Prague
The first stop on your European excursion will be Prague, capital of the Czech Republic. A city of spires, Prague has a rich history spanning a thousand years, with ornate architecture in spades. The Prague Castle is an unmissable spectacle, especially when it’s lit up like a fairy tale fortress and looming above the beautiful Mánes Bridge. Wake up early on the second day and head for Charles Bridge to gaze upon its many statues and touch the Cross of St Jan of Nepomuk. Get acquainted with the history of the Gothic cathedral church, St Vitus Cathedral and the Royal Palace and admire the panorama of Prague from the viewing platforms. Prague is more than a pretty face, it’s also loaded with golden, glorious beer. The Prague Beer Museum has over 30 on tap, and will soon show you why Prague is often considered the beer capital of the world! During your time in Prague you’ll stay in one of two hotels.
- Hotel Sunrise, winner of a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award, is a brightly decorated hotel with pearl white walls. Centrally located, you’ll be in easy reach of the Old Town, with its expansive square and world-famous astronomical clock.
- Alton Hotel is a cosy yet spacious hotel offering plenty of modern convenience within its classically styled rooms. You can look forward to satellite TV, a fridge and high-speed internet, ensuring you’ve got somewhere comfortable to retire to after a day of sightseeing.
Vienna
After two-three days in Prague, it’ll be time to take a train to the jewel of Austria - Vienna. With an intellectual legacy made up of Mozart, Beethoven and Freud, Vienna is a place of great thinkers and great expression. On your second day in Vienna, begin with a look around Schönbrunn Palace, the stunning summer palace of the Habsburgs where you will want to see the State Apartments, followed by the Gloriette, the marble summerhouse and the palace's Imperial Gardens. For a true dose of Vienna’s veritable art, check out the collections at Kunsthistorisches Museum, or a much-touted performance at the Viennese Marionette Theatre. For those who can’t decide between comfort and curiosity, why not try both with a sofa boat ride along the Danube? What a time to be alive!
- The Art Hotel Vienna is a Certificate of Excellence-winning hotel with an innovate design. An attached gallery space provides a touch of sophistication to your stay with local artworks on display. Across from the hotel bar there’s an even an artist corner where you can watch talented creatives with a beer in hand.
- Hotel Allegro offers both the warmest Viennese hospitality, and fantastic transport links across the city. You’ll be based near the public transport hub of Vienna Matzleinsdorferplatz, meaning buses, trams and rails are at your disposal.
Budapest
Another two or three days of taking in the sights later, and you’ll be off to the third and final capital. Budapest is a city that exudes youth and is home to some of the best nightlife in Europe. Embark on a morning sightseeing on the second day of your visit for an overview of the historical city. Pass the Parliament, cross the Danube on the Margaret Bridge to the Royal Castle on the Buda side. For a different sort of tempo, check out Budapest’s District VII neighbourhood and its ruin bars. Each bar is laid back, artsy, funky, and filled with energy, chatter and dancing. The thing that makes them so special is their location - each ruin bar is hastily thrown together in an old abandoned space, filled with alcohol, cheap furniture and art from some of the local talent. Once again you’ll stay in one of two cosy hotels.
- Sun Resort Apartments is yet another TripAdvisor award winner, and is a comfortably furnished hotel with deluxe offerings. Your apartment comes with flatscreen TV, free WiFi, air conditioning and central heating, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, a private bathroom with a shower or bath tub, and a washing machine. Though you aren’t heading back to the UK for two-three days, it’ll feel like home at the Sun Resort.
- Benczur Hotel is a relaxing space with easy access to some of the city’s most chilled-out spots. The impressive City Park along with Heroes’ square is only a short walk away. Within the huge oasis of green you’ll also find the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden.
