Worldwide Escorted Bus Tours & River Cruises
Prague, Vienna & Budapest
The rediscovered jewels of Imperial Europe are the focus of this popular vacation, which includes overnights in Munich, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, and Salzburg. In Prague, see the tolling of the Astronomical Clock, when a medieval figure of death emerges to pull the bell cord. Operating for over six centuries, this is a highlight of any trip to Prague. Also enjoy the sights, sounds, and tastes of Vienna—maybe sit in a café with a piece of scrumptious Sachertorte while listening to a legendary waltz or explore the inside of St. Stephen’s Cathedral with its Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Even more fabulous architecture awaits in Budapest, the “Paris of the East,” where you’ll see the 11th-century Matthias Coronation Church, which has witnessed coronations and royal weddings alike.April 18 departure - Easter WeekDec 5 & Dec 12 departures include visits to Nuremberg, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg Christmas marketsDec 20 departure - Christmas lunch in Budapest
