Berlin, Prague, and Munich
Self-guided 7-day rail trip linking Berlin, Prague, and Munich
Railbookers puts together this independent, self-guided rail vacation across three Central European capitals over 7 days and 6 nights, starting in Berlin and finishing in Munich, with Prague in between. Direct trains cover both intercity legs, so travelers move city to city without arranging their own connections. Each stop gets two nights, which gives room to slow down: day 2 in Berlin, for instance, pairs a guided walking tour past the Brandenburg Gate with free time to see the East Side Gallery's Berlin Wall fragments at your own pace. Prague adds a river cruise on the Vltava and a visit to Prague Castle, while Munich closes the trip with a walking tour through the Marienplatz. Hotel choices include international brands such as Hilton, InterContinental, and Sofitel, with several options offered for the Munich stay. The structure suits travelers who want fixed trains and booked hotels but prefer to explore each city on their own schedule.

- Munich hotel options include a staff pick and a most popular property among several choices (Sofitel Munich Bayerpost, Mercure Hotel Muenchen City Center, Excelsior Muenchen, Holiday Inn Munich City Centre, and Flemings Hotel Munchen City), so the exact hotel depends on which one you select.
