Itinerary
Please make your own way to the joining hotel. We recommend arriving a day or two early to fully explore this world-renowned city. Stay: NH Berlin Alexanderplatz
Berlin is an amazing city with tangible historical importance and is a melting pot of different cultures and flavours. Stay: NH Berlin Alexanderplatz (B)
A great way to spend the evening is watching the sunset from the heights of the Letna Beer Garden, where you can sample Czech beer, world-famous for its superb quality and low cost. Stay: Miss Sophie's Downtown (B)
Charles Bridge by day is packed with vendors and street musicians. At night, it is less crowded, and it's much easier to appreciate the scenery as well as the ever-so-slightly sinister quality of the statues looming overhead. Cross the bridge and you'll find yourself in Mala Strana, a far less crowded district that offers the perfect atmosphere for some introspective wandering. If you're in the area and want to experience traditional Czech pubs which are guaranteed to be loud, lively, and packed with locals on any night of the week, this is the place for it. You'll find restaurants serving traditional Czech cuisine like fried pork cutlets, goulash, and dumplings. Stay: Miss Sophie's Downtown (B)
The inclusion of Ceský Krumlov on UNESCO's List of Natural and Cultural Heritage was undoubtedly a turning point in the modern history of the town. It sent a clear signal to the rest of the cultural world that South Bohemia has something unique to offer. Stay: Hotel Gold (B)
Cross the border into Austria, where you will join a local chef at the famed Naschmarkt, established in the 16th century as a marketplace for wooden milk bottles, sampling some of Vienna's finest delicacies as you explore the stalls and lanes. Enjoy free time this evening to see Vienna’s land-marked cathedral or simply enjoy a walk around the elegant capital. Stay: Elaya Hotel Vienna City West (B)
This morning, go on orientation walk around Vienna. Stop by a local café to pair a cup of rich Viennese coffee with a slice of the famed Sacher torte—a decadent chocolate and nougat confection historically linked to the city’s distinguished coffee houses. Then take in some of Europe's most distinguished art galleries, visit the stunning Lipizzaner horses of the renowned Spanish Riding School, experience mass with the Vienna Boys Choir, or settle into a café. Stay: Elaya Hotel Vienna City West (B)
You might like to have an optional dinner at a local restaurant on Váci Utca, which is the bustling main street of Budapest. Stay: Nemzeti Budapest MGallery Hotel (B)
We recommend staying a few extra days to experience all this city has to offer. (B)
