  • Days 1-2

    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

    Prague

    A 3-hour bus ride takes you to Prague. Explore the Jewish Quarter before 10 AM to avoid crowds. If you like nightlife, the jazz clubs in Mala Strana stay open until 2 AM.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Wroclaw

    The journey to this Polish cultural gem takes 6-7 hours by train and bus. Cathedral Island looks beautiful in morning light for photos. Take time to explore the Four Denominations District's religious architecture.

  • Days 13-15

    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."

    Eger

    A short 2-3 hour train ride east. Visit the Valley of Beautiful Women wine cellars in late afternoon when it's cooler. The famous Bull's Blood red wine is worth trying.
