Come for the landscapes, stay for the cities, return for the way they start to blur. Austria has a way of catching you off-guard: just when you think it’s all alpine drama, a city like Vienna appears, baroque and brilliant, dressed in cobblestones. Tradition holds strong here, but not stiffly. We like to think that it dances, slowly, with design, with music, with a glass of Grüner in hand. Our luxury travel designers arrange it for you, one beautiful moment slipping into the next.
Austria doesn’t need to be reimagined. It’s a destination that makes it easy for us. Culture, calm, heritage, luxury, it’s all there, just beneath the surface. What matters is how you move through it. We make sure it feels like yours.
Austria: What to see and where to go
Step into palaces glowing with gold leaf and crystal chandeliers. Sip coffee in salons where Freud and Klimt once sat, then discover modern galleries tucked behind baroque façades. Listen as a quartet rehearses behind an open door, and feel time folding in on itself.
Explore Renaissance courtyards, baroque palaces, and avant-garde architecture coexisting in quiet harmony. Sample local dishes in hidden taverns and discover boutiques where craftsmanship meets modern style.
Drift down the Danube past terraced vineyards and hilltop monasteries. Taste crisp Grüner Veltliner in cellars carved into stone, and stroll medieval villages where apricot trees bloom against pastel houses.
Breathe mountain air scented with pine and meadow flowers. Hike trails that wind past wooden chalets and glassy lakes, or ski fresh powder on slopes framed by snowy peaks. End your day with spa rituals that blend alpine herbs and pure spring water.
Austria, your way
These are the first brushstrokes of your journey: a feast laid out in a Tbilisi courtyard, polyphonic songs rising over the Caucasus, qvevri wine poured in a mountain village. From here, our team ensures every experience is seamlessly arranged, until it feels less like an itinerary and more like travel that’s meant just for you.
There’s something about staying in luxury that makes you want to unwind for longer. Our travel designers can let you in to luxury stays in Georgia and around the world. They can take you through a vineyard in Napa where every glass of wine is poured with intention. Get you to return to a luxury camp after a safari on foot, your mind still echoing with the sounds of the wild. The right stay isn’t just where you rest-it’s where the experience begins.
Footprint GemsThe most remarkable places and experiences aren’t always on a map or in a guidebook. Some are reserved for those who know where to look. Curated exclusively by our travel artisans, these are trips that’ll stay with you long after you return.
Misty mountains. Timeless castles. Windswept lochs. This exclusive Footprint journey across Scotland blends the romance of its ancient myths with the thrill of discovering them for yourself. From ghostly alleyways in Edinburgh to soaring seaplanes over the Western Isles, from medieval vaults to private whisky tastings, every step carries a story
Take Me There
From sky-high views over Bosphorus waters to barefoot dances under the Greek sun, this is a journey made for celebration. It blends the thrill of discovery with the warmth of shared time, moving through legendary cities and island escapes with elegance and flair. For SYACHI, it’s not just about the places you visit, it’s how each moment is crafted to feel worthy of who you are and what you’re marking together.
Take Me There This journey is a refined detour. A few days that feel like a week, marked by fine engines, richer vintages, and a stretch of Germany where indulgence is an art form. With a Ferrari Roma as your carriage and Michelin stars as your compass, Footprint curates a break that moves with purpose and rests with style. In the land of timbered towns, wooded trails, and vineyards older than memory, this exclusive Footprint experience is as much about the drive as the destination.
Take Me There 
This is not a safari that fits into a single frame. It stretches across plains, peaks, lakes, and forest, each place different, each moment dialled into nature’s rhythm. From the rim of Ngorongoro to the heart of Katavi, from chimpanzee trails in Mahale to fireside meals under open sky, this Footprint journey offers rare access to Tanzania’s wildest corners. Comfort meets raw beauty. Silence meets the call of the wild. And no two days are ever the same.
Take Me There A journey of contrasts, stitched together by craft, movement, and memory. From Kyoto’s still gardens and shrines to the kinetic energy of Tokyo, each place reveals a different side of Japan’s beauty. You’ll glide across volcanic lakes, walk through orange torii trails, taste the umami of wagyu grilled to perfection, and follow cherry blossoms from one town to the next. With Footprint, every transition feels seamless, and every moment is made to stay.
Take Me There October in Japan feels alive. Leaves begin to blaze red and gold. Cities shift gears. Shrines fill with festivals and food stalls, and the trains move like clockwork from one striking contrast to the next. This journey is built around variety—temple trails, bullet train speed, rural calm, and urban energy. You’ll visit mountaintop monasteries, dine with precision in Kanazawa, walk among gassho-zukuri rooftops in Shirakawa-go, and lose track of time in the neon swirl of Osaka. With Footprint, every part is tuned to immerse you fully, with local guides, carefully chosen stays, and moments that connect experience to emotion.
Take Me There From Moorish palaces to Catalan masterpieces, flamenco footwork to chocolate still warm from the oven, Spain is a place that reveals its soul in flashes. Cities are layered with story and edge. Countryside retreats offer indulgence without interruption. This exclusive Footprint journey brings you into private estates, artist studios, bakeries, cathedrals, vineyards, and cliffside villages, each one with a reason to stay longer than planned. Every day has been curated to surprise you with a new flavour, a different perspective, and a moment you’ll want to relive.
Take Me There Forget the maps. You’ll know you’re in the right place when the asphalt glints like glass and the horizon dares you forward. This isn’t just a drive. It’s Andalusia’s white villages flashing past your window, Portugal’s Douro carved below your wheels, and the kind of torque that makes your pulse match the engine. Every stop is curated. Every curve asks for more. From Michelin-starred lunches to vineyard landings by helicopter, this route is all thrill, no compromise.
