught us about day tours
Michaela on why most Austrian DMC offerings are designed for the operator, not the guest — and how Aurora flipped the model.
