• When in Poland, fill up on favorites like kielbasa and pierogi. Don’t miss out on trying the bagels—they were born here.
• Slovakian cuisine shares many characteristics with its neighbors. Dishes are rooted in a history where villages had to be self-sufficient, and easy-to-preserve staples like wheat, potatoes, pork, onions, and sauerkraut remain favorites.

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind European experience, this trip is packed with all the culture, architecture, and sightseeing you’d expect with just enough castles, thermal spas, and cobblestones to let you know you’re onto something unique.

Picture yourself

Unwinding in a traditional Hungarian thermal spa

Sipping on the finest Austrian wine straight from the vineyard

Bar hopping through Budapests eclectic watering holes

Tapdancing your way through the cobblestone streets of Prague

Snapping selfies in front of the famous John Lennon Wall

What you'll get

Round-trip flights & airport transfers (or book 'em yourself)

9 nights in handpicked accommodations

8 breakfasts

Expert Tour Director

24/7 Support

3 insider tours with a local guide

Board your overnight flight, bound for Budapest. Sit back, relax, and try picking up Hungarian, one of the hardest languages to learn (it’s a lot more throaty for starters).

Welcome to Eastern Europe! Your Tour Director will be waiting at the airport when you arrive. Today is the day to adjust, make new friends and start the journey right.

In the evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner of local cuisine and drinks with fellow travelers at an authentic local spot. Afterwards, you’re free to take the party elsewhere!

Today's highlights:

• Land at the airport and meet a waiting EF representative.
• Transfer to your hotel to check in and check out your room.
• Get familiar with the area around your hotel with an introductory walk with your Tour Director.

Now that you’re rested from travels and acquainted with your group, shake off the culture shock with an in-depth look at the Pearl of the Danube.

• Tour Buda and Pest with a local guide to show you all the buda-best there is to see.
• Climb the imposing Castle Hill to see the city from the nearly 750-year-old Buda Castle.
• Hit the town like never before in the city’s grungy, eclectic nightlife scene.

Ease blissfully into Europe’s largest medicinal baths housed in one of the city's most ornate buildings. Enjoy the spa facilities, saunas, steam rooms, and 18 indoor and outdoor baths fed by hot springs. Plus, there’s beer. Why wait? Save money by booking this optional excursion before your trip departs.

Hope you’re Hungary for more, because today you have a free day in Budapest. Go for another soak in the thermal spas (or hit one you haven’t been to yet, there’s plenty, and they’re all unique!), chow down on local cuisine, and see the city however you see fit.

Free time suggestions

Chimney Cakes : Popular across all of Eastern Europe, these delicious and age-old treats are a Hungarian pastry specialty that’s a bit like American fried dough. Here they call them Kürtöskalács, so keep an eye out and a sweet tooth ready

Dohány Street Synagogue : Budapest is home to Europe’s largest Jewish synagogue. The ornate building represents a somber reminder of the Holocaust, as it stands at the border of the WWII-era Jewish Ghetto in the city.

Marvel at the European landscape as you drive along a canvas of castles, farmlands, villages and mountains on your way to Austria.

• Stop in Slovakia’s capital city, Bratislava, to check out the city’s castle and take some free time to grab lunch.
• Arrive in Vienna, take a quick walk with your Tour Director, then enjoy an evening in the City of Dreams.

Ahh, Vienna, the home of Classical creators and world-class classiness. This Austrian city is full of grand operas, grandiose architecture, and gardens so pristine, you'll wonder how its visitors are so well-behaved. Today, you'll get to know Vienna in-depth with a local guide.

• Meet your local guide for a sightseeing tour of Vienna.
• Visit the lavish palaces, parks and parliament buildings.
• Learn about the major and minor figures who struck a personal chord with this city.

Continue along the European countryside as you travel to Prague via Krems.

• Take a break from the big city with a tour Krems, a quaint Austrian town in the Wachau Valley, that ends with a tasting of local wines.
• Arrive in the storybook city of Prague.

Rise and shine, time to get that goulash. Put on your most cobblestone-ready shoes, get all the “Czech” puns out of your system, and experience classic Prague sightseeing today with a local guide—an expert who really knows their old buildings from their *very* old buildings.

• Get stoked and stay stoked—a very easy thing to do in Prague—as you follow a local guide around the city’s greatest hits.
• Cross the Vlatava River via King Charles IV’s famous Charles Bridge—don’t worry, there’s still time for you to become an emperor and have your own namesake bridge, too.
• Take a stroll and Czech out more of the city yourself (Sorry, couldn’t help just one).

