Package Itinerary
Before you settle into your cabin, go and get an eyeful of Hungary’s eyebrow-raising capital. The ship stays in Budapest overnight, so you’ll have plenty of time to see some of the city’s palaces and grand buildings. Make a list of your favourites – you’re here tomorrow, and you’ll return to Budapest..
You’ll wake up with the whole day ahead of you in Budapest – so plenty of time to get under the skin of the city. It’s divided in two by the river, with the east side – Pest – flaunting the Gothic Revival parliament building and the quirky Jewish Quarter. Buda, in the west, has got a castle full of Hungarian art and a turreted fortress.
Butternut-squash-coloured rooftops, splashes of gold along Medieval streets and a turquoise-tinted Art Nouveau church all add to the colourful look of Slovakia’s capital. You’ll have all of today to visit some of its signature sights – like Bratislava Castle, built from snow-white stone and capped with terracotta turrets. You’ll return on day six, so you don’t need to rush to see everything
Today marks the first of two days in the Austrian capital, so you’ve got bags of time to get to know Vienna. This place is as fancy as Champagne afternoon tea in the Ritz. Get settled with a touch of luxury straight away by riding in a horse-drawn carriage – they act as taxis here. Or, marvel at the eye-widening decor in the 13th-century Hofburg Palace. Just so you know, the river doesn’t run through the centre of Vienna, so you’ll need to use public transport to get to the sights.Take today to explore Vienna at your own pace. It’s worth riding a U-Bahn train between must-see landmarks. They take you from the waterfront to the city centre within five to 10 minutes, where pretty parks fill in the gaps between the libraries, churches and opera houses. Vienna is nicknamed the City of Music so in the evening you may want to to take an optional excursion to a classical concert performance
Vienna is known for its extravagant architecture and you can enjoy the day at leisure or take optional tours such as the Classic Vienna City Tour to see the very best the city has to offer. Or choose the Schonbrunn Palace tour - the opulent summer residence of the Habsburg kings and queens
You’ll return to Bratislava today. Get an eyeful of the city from the UFO Observation Deck. This 100-metre-tall viewing deck is part of the futuristic New Bridge that crosses the Danube. There’s a restaurant in the UFO that serves Slovakian dishes. And, it’s only a few minutes’ walk from the castle, so this is a great chance to pair both attractions if you didn’t get to the castle on day three.
Today, you’ll return to uber-cool Budapest. Epic architecture and quirky bars built in ruined buildings rub shoulders throughout the city. It’s worth carving out some time to visit one of the city’s popular thermal baths. Spend time unwinding in hot, mineral-rich waters, surrounded by historic architecture. You can also grab a bite to eat from the huge Central Market Hall.Depending on the time of your homeward journey, use this final day to do some last-minute sightseeing in Budapest. Or, splash the cash on a souvenir shopping spree. Head to Falk Miksa Street for a run of art and antique shops – little trinkets and huge statues rub shoulders in the shops. Or, visit one of Budapest’s flea markets for one-off bargains, like paintings, pottery and clothing
