City Highlights
Vienna is pure sophistication - grand boulevards, imperial buildings, and café-lined streets buzzing with charm. Every corner feels like a scene from a period film.
Vienna City Tour
Pro tip: Focus on the city’s architectural details like archways, lampposts, and ornate facades. Early morning light gives soft tones and beautiful long shadows along the cobbled streets.
Ringstrasse Boulevard
This famous circular avenue is lined with Vienna’s most impressive landmarks - the State Opera House, Parliament, Hofburg Palace, and City Hall.
Pro tip: Take a wide shot from across the street to capture the full grandeur. A tram passing through the frame adds the perfect splash of local life. Twilight brings out the warm golden glow of the buildings.
St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom)
The heart of Vienna - this gothic masterpiece dominates the city skyline. Its patterned roof and tall spire are stunning from every angle.
Pro tip: Capture the cathedral from Stephansplatz for a full frame.
Schönbrunn Palace
A true fairytale - golden walls, sweeping gardens, and royal history at every turn.
Pro tip: Stand at the Gloriette viewpoint for a breathtaking shot of the entire palace complex. Capture reflections in the fountains, or use the garden’s symmetry for elegant, balanced photos.
Salzburg & The Sound of Music
Salzburg City
Nestled at the foot of the Alps, Salzburg is charming in its purest form - baroque churches, cozy streets, and music everywhere.
Pro tip: Shoot from Mönchsberg or Kapuzinerberg for sweeping skyline views with the fortress rising above the rooftops.
The Sound of Music Tour
Step right into the movie magic! From the Mirabell Gardens (where “Do-Re-Mi” was filmed) to Leopoldskron Palace and the rolling meadows outside the city, it’s every fan’s dream.
Pro tip: Recreate iconic scenes - walking along the Pegasus Fountain, or framing the mountains in the background. Bright morning light works best for clear, colorful shots.
Quick Tips for Great Photos
Golden hour elegance: Vienna and Salzburg both glow beautifully at sunrise and sunset, the light adds a romantic, timeless feel.