If you wake up this morning asking yourself “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” it’s probably because 1) “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a great song, 2) you’re in Bohemia, a region of the Czech Republic, and 3) Prague has you feeling some type of way. You’re free today to get to know the city better, maybe take it out for dinner and dancing, or ask it some deep questions about life—whatever floats your boat.

John Lennon Wall : The John Lennon Wall has been a statement of peace, kindness, and tasteful selfies for over 30 years. What started as a protest to Communist rule in the 1980s, has become a colorful conglomerate of pacifist sentiments that you’re welcome to add to yourself. Hmm, Rolling Stones fans, I don’t see a Mick Jagger Wall anywhere, do you?

Petrín Park : Take a stroll through Prague’s Petrín Park (you can’t miss it, it’s the giant hill looming over the city), visit the Hunger Wall built during a famine in the 1300s in exchange for food, then take the Petrín funicular train down the hill into the historic Malá Strana neighborhood for some shopping on Mostecká Street.

Farewell Dinner

Share some last laughs and revisit the best moments of the trip at this included farewell dinner with the group.

Kutna Hora & Bone Church (with lunch) (extra cost)

Tour Kutná Hora, enjoy an included lunch, and visit the iconic Sedlec Ossuary—aka the Bone Church.

Nashledanou, prátele! Translation: Goodbye, friends. Your next destination awaits—home. Before you head to the airport, enjoy your last few moments together. Take one more group photo. Grab that final drink. (Fine, maybe a couple of drinks.) But this isn’t goodbye. It’s, “See you later.” The only question is, where?

EXTEND YOUR TRIP 2 WAYS

1. Double the fun A lot of our trips line up back to back! Give us a call—we can help you add another and save big while you're at it.

2. Go ahead or stay behind Extending your trip is easy! During checkout, you'll have the option to fly to (or from) the gateway of your choice for an additional fee. We'll adjust your flights accordingly, but you'll be responsible to take care of your transportation, hotels, and other logistics outside of tour.

Note: Depending on your desired gateways, additional fees may apply

This was hands down an amazing trip

Could it be true?

I always tell people that EFUB seems to good to be true ... the best part is that it IS true! These trips are seamlessly planned to include everything you want to see, some things you didn't know you needed to see, and free time to fit in anything else.

Paprika, Beer, and Mozart.

Gotta say this has been my favorite trip thus far with EF, and my third. If you're aching for a good beer, goulash, and an apple strudel...this is the trip. Classical music, art nouveau buildings, ruin bars, thermal baths. So much to take in with all five senses, without getting overwhelmed by a hectic paced tour! Andreas is a diamond, lovely tour director ... See more

A magical Christmas experience!

This is a must do for Christmas lovers! Pacing was great, local food was delicious and nothing could beat the Vienna Christmas market!

Imperial Capitals ( 6 days )

This was so much fun. The tour was well organized and well run. The people we met on the tour were such a fun group. We really enjoyed the stops and the individual tours. Would definitely recommend.

Scenic Central Europe

• In-depth Cultural
• Sightseeing

Had a fantastic weekend in Prague with Euroadventures. Everything was planned out perfectly with a nice mix of included and guided activities and also a good amount of free time & optional activities offered (that you could book). We were a group of friends and upgraded to a nice private hotel room just a few minutes by foot from Wenceslas square. Any questions we had were promptly answered as they're always available by WhatsApp or email.. Would definitely book with them again and definitely recommend Euroadventures if you're looking for a fun organized trip that is great value for the money.

Budapest & Vienna

Thank you so much, Shaun Hoffman, for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour company and our guide for a lifetime experience.

Picturesque Central Europe

Prague, Vienna & Budapest

I was so hoping that this tour operation would work well for us, as it had the elements we are looking for ie Land transportation details all looked after, taxis, trains and shuttle to and from airport. Perfect. Breakfast every day was included, leaving us to consume other meals when and where we wanted to.Perfect. One half day tour in each city we visited, to get our bearings, and then leaving us alone for the remainder of the time to wander and discover. Perfect. Accommodation, BASIC (the room in Vienna looked/felt more like a dorm room) and clean, was far away from anywhere we wanted to be, ie far from the historical areas and interesting sites. For this reason, alone, we will not use this tour service again. A traveller needs to be central to the sights and sounds of the city (ie NOT the sounds of the tram going by every 15 mins as was the case in Vienna- windows had to be open, as there were no controls for the heating in the room, and it was HOT in March.)

