Berlin 

Your trip starts off in Berlin––Germany’s capital city and the country’s cultural epicenter. Be sure to see its historic landmarks, which include the stately Reichstag building and the Brandenburg Gate, a neoclassical arch that was inspired by the Acropolis in Athens.

• Museumsinsel occupies most of little Spree Island. The island’s five-museum complex includes Neues Museum and the Alte Nationalgalerie, which displays paintings by Claude Monet and sculptures by Rodin.
• Volkspark Friedrichshain: This park’s centerpiece, Marchenbrunnen, is a massive carved fountain adorned with statues depicting frolicking fairytale and fantasy characters. See if you can identify them all.
• Eat like a local: What do you get when you slather hunks of grilled kielbasa with a zesty blend of curry powder, ketchup, and Worcester sauce? Curry wurst––one of Berlin’s most popular street foods.  

Prague

Prague’s skyline isn’t like that of your average capital city; you won’t see many skyscrapers. Look at Prague from overhead and you’ll see its cityscape dominated by thousands of spires atop historical churches and buildings on the banks of the Vltava River.

• Charles Bridge: More than two dozen statues of Czech leaders top the balustrade of this iconic cobblestone bridge spanning the Vltava River.
• Strings attached: Don’t miss the marionette performance of Don Giovanni or the Magic Flute, as written by Mozart, and performed by intricately designed dolls at the National Marionette Theatre.
• Eat like a local: Nibble on zelo, a sugared cabbage leaf that’s Prague’s answer to sauerkraut.

Budapest

Located on the banks of the Danube, Budapest is actually two cities rolled into one—Buda and Pest—that were united in 1873. In addition to having a rich history, Hungary’s capital city is frequently cited as one of the world’s most beautiful. The Castle District is especially picturesque; head here to roam meandering cobblestone streets lined with centuries-old buildings such as Matthias Church and the Royal Palace. 

• Gellert Hill: Take in sweeping views of the city and visit the 19th-century Citadel.
• Fisherman’s Bastion cuts an imposing figure with its seven whitewashed stone towers; this is where you’ll find some of the best views of Pest.
• Eat like a local: According to Conde Nast Traveler, you shouldn’t even think of leaving the Hungarian capital until you’ve had the local version of goulash, especially if it’s liberally sweetened with paprika and paired with a robust red wine.
