Discover tours to Hallstatt
See lakeside scenery, storybook streets and classic Austrian culture on guided tours
Hallstatt sits on the edge of a still, mountain-framed lake, with timber houses climbing the hillside and viewpoints that make it one of Austria’s most photographed villages. Tours visiting Hallstatt often pair the lakeside setting with time in Austria’s great cities, including Vienna’s grand architecture and Salzburg’s old town ambience. Many itineraries also continue beyond Austria, visiting countries such as Hungary, Serbia, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Italy, while keeping the Austria section rich in culture and scenery. Expect guided tours that balance highlights with time to take in the waterfront, cafés, and alpine views.

Hallstatt adds a quieter contrast, with a lakeside village atmosphere and easy access to viewpoints and waterside walks. Travelling between these places also introduces the changing character of the country, from elegant city streets to the lake districts and alpine towns. Many tours that include Hallstatt are part of wider European journeys, but the Austria portion stands out for its mix of city highlights and mountain-framed landscapes, all within a compact area that suits multi-day touring.
