Prague to Vienna

8 days - from $2595

Waltz from the romantic heart of Bohemia to the Austrian capital, following in the footsteps of Mozart

Prague and Vienna both exude the notion of a Europe heady in history, tradition and grandeur. Maybe it’s the grand palaces, regal squares and magnificent cathedrals and churches or the way these cities have preserved their old appearances. Maybe it’s the enchanting woods that lie in between or perhaps the famous names of European history who have lived in these places. Maybe it’s the classical music, especially romantic, sweeping waltzes, so synonymous with this area. It is little wonder that one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart spent time in both cities. In Prague we walk through the Old Town Square, across the time-honoured Charles Bridge and up the hill to Hradcany and Prague Castle. In Kutna Hora we uncover the magnificent Gothic Cathedral of St Barbara, whilst in little Cesky Krumlov we experience the epitome of the charming and picturesque Bohemian town. Crossing from the Czech Republic to Austria, we follow the Danube River from the lovely Wachau Valley to Vienna, finishing our journey with a walk from the St Stephen’s Cathedral to the Imperial Hofburg Palace. With horses and stagecoaches parked in front of grand Baroque buildings, it is not hard to imagine being back in the days of the Habsburg Empire.
