Vienna and Budapest Culinary Tours & Travel
A Magical Moment
March 1-8, 2025
Two spots left!
Delicious Expeditions would like to invite you to attend a Viennese Ball---Alight by carriage, ascend the large marble staircase, and discover the magnificence of the Hofburg Palace. Dance the night away in the Grand Ballroom.
Once upon a time there was a place where people lounged in fin de siècle coffeehouses, surrounded by writers and musicians, intellectuals and philosophers. They nibbled on cream-filled cakes and apples encased in paper-thin layers of dough. In the winter, during Ball Season, they were invited to majestic palaces to waltz, their waltz—the Viennese waltz. They traveled to Budapest to take the waters, to soak in grand baths resembling small palaces. They nestled into cozy wine taverns and ate refined cuisine in opulent settings.
Delicious Expeditions has recreated this magical moment in time. The Vienna Ball and Budapest Tour offers a unique blend of imperial tradition and modern living in two of Europe’s most vibrant cities.
