Budapest and Vienna are a happy combination, allowing you to compare the imperial cities of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and see how they thrive today. First you will have three nights to explore Budapest, where the Danube River winds past Buda, situated on the hills, and Pest, the flat commercial district offering exciting shopping and many of the government institutions. You will enjoy Budapest's monuments lit up at night, its unique heritage and folk music, and its remarkable cuisine, then hop a train off to Vienna, where you will have another three delightful nights. Vienna offers imperial grandeur in the form of its famous opera house and Schonbrunn Palace, but there is also a coffeehouse at every turn and you will have time to listen for the echoes of the great masters who lived and worked here, from Mozart to Strauss and everyone in between.

This fascinating city will capture your heart as well as your imagination. By day winding cobblestone streets and grand tree-lined boulevards welcome you. By night the lights on the monuments and bridges gleam in the dark like jewels. With this six night package you're sure to discover antique-filled flea markets, fascinating book stores and inviting cafes while the museums and concerts delight your eyes and ears.

Discover central Europe with this nine night package. With round trip airfare, hotel accommodations and 2nd class rail included, there won't be anything left to worry about except having fun! Get a taste of what Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg and Prague have to offer or extend your stay to further explore each city in depth.
