Hallstatt Day Trip from Munich

Across the Alps from Bavaria to Austria’s prettiest village

Overview

Hallstatt is closer to Munich than most travellers realise — a scenic drive over the border through the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. We take care of the route, the border and the timing, so you arrive relaxed at one of Europe’s most photographed villages.

The lakeside village is yours for about three hours: the classic viewpoint, the lanes around Market Square, lunch by the water, or the salt mine and the Skywalk. Then we drive you back to Munich in comfort.

  • The legendary Hallstatt lakeside view
