We had the pleasure of having Mo drive our group around all week, and we couldn't be more pleased! He kept us safe, got us everywhere on time, and even got to know us like a good friend! Would love to have Mo as a driver again!

We booked Panorama to transport our wedding guests from the hotel to the wedding ceremony, and it's one of the best wedding planning choices we made. First, in booking the coach, Maggie was very helpful (and super friendly). She took time to explain everything and then sent an email with everything we talked about. Fast forward to the day of the ceremony, it's raining and we find out there's no loading zone in front of the hotel, so the bus couldn't park in front of the hotel for very long. No problem. Maggie calls me first thing in the morning (on a Sunday!) to tell me the bus is parked a few blocks away, and asks me to call her when our guests are gathered together and ready to board. Once I gave her the go-ahead, she let the driver know and he stopped right in front of the hotel. The bus itself was clean and seemed to be only a year old at most. The driver was very friendly, and navigated the streets and bridges of NYC flawlessly. I almost wish I had multiple occasions to book motor coaches because of the friendly service I got from Panorama.

This is a quality company. They went above and beyond to be helpful and kind to my family when we lost an article on the bus. From the Bus Driver Samuel, to Michelle in the office, to the cleaners, awesome all around. Wonderful team of people.

Panorama has been such a reliable, reasonable and profession Tour Company. I have used them for many Years. The Tours guides have been knowledgeable and such gentlemen. It has always been great experience working with them

Discover the most beautiful sights of Hallstatt!

This Hallstatt Tour from Salzburg takes you to the picturesque world-famous town between Lake Hallstatt and the steep slopes of the Dachstein Massif.

Located right on the shores of Lake Hallstatt, this small town is considered one of the most beautiful lake side villages in the world. Not only does it captivate with its fabulous idyllic & fairytale-like atmosphere, Hallstatt also has a rich history that dates back to the Neolithic Age. 

Panorama Tours will take you to the magical place in the Austrian Salzkammergut - this guided Hallstatt bus tour from Salzburg is a perfect daytrip all around the year.

​​​​​​​Tour itinerary

Our Hallstatt Tour from Salzburg takes the direct route to Hallstatt. The drive through picturesque towns such as Fuschl, St. Gilgen and Strobl takes around 1.5 hours . During our 2.5 hours stay in Hallstatt you can explore the town at your own leisure. The trip back to Salzburg takes us through Gosau, Russbach and Abtenau.

The picturesque town can be explored on foot during your stay, and the history and sights offer a glimpse into the culture of the Salzkammergut region between Salzburg and Upper Austria.

Hallstatt’s rich history

Numerous archeological finds prove that humans have settled here for over 7,000 years since the Neolithic Age. The area has been populated continually since then. As early as 2000 BC salt was mined in Hallstatt. Further expansion of the salt mining over the following centuries led to a first economic golden age around 800 BC. The large burial ground in the Hochtal attests to the wealth of this era. A few decades after its discovery the period between 800 and 400 BC was renamed “Hallstatt Period” .

In 1997 Hallstatt and its surrounding area the Salzkammergut was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

In 2012 Hallstatt again went through the media after it became known that a hair exact replica of the town of Hallstatt exists in southern China.

5 Tips for your Hallstatt Tour

Explore hallstatt on foot.

The charming little town of Hallstatt is best explored on a walking tour. The narrow streets and quaint houses exude their own flair and allow visitors to experience the magic of Alpine culture firsthand.

The best place to start your Hallstatt walking tour is at the Lahner Steg, a small lookout point, right next to the bus parking lot. From the footbridge you can enjoy a great view of the water, the town and often the swans of Hallstatt.

From the parking lot, follow Seestraße and walk between old, charming houses and lakeside promenade. On the Seestraße you will find, among other things, a boat rental and small stores with souvenirs and typical food. 

At the end of the Seestraße you will reach the market place, which offers the heart of Hallstatt, also the famous boat of the Hallstatt Schifffahrt docks here. From the market square, Gosaumühlstrasse leads past the cemetery & church to the famous lookout point, which offers a beautiful view of the whole town.

The famous “Bone House” in Hallstatt

Don’t miss out on the “Bone House” right next to the catholic church and make it the highlight of your Hallstatt Tour! It is the only one of its kind around the world. The small building dates back to the 16 th century and houses over 600 skulls and bones of Hallstatt citizens. The local cemetery is so small that the remains of deceased persons are exhumed after 20 to 30 years to make space. Their bones and skull are then bleached, painted and placed in the Bone House. During a visit to the Beinhaus you will learn exciting insights into the culture of the small town.

Ride with the Electric Boat on the Hallstatt Lake

Rent an electric boat and go on a boat tour on Lake Hallstatt to get a different view of the picturesque town from the lake’s surface.

