London to Budapest: 2 Weeks

Self-guided rail journey from London to Budapest across five countries in 15 days.

Euroventure's London to Budapest rail tour is a 15-day self-guided journey across five European countries. You depart London on Eurostar and travel by train through Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and end in Budapest, with all tickets and accommodation arranged in advance. Each city offers two to three nights to explore at your own pace: Amsterdam's canal museums and cycling routes, Berlin's Wall remnants and classical architecture, Prague's bridges and old squares, Vienna's palaces and concert halls, and Budapest's thermal spas and castle views. A personalized travel booklet, walking directions to centrally located hotels and hostels, optional walking tours, and 24-hour emergency support are included.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at £1,179 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.
