What's this trip about?

    On this splendid Central Europe tour, you’ll discover parts of the former Habsburg Empire. Your tour starts in Prague and ends in Budapest. You’ll overnight in some of Central Europe's most exciting cities: Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Expert Local Guides share the history and secrets of each of these unique cities on the included sightseeing tours. Among the sights you will see in Prague are Charles Bridge, dating to 1357 and one of the oldest stone bridges in Europe, and the Astronomical Clock. In Budapest, see the Parliament building, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered one of the world’s most beautiful parliament buildings, as well as Fishermen’s Bastion, which overlooks the city and the Danube. In Vienna, view the Hofburg, the palatial complex and the political focal point for the Hapsburgs. You’ll have time on your own in Vienna to sit in a café with a piece of scrumptious Sachertorte, or explore the inside of St. Stephen’s Cathedral with its Romanesque and gothic architecture. You’ll also stop in Bratislava, Slovakia’s capital city, to venture discovering its highlights, such as the castle, a dominant feature of the city for centuries. Vibrant cities and historic sights—along with some beautiful scenery of the Danube River—make this an exciting tour through Central Europe for value-minded travel lovers.