Viewing Platform "World Heritage View"

If you prefer a bird’s eye perspective make sure to take the funicular up to the Skywalk – an observation deck 1,100 ft. above the roofs of Hallstatt. Enjoy the breath-taking views of Hallstatt and Lake Hallstatt.

The grand Hotel Ukraina houses a unique model of Red Square created by diorama artist Efim Deshalyt in 1977. The model, titled "Moscow: The Capital of the USSR" or "Panorama of Moscow," was commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Soviet Revolution.

Efim Deshalyt (1921-1996) worked as a film art director but was most famous as a painter of 19th-century-style panoramas and grand landscape murals of dramatic moments in Russian history (as well as small still lifes ). The Panorama of Moscow model measures about 400 square feet and was built by 150 craftsmen. The model was part of the "Soviet National Exhibition" cultural exchange exhibit in Los Angeles in 1977, where it was a popular attraction, though it was upstaged by an exhibit of microminiatures by Armenian artist Eduard Kazarian .

After a tour of several countries in Europe, the model found a permanent home in 1980 at the All-Russian Exhibition Center northwest of Moscow. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the model was sold to a private investor and put on display at a shopping mall from 1997 until 2006 when the attraction closed. Citing high electricity costs for the model's elaborate lighting system and a lack of visitors (other than foreign tourists) the model was put up for sale in 2006 for 3 million Euros, which attracted much attention online. Fortunately it was not moved from the city or dismantled, but was purchased by the Hotel Ukraina, which restored the diorama and upgraded the lighting to a computer-controlled audio-visual tour available in four languages on listening stations overlooking the model.

Interestingly, the model has been cleaned and restored but not updated from its original design. It is a time capsule of Leonid Brezhnev-era central Moscow. This view of a vast parking lot of tour busses and little Ladas crossing the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge is what the Soviet Union chose to show off to the world in 1977.

When a visitor pushes a button to start the program, the lights dim and tiny interior lights of the model twinkle on. The flattened buildings painted on the backdrop, too, have transparent windows with lights inside. The audio guide describes notable landmarks and a spotlight shines on each briefly. The tour hurries along quickly and its hard to just relax and wander the miniature city with your eyes until the program is over and lighting returns to normal for a while until the next visitor pushes the start button again.

The model encompasses the entire walls of the Kremlin with its many gold-domed chapels and governement buildings. While the model is often described as being 1:75 scale, it is strictly speaking not a scale model (like the other Moscow city model ) but a diorama which uses forced perspective so that the buildings at the rear are in a smaller scale than those at the front. The model is designed to be viewed from eye level near the center of the exhibit, so that a view from the balcony overlooking the model or from the sides betrays some of the distortion of the diminishing scale along the sides of the longer buildings.

There are some small people on the model, although they are not very noticeable at first. Here a tiny line of visitors is waiting to see Lenin in his Mausoleum . A speck of dust makes it look like some visitors are playing with a soccer ball just outside the tomb, though I doubt that's what is intended.

The magnificent Spasskaya Tower of the Kremlin features a tiny light-up star at its peak. I'm not sure if the clock on the model works. At this scale it would be about 3 inches wide, bigger than a wristwatch and easy enough to place a working mechanism inside.

A close up of several of the many little domes of the chapels of the Kremlin. The Kremlin Armory is on the left.

At the far end of Red Square is the State Historical Museum. Viewed from the balcony, the distortion of the forced perspective is noticeable, although the transition from 3D model to 2D painted backdrop is well done and not very noticeable at all. Just to the right of the Historical Museum is the site of the Resurrection Gate which was torn down by Stalin in 1931 to give military parades easier access to Red Square. A little farther to the right is the site of the Kazan Cathedral, also torn down in 1936. Both the gate and the cathedral were reconstructed from historical documents in the early 1990s.

On the far right of the model is the front half of the huge Rossiya Hotel, which was the world's largest with 3200 rooms. In 1977 the hotel must have seemed a wonder worth including in the diorama, but in later years it was much reviled for its bulk and ugliness. The hotel was torn down in 2006.

Although the model only includes the areas around the Kremlin and Red Square, the painted backdrop does show far away areas of the city. And there is where we are! For a few moments the audio guide spotlights the current location of the Panorama of Moscow at the Hotel Ukraina, one of the Seven Sisters skyscrapers built in 1957, the tallest hotel in Europe.

The Panorama of Moscow is a real masterwork of diorama art and it's fortunate that the hotel has given it a fine presentation here to keep it on display for the public.

While we want to be known for our professional customer service, punctuality, clean coaches, and friendly staff, those things don’t mean much if you aren’t safe. That’s why maintenance checks, routine inspections, and repairs are a non-negotiable priority for our business. And when it comes to drivers, we only hire the best.
