Central Europe by train - 2020 bookings now open
2020 tour: Departs May 1, 2020.
Central Europe by train is a magnificent tour that presents this fascinating part of the world in a completely different way.
You can sit back and relax as you enjoy the comfort and amenities of top class train travel, as some of the world’s most superb scenery passes by your window.
This thirty day tour travels across some of the most interesting and beautiful areas of Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, The Czech Republic, Germany, and Switzerland. Travelling across Europe by train is relaxing, and the format of the tour keeps the movement of luggage to a minimum. Lengthy stays in major centres, greatly reduces the hassle of constantly packing and unpacking luggage.
The tour itinerary is characterized by a great deal of variety. The traditional three great cities of Central Europe – Budapest, Prague and Vienna, with all they have to offer, feature prominently. But there is much more – several other interesting towns and cities, glorious alpine scenery, delightful villages, magnificent Baroque palaces and churches, famous castles and historical sites, and many wonderful special experiences.
A unique tour experience:
* The tour group is not too large, (about 12 to 20), much smaller than most other tours.
* Travel between cities and towns where we stay, is almost exclusively by first class train.
* There is a great deal of flexibility in the tour, with a considerable amount of free time built into the itinerary. This allows the more experienced travellers to “do their own thing”, whilst at the same time, less experienced travellers will have the tour leader available to offer suggestions about places of interest and/or actually lead them there.
* Local and regional travel on the tour is by a wide variety of train and other forms of transport, including trams, funiculars, cable cars, ferries and launches.
* The pace of the tour is also somewhat easier than most coach tours of Europe. Several mornings feature a 9.00 am or later start.
