Munich, Prague, and Vienna

Seven-day rail trip through Munich, Prague, and Vienna

Illustration of Munich, Prague, and Vienna

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night independent rail vacation from Munich through Prague to Vienna, with two nights in each city and a choice of 17 accommodation options spanning several hotel tiers. The trip opens with a small-group walking tour of Munich, covering the Glockenspiel, the Frauenkirche, and the Opera House, before a direct train reaches Prague for two nights built around a hop-on hop-off pass, a Vltava river cruise, and visits to the Strahov Monastery and Prague Castle. A high-speed RailJet train then carries travelers to Vienna, where an included Vienna Pass gives free entry to more than 60 attractions, among them Schönbrunn Palace and the Belvedere, home to paintings by Gustav Klimt. With two-night stays throughout and a mix of one guided tour and several self-guided city passes, this suits travelers who want structure on arrival day in each city but prefer to explore museums and landmarks at their own pace after that. Rail travel and hotel breakfasts are included throughout.
