Tour Highlights

On this tour of Central Europe’s cultural capitals, you’ll be free to roam the same streets as Mozart, Freud, Kafka, and Liszt. Each stop includes an introductory half-day tour, but the rest of the time is yours. Maybe you’ll grab a pint at the Czech Beer Museum, eat a sacher torte at the opulent Vienna hotel of the same name, or soak away stress in one of Budapest’s famed mineral baths. If you don’t feel like planning, don’t worry; there are plenty of optional tours to choose from, too.

• Prague: Prague is nicknamed the City of a Thousand Spires for its multitude of church and palace towers rising high above the Vltava River. The best way to see that waterway is from the Charles Bridge, which has built in the 14th century. You can get a panoramic view of the city from the Petrin Lookout Tower, a hilltop structure that looks like a mini Eiffel Tower.
• Vienna: Located on the banks of the Danube in northeastern Austria, Vienna has a rich and royal heritage. The Hofburg Imperial Palace is a must-see for any visitor. It has a collection of exquisite linens, dishware, and centerpieces used by the royal family for centuries.
• Budapest: Located on the banks of the Danube, Budapest is actually two cities rolled into one—Buda and Pest—that were united in 1873. 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.
• Optional tours: Prague folklore dinner and entertainment ($78 per person); Prague evening walking and boat tour ($55 per person); Czech beer and tapas walking tour ($35 per person); Strauss and Mozart concert with or without four-course dinner (starting at $340/person with dinner; starting at $125/person without dinner); Vienna history tour with Schonbrunn Palace visit ($96 per person); Budapest folklore show and Danube dinner cruise ($88 per person); Godollo Castle excursion ($68 per person); Budapest walking tour ($40 per person).
