    Vienna

    Begin in Austria's elegant capital. Visit St. Stephen's Cathedral early morning before the 9 AM tour groups arrive. Stop at Vollpension café where local seniors serve traditional Viennese cakes. "The older staff at Vollpension made the experience so authentic - their stories about old Vienna were fascinating."

    
  • Days 3-4

    Cesky Krumlov

    Take a 3-hour morning minivan to this fairy-tale Czech town. Bring comfortable walking shoes for the uneven cobblestones in the medieval center. A local tip: book an afternoon canoe trip on the Vltava River when tourist numbers drop.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Budapest

    The 8-hour journey needs an early start. Get to the Széchenyi Baths before 11 AM to avoid crowds. A previous visitor suggests: "Book a private cabin to change - the communal lockers get chaotic during peak times."
