The German philosopher Nietzsche once said, “When I wished to express music in a single word, I said Vienna; when I wished to express mystery, I said Prague.”

During the height of the Habsburg dynasty in the 18th century, Vienna attracted world-renowned musicians such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, who composed many famous pieces, making it the “City of Music.” The city is filled with an artistic atmosphere, serene and peaceful yet exuding an aristocratic charm.

As for Prague, the first entire city in the world to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is brimming with historical allure. Even after surviving World War II, it has preserved a wealth of ancient buildings constructed over the past thousand years. Amidst Prague’s cobblestone streets and the dark silhouettes of Gothic churches illuminated by streetlights, every alleyway holds its own myths and legends.

Join a thoughtfully curated tour by Master Travel, traveling from the City of Music, Vienna, to the City of a Thousand Spires, Prague, to experience the musical pulse and artistic life of these two historic Central European cities.

Take a Boat Ride on Lake Wolfgang Like a Watercolor Painting to Visit Mozart

Lake Wolfgang is made up of 12 interconnected lakes of varying sizes, resembling a beautiful string of pearls, glistening and dazzling. The lake’s color shifts between blue and green with the seasons. Nestled among dense forests, green meadows, and steep mountain ranges, it looks like a dreamlike watercolor painting. As a result, it has been beloved by countless artists and literati. Since the Middle Ages, it has been a favorite holiday and hunting destination for the Habsburg nobility. It was listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 1997.

In addition to admiring the picturesque scenery of Lake Wolfgang by boat, you can also visit St. Gilgen on the southern shore. The bright opening scene of the 1965 Oscar-winning film “The Sound of Music” was filmed here. Moreover, this is the hometown of Mozart’s mother. Her birthplace has been turned into the “Mozart Memorial,” and a statue of young Mozart stands in the square.
