Railbookers · Independent rail vacation

Munich from Budapest

Railbookers operates this 4-day, 3-night independent rail vacation from Budapest to Munich, a short break rather than a multi-city tour. The trip begins with a direct train from Budapest through Austria, arriving in Munich for three nights at the same hotel. Day 2 is self-guided, using an included sightseeing pass to visit Nymphenburg Palace, walk through the Englischer Garten, and take in the historic Marienplatz. On day 3, a small-group tour visits Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria's well-known fairy-tale castle, followed by an evening at the Hofbräuhaus. Because most of the trip is self-guided aside from the one small-group castle excursion, it suits independent travelers who prefer to set their own pace over those who want a fully escorted schedule. Rail travel, three nights of hotel breakfast, and a 24-hour hop-on hop-off pass are included.

Price history

Across 4 checks, this price has fallen US$390 since 4 Jul, to US$409.

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. 3 of 4 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.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: a doubtful read. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
