Illustration of Central European Capitals Classic Group Tour | 1 Week

Euroventure's Central European Capitals Classic Group Tour is an 8-day journey through four great cities: Berlin, Prague, Bratislava and Vienna. All intercity train travel is included, along with stays in 4-star boutique hotels positioned in the heart of each destination. An experienced tour leader accompanies the group throughout. Day 1 opens in Berlin with an included beer hall dinner and optional explorations of the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie. Day 3 brings a direct train ride to Prague along the Elbe and Vltava rivers, with chances to tour Prague Castle or visit a nuclear bunker museum. In Bratislava you can taste local wines and walk the Old Town by night. Vienna offers optional concerts, the Schonbrunn Palace, and the Spanish Riding School. Most cultural and dining activities are optional extras, allowing you to shape your own itinerary. The small group size of 14 guests creates an intimate atmosphere, and the programme suits active travellers who enjoy walking and want hotel-based city exploration with expert guidance.
