Prague
You’ll become convinced that Prague is one of Europe’s most attractive cities on our guided tour this morning. Prague Castle is a fantastic monument to Czech history, displaying its story through the complex of architectural styles that’s accumulated within its walls since the 9th century. This afternoon is at leisure for further sightseeing.

Prague
Today is at leisure. Perhaps admire the city’s magnificent baroque and Romanesque architecture or simply enjoy the views from the banks of the River Vltava. You’ll also notice the city has a fine cultural tradition going back centuries - Haydn, Beethoven, Liszt and Mozart all spent time in Prague; and it was here that Figaro was first acclaimed and Don Giovanni received its first performance.

Vienna
This morning we visit Schönbrunn Palace, a building of architectural splendour, commissioned as a summer residence by Emperor Leopold I for his son Josef I. Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, spent her childhood there; and it’s said that Mozart astonished the court with his musical performance at the tender age of six. Decorated in the Rococo style of the 18th century, the apartments are adorned with frescoes, crystal chandeliers, priceless tapestries, and furniture. In the courtyard stands the Wagenburg Museum, showing numerous coaches and sleighs from the Imperial era. We return to the city centre, where the remainder of the day is free to further explore this fascinating and historic city.

Vienna - Bratislava - Budapest
We journey to Bratislava for free time in Slovakia’s capital. It has many fine buildings - its baroque and rococo palaces are as elegant as any in Vienna. Late afternoon, we arrive in the beautiful city of Budapest. The plains of Pest are divided from the hilly area of Buda by the scenic River Danube, which inspired writers, artists and musicians for centuries. In Buda, Gellert Hill affords a wonderful view of the city, river and mountains. On the Pest side are the Parliament buildings and the National Museum, which contain remarkable treasures including the oldest skull yet found in Europe and Liszt’s gold baton.

Budapest
Explore the city independently today. Perhaps visit the bustling market hall, or relax and people watch with a coffee in Vörösmarty Square. The city takes on a different perspective at night, so we’ve arranged a wonderful cruise along the River Danube, regarded locally as the main thoroughfare.
