Travel Coach: Karen

Embark with us on a whimsical winter adventure through the heart of Europe with a holiday trip to Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. As the cities dress themselves in twinkling lights and festive cheer, immerse yourself in a journey filled with cultural delights and holiday magic.

We will begin our exploration in Budapest, where the Danube River weaves through the city adorned with architectural wonders and thermal baths. Explore the historic Buda Castle, perched majestically atop Castle Hill, offering panoramic views of the city's skyline illuminated by the glow of holiday lights. Wander through the bustling holiday markets, where the aroma of freshly baked chimney cakes mingles with the melodies of traditional folk music. Savor the warmth of mulled wine as you browse through stalls brimming with artisanal crafts and local delicacies.

Next, we will board a scenic train journey to Vienna, the imperial capital of Austria steeped in grandeur and opulence. Arriving just in time for New Year's Eve, prepare to revel in the city's legendary celebrations! Prepare to experience jubilant crowds gathering in the grand squares and along the majestic Ringstrasse, where fireworks paint the sky with bursts of color against the backdrop of iconic landmarks such as the Hofburg Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral.

After the new year dawns, we will bid farewell to Vienna and embark on the final leg of our adventure to Prague, the "City of a Hundred Spires." Traverse the cobbled streets of the atmospheric Old Town, adorned with Gothic spires and Baroque facades dusted with a sprinkling of snow. Lose yourself in the charm of Prague's enchanting markets, nestled beneath the towering silhouette of Prague Castle. Sample traditional Czech treats such as trdelník, a sweet pastry cooked over an open flame, and marvel at the intricate craftsmanship of hand-blown glass ornaments and wooden toys.

Throughout our journey, the rhythm of the Eurail will carry us seamlessly between these captivating cities, each offering its own unique tapestry of holiday traditions and timeless charm. Together, we will immerse ourselves in the festive spirit of Budapest, Vienna, and Prague, forging memories to cherish long after the last echoes of New Year's celebrations fade into the winter night.
