Days 1–3: Budapest
Hungary’s capital is made up of two distinct areas, Buda and Pest, separated by the Danube River. Depending on your arrival time, you might have some leisure time before setting out on the included guided tour.
- Heroes’ Square: The centerpiece of this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the Millennium Monument, a 118-foot obelisk surrounded by sculptures of influential figures from Hungarian history. The city’s Museum of Fine Arts is steps away.
- Fisherman’s Bastion cuts an imposing figure with its seven whitewashed stone towers. This is also where you’ll find some of the best views of Pest.
- Optional tour: Guided tour of the Hungarian Parliament, St. Stephen’s Basilica, and the Great Market Hall ($60–$71)
Days 4–6: Vienna
You’ll also cruise Vienna’s Ringstrasse, a boulevard that encircles the city, passing the Maria-Theresien-Platz public square along the way.
- See the Palace: Perhaps the only European palace that could compete with Versailles, Schonbrunn Palace once served as an exclusive summer getaway for Hapsburg royalty. The grounds include labyrinthine gardens, a zoo, and a castle filled with more than 1,000 Rococo-style rooms.
- The Vienna State Opera has been a major music hall since it was built in 1896. It houses Gustav Mahler’s piano, as well as a bronze bust of the Austrian composer by Rodin.
- Optional tours: Listen to a Mozart and Strauss concert ($62–$76) or dine at a pleasant Vienna wine tavern ($83)
- Optional Bratislava tour: After some free time in Vienna, consider taking the optional historic tour of nearby Bratislava, Slovakia’s capital ($64).
Days 7–8: Prague
After Vienna, it’s off to the City of a Hundred Spires—Prague.
- Charles Bridge: More than two dozen baroque statues of Czech leaders top the balustrade of this iconic cobblestone bridge spanning the Vltava River.
- Astronomical Clock: Mounted on the Old Town City Hall, this medieval timepiece features an hourly show starring figures of Jesus and the Apostles.