Cycle the Danube

Great way to visit europe

Vienna and Budapest ( 4 days )

Hotel in Vienna Prinz Eugene was so so and Breakfast buffet did not have much choice for vegetarias, but Budapest hotel Novim Cenrum is good. Overall city Tour of Vienna and Budapest with local guides are goid. especially local guide Mario in Budapest was very informative.

Prague & Budapest

Very good overall experience. Some glitches in pick up timing but they were all resolved. Very happy with experience.

Journey through Central Europe & Romania

Enchanting Prague

We just got back from the Prague, Vienna, Budapest tour. It was wonderful. We were well taken care of. Train tickets were first class, the accommodations were very good, clean and good breakfasts. Pickup and drop-off services were always on time, we never had to wait for anyone. The half day tours were outstanding. There was on small error, but it was ratified very quickly. We had a wonderful time. We got a good taste of each of the cities we visited. It was great.

Central European Fascination

Classical Danube (Passau - Budapest - Passau)

I had a great time. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and very helpful. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Beautiful scenery, a lovely trip.

Best of Eastern Europe- Prague, Vienna and Budapest

It was an excellent package for this tour! You thought of everything: pickup from the airport and back, 4 star hotels, train tickets from city to city, rides and walking tours. You even had suggested metro trains to take! It was filled with must see sites, and yet gave us enough free time to do our own activities. It has been one of our most enjoyable trips! I will certainly recommend this package to our friends! Thank you!

What people love about Vienna Budapest Prague Tours in October

Wonderful cities, well-organised, and great value. Shout out to our guide, Jacob, who was as informative and professional as you'd expect, but also adaptable when things out of his control were going wrong (traffic, weather, etc.) And the driver, Nathan, who was always helpful and reliable - almost like a second tour guide.

Loved the weekend in Prague. My buddy and I did it in December when there was Christmas markets going on. Really cool time to be there and Prague is just a super cool, beautiful city. Guide and tours were good as was the boat cruise and then especially the beer tour they include with pilsner tasting (included). We booked the private hotel room option and it was centrally located and comfortable.

Enjoyed the trip. I did not like receiving the itinerary in multiple emails or three days before departure. I am a planner and prefer to have things ahead of schedule. Overall good trip

Prague, Vienna & Budapest 2024 Tour with Prague Castle, Schonbrunn Palace & Danube River Cruise

Prague, Vienna, Schönbrunn, Bratislava, Budapest

Follow an enticing trail through Prague, Vienna and Budapest as you discover architectural triumphs, fairytale cities, vast imperial palaces and rich cultural heritage on this spectacular European tour. Across 10 spellbinding days, traverse wildly beautiful landscapes, from the Czech Republic’s fascinating capital, Prague – home to the largest castle complex in the world – to riverside Vienna, a culture-lover’s dream thanks to its historic architecture, imperial palaces, museums and musical former residents such as Beethoven and Mozart. Travel via the storied Bratislava, Slovakia to the majestic Hungarian capital, Budapest, which stands proud on the banks of the Danube River.

Discover fascinating architecture, from Vienna's grand Schonbrunn Palace to Prague's famous 14th-century Charles Bridge, adorned with baroque statues. Travel comfortably in your extra-spacious private coach and learn local stories with the help of your expert English-speaking guide as you visit these fascinating European cities. Capture your imagination with free time to explore amid quaint cobbled streets, ornate churches and stunning fairytale castles as you experience the cities’ landmark sites. End your tour with a romantic evening cruise along the majestic Danube.

Your journey takes you to: Prague, Czech Republic – Vienna, Austria – Bratislava, Slovakia– Budapest, Hungary.

Welcome to the beautiful city of Prague. Built on seven hills more than a century ago, it is home to incredible architecture, green hills and picturesque bridges across the Vltava River.

Make your own way to your hotel, where the rest of the day is at your leisure to wander around this striking city. Perhaps explore unique galleries and museums, and stroll along Parizska Street, the city’s famous shopping district. This evening, enjoy a welcome dinner and an orientation meeting with your Tour Manager. Get to know your fellow travellers as you try traditional Czech cuisine at one of the many world-class restaurants in Prague.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before setting off on a guided sightseeing tour of Prague Castle. Uncover the storied walls of this 9th-century palace on a walking tour through the hilltop complex. Marvel at this former residence of Bohemian Kings as you wander the grounds. Visit the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica and Golden Lane, before setting off on an afternoon of sightseeing at leisure.

