Overview
Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 7 Day Christmas in Eastern Europe: Zagreb to Budapest. Europe’s stunning architecture and charming cobblestone streets are legendary — but add twinkling lights, festive market stalls, and the scent of mulled wine in the air, and you’ve got pure magic. Hop from city to city on this immersive seven-day journey through Europe’s most enchanting Christmas markets, where the holiday spirit fills every square and every sip of warm spiced cider feels like a celebration.
Itinerary
Arrive at any time. After settling into your hotel, attend a welcome meeting in the evening with your CEO before heading out to see some of Zagreb's nearby sights en route to one of the city's Christmas Markets. Soak up the festive atmosphere and continue onwards for an optional dinner with the group. Stay: Hotel Central Zagreb
Welcome to Zagreb, the vibrant, culturally rich capital of Croatia known for historic palaces and cathedrals, a diverse culinary scene, and open air markets. Stay: Hotel Central Zagreb (B)
Ljubljana was named the European Green Capital in 2016 and boasts a mix of Baroque, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco architecture, nestled amongst lush green hills. Enjoy architect Jože Plečnik's vision, through picturesque bridges and the impressive Central Market Stay: B&B Hotel Ljubljana Park (B)
Graz is a charming and relatively undiscovered Austrian town where stunning Christmas markets await. At its heart is Hauptplatz, the medieval old town’s main square. Shops and restaurants line the narrow surrounding streets, which blend Renaissance and baroque architecture. A funicular leads up Schlossberg, the town hill, to the Uhrturm, a centuries-old clock tower. Across the River Mur, futuristic Kunsthaus Graz exhibits contemporary. If you're looking to shop, Eiserne Tor is the right place to be. This market is run exclusively by local charity organizations and the proceeds go to selected charity projects. Stay: Austria Trend Hotel Europa Graz (B)
Climb aboard a train and travel across another border into Hungary, through the countryside to Budapest. After some time to settle in to the hotel, set off with your CEO on foot and by public transport to see some of the city's most iconic and historic landmarks. Finish off at the local Christmas markets in the evening and enjoy the rest of the evening at leisure. (B)
Today is yours to discover Budapest on your own. Perhaps return to the Christmas Markets, visit the halls of the famous Parliament, take a walk around the Fisherman's Bastion, or take a boat cruise along the Danube. Regroup in the evening for an optional final dinner with the group. (B)
Depart at any time. (B)
