Institute for Culture Travel is inviting holidaymakers to experience Vienna at Christmas through a three-night cultural escape departing Dublin on 14 December 2026. The trip includes an evening at the Wiener Musikverein with a Christmas concert accompanied by a pre-concert dinner, offering a night of festive music and Viennese hospitality. The package is priced at €1,289 per person sharing with a single supplement of €269.
The itinerary includes a visit to Schönbrunn Palace with a welcome lunch at the Joseph II Restaurant before a guided tour of the former imperial summer residence. Guests will have free time to explore the Christmas markets and soak up the festive atmosphere at their own pace. The trip also includes a visit to the Johann Strauss House, a half-day panoramic city tour showcasing historic landmarks, and a visit to a traditional Viennese coffee house with coffee and cake.
The package includes return flights from Dublin to Vienna, three night’s accommodation at the 4-star DoubleTree by Hilton Vienna Schönbrunn, all guided tours and excursions, Christmas concert tickets at the Wiener Musikverein with Category 1 seating, pre-concert dinner, return coach transfers for the concert, and services of an experienced guide for all transfers and excursions.
Caroline Quigley, General Manager at Institute for Culture Travel, shared: “Vienna is such a wonderful destination to experience at Christmas because there is so much more to discover beyond the festive atmosphere. The markets are a wonderful part of the experience but this trip is really about embracing Vienna as a cultural destination at Christmas. There is a wonderful sense of occasion throughout the city at this time of year and the evening at the Musikverein will be a particularly memorable part of the trip.”
