Europe

Starting and ending in Frankfurt, this trip features two overnights each in Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Budapest, and Prague. It covers the main German cities, including the one-time intellectual hub of Weimar; reunified Berlin; and Munich. From Germany it's on to the highlights of Poland: charming Poznan, magnificent Warsaw, the historic Jasna Gora Monastery, the concentration camp of Auschwitz, and romantic Krakow. As you travel to Hungary, admire the majestic Tatra Mountains and pass through some of the most scenic parts of Slovakia. The legendary Danube welcomes you to Budapest with its Buda Castle, Fishermen's Bastion, and Matthias Coronation Church. Austria's capital of Vienna beckons next, the elegant city known for the waltz, delectable pastries, and awe-inspiring Habsburg residences. Continue to Prague with its Charles Bridge, Jewish Quarter, and world-famous Astronomical Clock. South through the Bohemian Forest and into Bavaria to Munich, then along the famous Romantic Road with its fairytale towns and villages. Among these are Nordlingen and Rothenburg, well-preserved medieval jewels with traditional 16th-century half-timbered houses.
