The superb cities of Prague, Vienna and Budapest are modern, fascinating and dazzling. Prague is a delightful metropolis, full of energy, music, art and a magical array of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes. Vienna is a city of music, cafes, waltzes, parks, pastries and wine: a true cosmopolitan city. And Budapest, formed in 1873 as a union of the cities of Buda, Pest and Óbuda, is defined by the River Danube and filled with a wealth of culture, history and natural beauty.
This independent getaway lets you explore these three enchanting cities according to your interests and at your own pace. Hotel stays, train travel and a city sightseeing tour in each city are all prearranged but the rest is up to you! English-speaking hosts in Prague, Vienna and Budapest will be glad to offer advice on excursions, dining and entertainment.
Your included city tours will show you the highlights of each city then allow plenty of time for exploring on your own. In Prague, see Wenceslas Square, the Royal Castle of Hradcany, St. Vitus Cathedral and the Jewish Ghetto.