Take Me There A story that begins in the mountains and ends in the vineyards, where each day folds into the next with a view worth stopping for. You’ll walk through alpine wildflower meadows, sip white wine beside medieval abbeys, and travel from the Dolomites to the Langhe with a few carefully chosen stops in between. It’s about experiencing the raw and the refined sides of Italy, curated in a way that gives you both alpine air and Barolo tannins.
Take Me There North India rewards curiosity. It pulls you into a swirl of sound and stone, scent and story. Mughal grandeur rises above the bustle, while forts appear like mirages across the desert plains. This is not just a journey through monuments but through moments. You’ll dine on rooftops where the Taj glows golden, follow craftsmen whose hands carry generations of knowledge, and stay in palaces that still echo with the past. Footprint curates each day so you don’t just visit India, you are placed in it.
Take Me There This journey is shaped for two, but it stays with you long after. You’ll move through Italy with ease and intention, from Milan’s rooftop grandeur to Capri’s island grace. Every element is chosen for its character: the cellar where your wine was aged, the terrace where you dine above the coast, the rooftop where the city shifts at golden hour. Helicopter rides, hands-on cooking, heritage hotels, and cliffside dinners, this is the Italy people dream of, but rarely access with such precision. With Footprint, these moments are exclusively within your reach.
Take Me There This is Greece the way it should be felt: storied, and sunlit. You’ll start in Athens, where the past stands shoulder to shoulder with modern life, then follow the line of the coast down to the myth-draped Mani Peninsula. After that, it’s island time. Hydra’s beauty is effortless, Spetses a final, sea-laced crescendo. This exclusive Footprint journey is strung together by powerful moments: rooftop dinners lit by the Acropolis, boat rides into ancient caves, the taste of freshly caught octopus grilled at the edge of the Aegean. Every day builds toward something you didn’t see coming.
Take Me There Tucked deep in the Finnish Arctic, this journey unfolds in a world where the air sharpens your senses and the landscape feels untouched. Your time is shaped by fire and frost, by husky trails and hot saunas, by skies that shift from inky blue to brilliant green. At Octola, privacy isn’t a promise, it’s a way of being. The forest waits just beyond your door, and everything from the chef’s menu to the night’s timing adjusts to the way the weather moves. There are no crowds. No schedules you need to follow. Just presence.
Take Me There Some places shift your pace. Others awaken your instinct. In Kenya, it’s both. From the acacia-dotted landscapes of Lewa to the drama of the Mara and the breezy pull of Diani’s white-sand coast, this journey is a Footprint favourite for the way it brings you close to the wild, and the wild even closer. It’s perfect for family or solo travel, and when you book it with us, you'll experience it in a way only a few others have.
Take Me There In the Andean highlands, ancient stones still carry whispers of empire. Across the Pacific, sea lions and penguins sun themselves side by side on volcanic shores. This Footprint experience moves between two of the world’s most astonishing ecosystems with a rhythm that gives each its due. Think sacred citadels, myth-rich valleys, and a yacht expedition through islands that reshaped science. Travel in style, guided by experts who know when to pause, when to push forward, and how to make access feel effortless.
Take Me There Where land meets sea, and safari turns into coastline, this journey across South Africa is designed to thrill, ground, and awaken. You’ll move through some of the most dramatic terrain on the continent, where elephants graze near riverbeds and seals bask below cliffs, where fynbos and vineyards thrive beside the ocean. This is a Footprint exclusive experience that brings together the grandeur of the wild with the pleasures of fine taste, playful adventure, and a coastline that refuses to be forgotten.
Take Me There 
In this part of Italy, beauty doesn’t boast. It sits in the shape of the hills, in the echo of a cork being pulled, in the scent of truffles after rain. The rhythm of this journey moves between cellars and castles, Michelin stars and hidden gardens, where taste becomes memory and every glass tells a story. With Footprint, you are placed not just in luxury, but in the places that hold its roots.
Take Me There There are landscapes that command awe. And then there’s Ladakh, where silence is not absence but presence, felt in glacial lakes that shift with the light, in monasteries carved into stone, and in the long pause before a yak lifts its gaze. This is a place that changes you in increments: through altitude, through stillness, through the clarity of cold air. And the way our luxury travel designers shape it, it reveals a side of Ladakh that eludes any other itinerary out there.
Take Me There It begins with the stillness of Lake Geneva and ends where Mozart's notes echo off Baroque façades. This exclusive Footprint luxury experience moves through Alpine passes and past medieval castles, exciting glacier trails and chocolate workshops, silent abbeys and lively lakesides. What ties it all together is the geography, yes, but also a shared sense of wonder. Our luxury travel designers shape this Footprint exclusive journey and plan it in a way that you get the best of everything Switzerland has to offer.
Take Me There Before you sail east, you meet Dr. Lawrence Blair. Filmmaker, adventurer, and the kind of storyteller who once guided Mick Jagger across the Indonesian archipelago, Blair brings a way of seeing. He’ll bookend your journey, and as a Footprint destination specialist, he ensures that every detail on this journey is handpicked.
Take Me There In the Adriatic, cities rise from rock, coastlines carve bold arcs into the sea, and the water flashes like glass beneath the sun. This exclusive Footprint journey begins in Dubrovnik, where ancient walls meet the crash of waves and every corner reveals a new perspective. It moves through Mostar and island-dotted bays, into Montenegro’s dramatic terrain, where monasteries perch above gorges and old towns burst to life with colour and sound. What makes this a Footprint gem is how little of it is left to chance. Every stay is personally selected, every boat and border crossing arranged to match your pace. You’ll experience the Adriatic in a way that’s immersive and full of momentum, with days shaped by instinct, insight, and the kind of access that takes years to refine.
