Graz to Vienna

Liechtenstein Castle, perched on the edge of the Vienna Woods in Maria Enzersdorf, Austria, is a historic fortress dating back to the 12th century. This beautifully preserved castle, with its rugged stone towers and medieval architecture, offers a glimpse into Austria's feudal past. The castle is also notable as the ancestral seat of the princely family of Liechtenstein, who gave the name to the modern-day Principality of Liechtenstein. Visitors can explore its well-maintained interiors, including the grand knight's hall, and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Franzensburg, located in Laxenburg Park just south of Vienna, Austria, is a romantic, neo-Gothic castle built in the early 19th century to resemble a medieval fortress. Surrounded by a large lake and lush parkland, it can be reached by a short boat ride, adding to its fairytale charm. Inside, the castle features richly decorated rooms, historic art, and collections reflecting Austria’s imperial past.
