  • Day 1

    Prague Arrival

    You'll arrive at Václav Havel Airport Prague and transfer to your hotel in the city center. A good tip for late afternoon arrivals: visit Old Town Square for dinner after 7 PM when the crowds thin out. The Astronomical Clock looks stunning under nighttime lighting.

  • Days 2-3

    Prague Exploration

    Start your morning exploring Old Town Square and the famous 15th-century Astronomical Clock. Get to Charles Bridge before 9 AM to avoid tour groups. The 500-meter stone bridge showcases 30 baroque statues. Bring your camera but be careful on the worn cobblestones. Your second full day is perfect for the Lesser Town (Malá Strana) district below Prague Castle. Make sure to visit St. Nicholas Church, one of Europe's finest baroque churches. The area has plenty of authentic Czech pubs where you can try local pilsner and traditional food. A recent visitor noted: "The walking tours were informative and inclusive of historical spots, but leave time to explore the Lesser Town's hidden corners on your own."

    
  • Day 4

    Prague to Budapest Transfer

    Take the train from Prague to Budapest after breakfast. The journey takes about 7 hours. Request a window seat on the right side for nice Danube views as you approach Budapest. After checking into your hotel, take an evening walk along the Danube promenade to see the beautifully lit Parliament building.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Budapest Discovery

    Take a half-day guided tour covering both Buda and Pest. Walk across the Chain Bridge to Castle Hill where you'll find Matthias Church and Fishermen's Bastion with great city views. On the Pest side, visit the Great Market Hall and Europe's largest synagogue. A traveler suggested: "The morning tours were great for orientation, but three hours isn't enough - plan extra time to revisit your favorite spots." Spend your last full day at Budapest's thermal baths. Try the neo-baroque Széchenyi Baths (the largest) or the more authentic Turkish-era Király Baths. Remember to pack flip-flops and a swim cap. In the late afternoon, take a river cruise to see the Danube buildings in golden hour light.

    
  • Day 7

    Budapest Departure

    If you have time, visit the Great Market Hall early. It opens at 6 AM and looks beautiful under morning light through the glass roof. Plan your airport transfer with extra time since Budapest traffic can get heavy, especially on the bridges.
