Overview
The rediscovered
jewels of Imperial Europe are the focus of this very popular vacation,
starting and ending in Munich, Germany. Since the reunion of Western and
Eastern Europe, Prague and Budapest are among the most-visited cities on
the “Old Continent.” On your sightseeing tour, visit Prague’s Jewish
Quarter, Charles Bridge, and the Bohemian atmosphere of Town Hall Square
with the world-famous Astronomical Clock. In Budapest, experience
Fishermen’s Bastion and the Royal Castle on your sightseeing tour, as
well as a romantic promenade along the banks of the Danube. Add to this
the sights, sounds, and tastes of Vienna, Austria’s capital. Maybe sit in
a café and indulge in a scrumptious Sachertorte while listening to a
legendary waltz. Other stops along the road are medieval Nuremberg and
Mozart’s Salzburg. Enchanting natural scenery includes the Austrian Alps
and the Danube River Valley, an amazing ending to a marvelous vacation.
