About this trip
Four cities in eight days, moving from Budapest through Bratislava and Vienna to Prague, with a local guide showing you round each stop.
Expect castles, old town squares and riverside walks rather than one long coach itinerary, plus a train ride into Austria and a cruise back along the Danube.
A stop at Chateau Lednice adds a UNESCO-listed garden walk between the big-city sightseeing.
What you'll do
- Wander round Fisherman's Bastion in Budapest
- Cross the Charles Bridge and explore Prague's Jewish Quarter and Astronomical Clock
- Take the train into Vienna and see the city's main sights
- Cruise back along the Danube River
- Walk through the UNESCO-listed castle grounds at Chateau Lednice
- Stop off in Bratislava en route
- You change base most nights as you move through four cities
