Czech Republic
Prague's Gothic spires, Bohemian castles, incredible beer culture, and one of Europe's most photogenic cities.
Overview
About this package
Nine days through Central Europe's grandest cities — Prague's fairy-tale spires and astronomical clock, Vienna's opulent Habsburg palaces and coffeehouse culture, and Budapest's thermal baths steaming beside the Danube. Connected by comfortable rail, this is imperial Europe at its most theatrical, without a single long-haul flight between stops. Add a Belvedere Palace visit to see Klimt's masterworks and a Fisherman's Bastion sunset in Budapest, and nine days trace three empires without a single long-haul flight.