Today is yours to explore the city at your own pace. Perhaps visit Lesser Town and the Old Town, viewing the 14th-century Charles Bridge with its 30 baroque statues of various saints. You might like to continue through the Old Town Square to view the famous Old Town Hall Tower and Astronomical Clock, the Municipal House, Powder Tower and the Jewish Quarter. For a slower adventure, simply enjoy the views from the banks of the Vltava as you listen to the tunes of Europe’s musical capital. Haydn, Beethoven, Liszt and Mozart all spent time in Prague; and it was here that Figaro was first acclaimed and Don Giovanni received its first performance.

After breakfast, check out and set off through endless rolling vistas and dense forests as you travel to Vienna – the capital and largest city of Austria. Vienna is a romantic place, full of imperial nostalgia, opera houses and delectable cakes.

Upon arrival, check into your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day free to discover the grandeur of Vienna before an included dinner.

This morning, after breakfast, embark on a guided tour of Vienna. Learn the captivating stories of Vienna’s history, culture and politics, tracing back to its Roman roots and involvement in the World Wars. Admire the iconic landmark of the State Opera and take in splendid vistas of the old city from Belvedere Palace, where you will visit the Austrian Gallery of the Upper Palace. The palaces, with their extensive gardens, are considered one of the world’s finest Baroque landmarks. Continue to the Hofburg Imperial Palace, built in the 13th century and the former residence of the monarchs of the Habsburg dynasty. End your tour with a visit to the Parliament buildings.

The remainder of the day is yours to further explore Vienna. You may like to immerse yourself in the thriving Viennese culinary scene, sampling iconic delights such as Sachertorte cake, Wiener Schnitzel and Goulash stew.

After a leisurely breakfast, you will be met in the hotel lobby for a visit to Schonbrunn Palace – the magnificent summer residence and the gardens of the imperial family Habsburg. Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, spent her childhood here; and it’s said Mozart astonished the court with his musical performance at the tender age of six. Your guide will take you on a journey back in time as you stroll through the formal gardens and catch a glimpse of the Gloriette, a hilltop arch overlooking Vienna’s forests. Admire the 18th-century rococo-style apartments, adorned with chandeliers, textured tapestries and frescoes.

Return to your hotel in the afternoon to spend the remainder of the day at leisure.

Bid farewell to Vienna this morning as you journey to Budapest via Bratislava for free time in the Slovakian capital. For centuries, the city has been famous for its charm and beauty, particularly its baroque and rococo palaces. Take time to stroll the winding lanes and medieval courtyards of the old town, and the lively pedestrian streets of this charming city, where local street vendors sell regional gifts. Continue to Budapest, where you will enjoy an included dinner.

Blessed with natural beauty, Budapest’s glorious setting astride the Danube River is rivalled by few European cities. This morning, take in some of the city’s best and most iconic landmarks. Its two sides, Buda and Pest, were separate cities until 1873, a divide that is still visible today. Royal palaces, wooded hills and Ottoman spas await in Buda, while Pest is home to fine museums, the Jewish Quarter and incredible Art Nouveau buildings.

In Buda, stop at the Fisherman’s Bastion for spectacular views of the city and the river below, and see the exquisite Matthias Church. In Pest, head over to the impressive Houses of Parliament and drive along the river, admiring the city landscape, then conclude at the beautiful area around Heroes' Square.

This afternoon is yours to enjoy the city as you please. You might like to join one of the popular river cruises, sitting back and relaxing as you take in the sights.

Known as the ‘Queen of the Danube’, Budapest is an enchanting city that vibrantly mixes East and West, medieval and modern. Buda (the hills) and Pest (the flatlands) are divided by the Danube, and Hungary’s capital presents an array of architectural styles that reveal its long and varied history.

Today is all yours to uncover the delights of this storied city. Choose to visit the bustling market hall or people-watch from Heroes' Square. This evening, join a cruise along the Danube to see the city from a different perspective.

After one final breakfast, it’s time to wave goodbye to Budapest. Your tour concludes upon checkout from the hotel.

Embark on an enchanting evening cruise along the Danube in Budapest. As the sun sets, the city's iconic landmarks come alive in a symphony of lights, painting the skyline with a mesmerising glow. Glide beneath the illuminated Chain Bridge and past the majestic Parliament building. The tranquil waters will carry you on a journey through the heart of this captivating city, offering a unique perspective of its architectural marvels and cultural treasures as they shimmer against the backdrop of the night.

Immerse yourself in history with a guided tour of Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna. Step into the opulent world of emperors and empresses as knowledgeable guides unveil the stories behind this architectural masterpiece. Traverse the richly adorned rooms, each echoing with the footsteps of royalty and luminaries from the past. Marvel at the intricate rococo designs, from exquisite frescoes to crystal chandeliers that cast a timeless radiance.
