The trip opens with 2 nights in Munich, where the included pass covers Nymphenburg Palace, a stroll through the Englischer Garten, and Marienplatz, with an evening at the famous Hofbrauhaus for traditional food and Bavarian beer. A direct train then carries you to Prague, known as the 'City of a Hundred Spires,' for a further 2 nights. There, the hop-on hop-off pass takes in Prague Castle and the Jewish Quarter, along with a cruise down the Vltava River.
