Historic and beautiful European cities combined with stunning mountain scenery

Castle ruins

City lovers can treat themselves to four of Europe's finest and most historic places; Prague, Vienna, Budapest and Krakow.

For those who prefer a more intimate atmosphere, the traditional and beautifully-situated Czech town of Cesky Krumlov, the wonderful walled Slovakian town of Levoca, and the artists' favourite Hungarian hideaway at Szentendre will not disappoint.

The landscape is spectacular, with the dramatic Tatra Mountains and beautiful parks and scenery of Moravia. These act as a stunning backdrop to palaces and castles, as well as providing an opportunity for some lovely gentle walks.

The wonderful concentration of tradition, proud cultures and unforgettable landscapes make this a fascinating and varied journey through the heart of Europe.

What makes this trip responsible?

We have established a long term partnership with a local operator, who is committed to promoting tourism as a means of income throughout Central Europe, in particular to the rural communities of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. As such, outside of big cities, we stay in locally-run accommodation, and use local guides and transport companies.
