Budapest, Prague
& Vienna - Holiday Itinerary
DAY 1: UK to Belgium To Dover
for the ferry crossing to Calais, then into Belgium and on
to our hotel for dinner and an overnight stay. (D)
DAY 7: Danube Bend Our included full day excursion today is to the
Danube Bend, the great sweep that has carved
a path between the Visegrad and Borzsony
Mountains, one of the most beautiful stretches
of the Danube River. We travel via the
picturesque Baroque town of Szentendre,
whose skyline is dominated by seven churches,
before continuing to Visegrad, historically a
Roman stronghold. Our last stop, Esztergom, is
the seat of the Cardinal-Primate of Hungary and
offers a mighty domed cathedral, the largest
church in the country. (B,D)
DAY 2: Belgium to Bayreuth We travel
into Germany, to Bayreuth for an overnight at the Ramada Treff
Residenzschloss Hotel (3*). (B,D)
DAY 8: Budapest to Bratislava and
Prague We depart our hotel and drive across the
border into Slovakia, continuing via the capital,
Bratislava with its quaint old town. We travel
north into the Czech Republic to reach Prague,
the capital, where we settle into the Arcotel
Teatrino (4*) for the following two nights. (B,D)
DAY 3: Bayreuth to Vienna Into Austria and on
to Vienna for an overnight at the Ananas (4*). (B,D)
DAY 9: Prague A day
at leisure in which you may independently explore Prague.
Gold-tipped spires and Baroque domes bestow the city with
an ancient beauty, and much remains as it was in the 18th
century when Mozart composed here. Our optional guided city
tour will reveal all the history of this amazing city. Take
a stroll around the Old Town at your own pace and explore
the narrow cobbled streets where you will come across many
stunning buildings. The Old Town Hall, a charming Gothic building,
is the focal point of the town square. Make time to admire
the splendid views from the Charles Bridge and the flowing
Vltava River. (B,D)
DAY 4: Vienna An included guided sightseeing tour this
morning. You’ll see the Ringstrasse (or ‘Ring’),
which surrounds the inner city; the famous
Vienna State Opera House; the Spanish Riding
School, home to the white Lippizaner horses;
and the Schönbrunn Palace. Elegant streets and
pedestrian precincts, dotted with inviting coffee
shops, fan out from the main square where the
Gothic lines of St Stephen’s Cathedral form a
soaring backdrop. Afternoon at leisure to seek
out your favourite sights. Why not try one or
two of the local delicacies, such as Wiener
Schnitzel, Backhendl and dumplings, or discover
the Viennese tradition, the cafe, where coffee
and the famous Sachertorte should not be
missed. (B,D)
DAY 10: Prague to Erfurt We retrace
our steps to Germany, arriving at the Ramada Treff Erfurt
Hotel (4*), for an overnight stay. (B,D)
DAY 5: Vienna to Budapest We continue into Hungary to reach the capital, Budapest, with its grand old buildings and
sweeping bridges. Enjoy three nights at the
Hotel Budapest (4*). In the afternoon you can
join an optional guided city tour of Budapest to
see the main sights and get your bearings. (B,D)
DAY 11: Erfurt to N. France We travel to Northern
France, for our last night’s stay. (B,D)
DAY 6: Budapest A day
at leisure in which you may independently explore Budapest,
beautifully situated across the banks of the mighty Danube
River. This is a city of two distinct halves: the undeniably
romantic Buda, centred around the Castle Hill area; and the
busier Pest, with its wide elegant boulevards, joined together
by the great Chain Bridge of 1849. Much of the charm of a
visit to Budapest lies in unexpected glimpses into shadowy
courtyards and in long vistas down sunlit cobbled streets.
There will be an optional Danube river cruise. (B,D)
DAY 12: N. France to UK To Calais for the ferry
crossing to Dover, then home. (B)
