Want to discover through Eastern Europe's top three coolest cities by rail, complete with scenic views? Starting in the bohemian city of Prague, we'll have time for a guided walking tour through the cobbled streets & traditional craft beer tasting, before making tracks for Vienna to hang at the local 'beach bars', drink Viennese coffee and take thrill rides at one of the world's oldest theme parks. Gliding on to Budapest, we'll have the chance to learn to cook authentic Hungarian dishes with the locals & take a dreamy cruise down the Danube, uncovering a whole new side to Eastern Europe as we go.
