This text tries to show the difference between travelling and tourism using the example of the 19th century aristocrat, Prince Emanuel Collalto e San Salvatore (1854–1952). Based on the distinction of James Buzzard and Jean- Didier Urbain, his touristic activities, that is travelling for travelling, are separated from the classical aristocratic journeys and stays. His life and family situation are described at the beginning, then the space is devoted to his travel activities. The tourist activities follow. In the conclusion his tourist activities are set in the context of other aristocrats and his case is suggested to be an example of an aristocratic tourist, as opposed to an aristocratic traveller.
