Imperial Cities - Prague, Vienna & Budapest

None given.Description
This fantastic break combines three of Europe's finest capitals - Prague, Vienna and Budapest. These beautiful cities boast fascinating histories and cultures, with each having its own distinct personality which we explore on our guided tours. Laced with Gothic architecture, Prague's impressive castle contrasts with the bustling cafés and cobbled lanes it overlooks. Vienna is a stately city of grand Baroque architecture and a rich musical and artistic heritage while two halves of a city, Buda and Pest, have combined to make one wonderful capital, with the waters of the Danube flowing between them.
