Rolling through Austria's Imperial capital and Czech Republic's historic towns, this week-long tour showcases Vienna's Spanish Riding School, Lednice's UNESCO gardens, Mikulov's wineries, and Prague's Jewish Quarter. Rail travel and guided tours included.
- Day 1
Budapest, Hungary
Begin in Budapest's Castle District. Take the funicular up Castle Hill early to avoid crowds, then visit Fisherman's Bastion. Spend your afternoon walking through Pest to see the Parliament and St. Stephen's Basilica. One traveler shared: "The evening view from the Chain Bridge was magical - go around sunset when the Parliament building lights up."
- Day 2
Budapest to Bratislava
A 3-hour bus ride takes you to Bratislava. Plan extra time for border checks. Your afternoon is perfect for exploring Old Town including Michael's Gate and the Main Square. Want great city views? Visit the UFO observation deck on the SNP Bridge before dusk for excellent photos of the castle and Soviet-era buildings.
- Day 3
Vienna Day Trip
Take an early train to Vienna (1 hour from Bratislava). Walk through the city to see Hofburg Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. You can return by boat on the Danube (€30, 2 hours) but book early. A recent visitor noted: "Taking the boat back to Bratislava gave us beautiful riverside views of both cities, much better than the train."
- Day 4
Wine Country & Mikulov
Travel by train and bus to the Czech wine region. The UNESCO Lednice-Valtice grounds need comfortable walking shoes and water. Visit Mikulov's Jewish Cemetery (modest dress required) and learn about Moravian wines through local tastings.
- Day 5
Prague Arrival
The train to Prague takes 4.5 hours with one connection. Pack light for easy platform changes. Once you arrive, walk through Old Town to see the Astronomical Clock and Jewish Quarter. Staying near Charles Bridge puts you close to everything.
- Day 6
Prague Exploration
Start early at Prague Castle (opens 8:00 AM) before crowds appear. In the afternoon, visit Konopište Castle by train (€3 transport, €8 entry) or check out the Nuclear Bunker Museum. One traveler suggests: "Skip the overpriced restaurants on Old Town Square - head to Vinohrady neighborhood for authentic Czech food at half the price."
- Day 7
Prague Departure
Got a late flight? Leave your bags at the hotel and spend the morning shopping on Wenceslas Square or walking through Letná Park for great views of the Vltava River.
7 Days in Central Europe, incl. Prague and Vienna
The Baroque splendor of Prague leads to Austria's cultural jewels on this 7-day tour. Walk through Prague Castle, sail the Vltava River, wander Mozart's Salzburg, and admire Vienna's grand boulevards. Evening transfers to authentic dining districts included.
- Days 1-2
Prague
Start at Old Town Square and plan to arrive before 6 PM to avoid peak tourist hours. Book your dinner ahead since restaurants near the square get booked quickly in summer. On day two, visit Prague Castle early at 8:30 AM before the crowds arrive. Take your included Vltava River boat ride in the afternoon when sunlight creates better photo opportunities.
- Day 3
Prague to Munich to Innsbruck
This is a full travel day. The drive to Munich takes about 4 hours where you'll have 3 hours to explore. Go straight to Marienplatz for lunch and quick sightseeing. Another 2-hour drive brings you to Innsbruck. Plan to reach the Golden Roof area between 6-8 PM when the dinner scene is most active.
- Day 4
Innsbruck to Salzburg
Visit the Swarovski Museum early before tour buses arrive. The drive to Kitzbühel is roughly 1.5 hours on mountain roads that slow down in winter. Travelers visiting from December to March should pack snow boots since the historic center gets icy. You'll reach Mozart's hometown of Salzburg by evening.
- Day 5
Salzburg to Traunsee to Vienna
Explore Salzburg's Renaissance center in the morning. Good walking shoes are essential for the uphill castle area. The route to St. Wolfgang offers beautiful lake views. Take the included Traunsee Lake cruise to see four castles. Sit on the right side of the boat for the best views. It's a 3-hour drive to Vienna afterward.
- Day 6
Vienna
Take the morning city tour to get familiar with Vienna's grand boulevards. Spend the afternoon exploring on your own using the city's excellent public transport system. A 24-hour pass costs about $8. In the evening head to Grinzing wine village. A recent visitor shared: "The Heurigen (wine taverns) in Grinzing provide a more authentic experience than the tourist-heavy city center spots. Try arriving before 7 PM to get a table without reservations."
- Day 7
Vienna Departure
Morning flights need extra time because of Vienna's rush hour traffic which can add 30 minutes to your airport journey. If you have a late flight consider storing luggage at your hotel to enjoy one final morning in the city.
7 Days in Central Europe, incl. Prague and Vienna
Three nights each at Prague's Lunik Hotel and Vienna's Ibis Wien Mariahilf form the base for this weeklong adventure. Visit Prague's Church of Saint Nicholas and Old Town Square before discovering Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace and Ringstraße monuments.
- Day 1
Prague Arrival
Arrive at Václav Havel Airport Prague and take a 30-minute car ride into the city center. Try to book a morning flight since afternoon traffic near Old Town can get heavy. After checking into your hotel in the central district spend your evening exploring Old Town Square.
- Day 2
Historic Prague
Start your day early with a guided walking tour of Prague's main sites. Visit Old Town Square before 9am to avoid crowds and get clear photos of the Astronomical Clock. One traveler shared: "The guides possessed intensive knowledge about the cities along with kindness and wit - their personal attention made all the difference." After finishing at Kampa have lunch near Charles Bridge and explore Malá Strana (Lesser Town) at your own pace.
- Day 3
Prague Castle & Jewish Quarter
Visit Prague Castle when it opens at 9am to avoid the crowds. The castle hill is steep so wear good walking shoes. Spend your afternoon in the Jewish Quarter (Josefov). For evening entertainment look for classical concerts in historic churches. Book tickets online instead of from street vendors to get better prices.
- Day 4
Prague to Vienna
Take the morning train to Vienna (4 hours). First-class cars offer comfortable seats and food service. From Vienna's Hauptbahnhof station head to your hotel. Get to know the city by walking around the Ringstrasse boulevard to see Vienna's impressive architecture.
- Day 5
Imperial Vienna
Start your morning with a city tour from the Vienna State Opera. The Schönbrunn Palace tour involves lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes and bring water if visiting in summer. One visitor noted: "Prague and Vienna are beautiful cities but I would not recommend visiting in summer - they were both very crowded and hot during July."
- Day 6
Cultural Vienna
Visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum when it opens at 10am to see beautiful morning light through the dome. Check schedules for performances at the Musikverein or State Opera if you enjoy classical music. Good opera tickets usually cost €50-80. Visit coffee houses early or late in the day since they get crowded mid-morning.
- Day 7
Vienna Departure
Take an early morning walk by the Danube Canal if you have time before your flight. Airport transfers take 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. A helpful tip from a traveler: "Have WhatsApp available for easy communication with local contacts especially if you don't have a working phone."
