Duration: 9 Days
This trip makes tracks through Europe's coolest cities, taking the train from Berlin to Budapest and stopping off at bohemian Prague and opulent Vienna along the way. Your days will be spent dining in a classic German beer house, taking bike tours, sampling strudel and schnapps in Vienna and cruising along the Danube on a dinner cruise. Your mode of transport is the most classic way to experience Europe, as you enjoy scenic train rides from destination to destination. Day 1
Start Berlin
Hallo Berlin! This eclectic, richly historical and culturally charming city will blow us away as soon as we arrive. We'll waste no time in checking out the cutting-edge culinary scene. Berlin is considered the vegan capital of Europe... and there is plenty for the carnivores too! Then the evening is yours to explore the city's world-famous nightlife. The buzzing scene here is a joyous tribute to German reunification, and since the fall of the Berlin Wall the city has staked its claim as the techno capital of the world.
Day 2
Berlin
2 walking tours today. This morning, we'll enjoy an exclusive MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience with Refugee Voices, learning from young refugees on a fascinating walking tour that draws parallels between Germany's turbulent past and the present situation in many countries across the world today. This evening, you’ll have the chance to explore Berlin's oh-so-historical (and oh-so-hipster) Kreuzberg district… followed by an included dinner.
Day 3
Berlin to Prague
Berlin you've been a blast, but we're making tracks for new adventures today, jumping on the train to Prague.
Arriving in Prague, we'll explore the cobblestones, cathedrals and castles on a walking tour, before refuelling with a traditional Czech dinner. Believe us when we say that the beer here is the best in Europe.
Day 4
Prague
Time to explore more of Prague - catch the tram to one of Prague's outer neighborhoods like hipster Vršovice, boasting art nouveau buildings, offbeat coffee haunts and streets lined with communal pianos.
Day 5
Prague to Vienna
We're jumping on another train today and making our way to Austria.

Day 6
Vienna
Waking up in the stunning capital of Vienna, a city known for its coffee culture and baroque architecture, we'll have plenty of adventures to pursue today before ending the day at one of the world's most historic theme parks: Prater, and eating schnitzel in the leafy surrounding park.

Today we're making our way to Hungary!
Another scenic train ride will take us into the grandeur of Budapest. Tonight, something a bit different, as we have the option to escape the masses and cook dinner with the locals.
