Overview
Itinerary
Tonight after an included dinner, there's the option to get a panoramic view of Amsterdam. Then fun famed Amsterdam is yours to explore in all its glory. (D) Stay: Via Hostel Amsterdam (or similar)
Amsterdam is cute as a button & sure to win your heart with its canals, obscure museums & a cafe culture like no other. Today use your time to get local, bar hop, museum crawl, and see what other tastes take your fancy, this place is famous for pancakes, frites and so much more. Then, you have a chance to join a dinner at a local Dutch farm & an opportunity to cruise the famous canals and revel under the city lights. (B)
Amsterdam, it's been lovely, but today's agenda is onto the autobahn and on the fast-track to uber-cool Berlin. On the world map of party vibes, Berlin has a gold star. We've got two nights to explore every inch of this iconic city, and we'll start them off with a tour and a delicious dinner! After that, you're free to explore, and maybe even sample some of that legendary nightlife for yourself... (B/D) Stay: Generator Alexanderplatz (or similar)
Get into the mood of exploration with an optional historical walking tour where you'll discover 20th century Berlin (including Hitler's underground bunker & the Holocaust Memorial) with our local guide. Berlin has so much to offer the hungry traveller, from the obvious icons like Checkpoint Charlie to all the obscurities tucked away in the side streets.
This evening, you'll have the option to embark on an Alternative Berlin walking tour, taking us to all the city's hipster haunts. (B)
Berlin you've been a blast, but we're making tracks for new adventures today, jumping on the train to Prague. A drive from Berlin to Prague would not be complete without stopping in Dresden. Destroyed by World War II, the rebuilt town is now a symbol of resilience, soaked in the rebirthed beauty of an Opera house, the domed Frauenkirche, & the Royal Residence.
On arrival in the compact & lovable city of Prague, we'll get out and go exploring, seeing castles and cathedrals and learning of Bohemian Kings and gothic history. Tonight, you could see yourself spending the evening indulging in traditional Czech cuisine while admiring the local folklore dancers. (B) Stay: Plus Prague (or similar)
With a full day to loiter, expect an entire photo album of Gothic architecture, market antiques & you cheers-ing beer; not to mention life! Today, you have the chance to join a walking tour that strolls through the city's historic streets and checks out a few local landmarks. (B)
Today we exchange the Czech Republic for Austria, waving goodbye to pretty Prague knowing that cultured Vienna is coming right up. Austria, we have arrived! It's time to sign up for a dinner at Habibi & Hawara, and a classical concert to top it all off (both totally optional, should you prefer to spend your evening relaxing in style). (B) Stay: JO&JOE Vienna (or similar)
And with that, our epic adventure has sadly come to an end. Grab your breakfast, bid your farewells, and don't forget to swap contact deets - you never know when you'll be exploring a new spot together again. (B)
