Important info

The trip will be conducted in Italian, with some activities in English. Bring your curiosity and comfortable shoes—Vienna and its surroundings will surprise you with their beauty, in the relaxed and unique style of ORMA! Alice will travel by train, and anyone who wishes to join her is welcome to take the journey together, enjoying the scenery and the company. Be prepared to walk a lot, as we will explore the city on foot to uncover its most captivating corners. If anyone prefers to participate in certain activities in Vienna or Bratislava independently, they are free to do so, managing their own time outside and inside the group itinerary.
