    Visit the Jewish Quarter in the morning before taking the 3-hour drive to Brno. Visit Špilberk Castle for great city views and explore the underground labyrinth under the Vegetable Market. Bring a jacket since it stays cool underground all year.

    Leave early to cross Slovakia. You'll need about 2 hours to see Bratislava's Old Town highlights. Stop in Trenčín for lunch. The 4-hour drive to Krakow goes through mountain areas. Take a seat on the right side of the bus to see the High Tatras.

  • Days 1-3

    Prague

    Begin your Central European adventure in Prague. Plan an early arrival on Day 1 to make the most of your time. The airport transfer usually takes 30 minutes, but morning traffic can stretch it to an hour. Visit Old Town Square in the evening when crowds are smaller and the buildings glow under night lighting. Get to Prague Castle before 9 AM on Day 3 to avoid the tour groups. Take a Vltava River cruise in late afternoon when the sunlight creates perfect photo opportunities at Charles Bridge.

    
  • Day 4

    Bratislava and Trenčín

    Start with a 4-hour morning drive to Bratislava. You'll need about 3 hours to see Bratislava's old town on foot since everything is close together. In Trenčín, make sure to wear good walking shoes for the castle visit. The cobblestone path gets slippery in wet weather. The final 4-hour drive brings you to Krakow by evening.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Krakow Region

    Start exploring Krakow's Market Square by 8:30 AM. If you visit Wieliczka Salt Mine, bring warm clothes as it stays at 57°F (14°C) all year. Day 6 includes visits to sobering historical sites like Auschwitz. Bring water and sunscreen since most of the tour is outside without much shade.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Wrocław to Northern Poland

    The canals in Wrocław look best at sunset. Visit Poznań's Market Square at noon to watch the mechanical goats. After a 3-hour drive to Toruń, you can photograph the medieval walls in the soft late afternoon light.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Warsaw

    Explore Warsaw's carefully reconstructed Old Town. As one local visitor noted: "Early morning walks through Łazienki Park are magical - look for red squirrels and peacocks near the Palace on the Isle." Stay in Śródmieście for quick access to both historic and modern Warsaw.
