Discovering the Heart of Europe from Prague to Vienna
Picture Bohemia’s wild Vltava River. A rushing stream speckled with lazy rafts. Or the blue Danube. Bordered by steep vine-covered slopes. Rivers are life in Central Europe, but you won’t stop there. You’ll cycle along peaceful family-friendly bike paths. Hike wooded mountainsides. Savor the taste of a locally made cheese or a perfect ripe apricot. Two countries. Endless ways to experience them. Why settle for just one?
Highlights
- Connect two fascinating countries and four World Heritage sites on one spectacular family trip
- Hike forest tracks to mysterious castle ruins and bike through lush vineyards and orchards
- Learn why dry Czech humor complements a pale lager, how animals live on an organic farm and just how many snacks come from apricots
- Make a splash on the sun-drenched rivers of Europe’s secret summer paradise

End Vienna
