You will pass Schottenkirche (the basilica of “Our Lady of the Scots”) and head to Minoritenkirche. It is one of the oldest and most artistically valuable churches in Vienna. Inside, you will discover a hidden gem of Italian Renaissance - a mosaic version of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper.
The tour will pass the imperial palace complex of Hofburg, offering a chance to learn about the spiritual life of the House of Habsburgs.
