Begin in Prague, which is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is endearingly referred to as the "City of a Hundred Spires." Maybe you will choose to stand in awe at the stunning architecture of the Old Town Square or perhaps relax at a local pub and sample the famous Czech beer. Choose to visit the hourly striking of the Astronomical Clock, which was built in the 14th century and is still entertaining crowds with its animated display. In the evening, perhaps walk to Charles Bridge on the Vltava River and watch the sunset against the beautiful city views.

Continue onto Budapest. Tour the iconic Parliament building, which sits gracefully on the Danube River and is a striking example of Neo-Gothic architecture. Just across the Danube lies Fishermen's Bastion, seven towers that are joined together to honour the tribes that formed the Hungarian nation and today provides the most picturesque panoramic views of Budapest.
