About

Recommended for:
History & culture | Rail journey

There a very few travel experiences in the world that can match the elegance of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Evocative and luxurious, the journey will whisk you from Vienna to Paris in unrivalled style, enjoying white-gloved service and gourmet fine dining as you go. We’ve also included two luxurious nights in Vienna, where grand Baroque architecture sets the tone for some of the world’s greatest classical composers. You’ll then board the Orient Express for an unforgettable overnight journey to Paris, taking in the sprawling scenery of the Austrian, German and French countryside.

   

Day by day itinerary

Days 1-2
Vienna

Flying out to Vienna, make your way to to your accommodation. You’ll be perfectly located in the city centre, with all of the Austrian capital’s delights on your doorstep. Wander along Baroque streetscapes to take in the city’s imperial grandeur – the six-century-long legacy of the Habsburg monarchy evident across palaces, chapels and treasure-trove museums. But, there’s also plenty looking towards the future. To match its innovative culinary, arts and music scenes, there’s everything from lively cafés to craft beer houses.

Day 3
Depart Vienna aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

After breakfast today and a leisurely morning exploring Vienna further, make your way the short distance to the station. Here, you’ll be met by a personal steward who, dressed in the train’s iconic blue, will show you to your private cabin. You’ll be welcomed to its polished-wood grandeur by a glass of sparkling wine as the train pulls off into the Austrian countryside. It’s then time for lunch in one of the restaurant cars; expect gourmet menus to span multiple courses, served up among Lalique glasswork and delicate marquetry. Then, it’s back to your cabin to change for dinner – a four-course extravaganza with Brittany lobsters and Mont Saint-Michel lamb among the highlights. Then, perhaps cap it all off with a piano-accompanied drink in the champagne bar.
