Day 3: BERLIN-DRESDEN-PRAGUE
After breakfast, travel past Dresden, the most beautiful city in Germany. Dresden is located on the left bank of Elbe River at the peak of a graceful river bend. Despite being damaged during the devastating bombing campaign of World War II, the old part of the city has since been restored and regained its beauty. Continue your journey to Prague, the administrative, cultural, business and industrial centre of the Czech Republic. Built along Vitava River, Prague is also one of the most beautifully preserved cities in Europe.
Breakfast/Dinner

Day 4: PRAGUE
Begin your tour of Prague with Hradcany Castle, Cathedral of St Vitus, the Golden Lane and the famous Wenceslas Square, which is the hub of cultural, social and business activities in Prague. Not to be missed is the Astronomical Clock, where a crowd gathers at the start of every hour to admire the procession of the Apostles and other allegorical figures. Take a stroll on the medieval Charles Bridge, the symbol of the city of Prague and admire the baroque statues that decorate both sides of the bridge. After lunch, spend your day at leisure to explore this historical city further.
Breakfast/Lunch

Day 5: PRAGUE-KRAKOW
Journey into another part of Polish history and see the charming old town of Krakow, the old capital of Poland. It is a multi-faceted modern city filled with medieval old towns and horse-drawn carts. Thereafter, continue to the west of Krakow in southern Poland to visit Auschwitz concentration camp, which serves as a chilling reminder of the Holocaust during World War II.
Breakfast/Dinner

Day 6: KRAKOW
Today, you will continue to tour Krakow. The tallest structures on Krakow's skyline are not skyscrapers but the spires of old churches. Historical buildings, museums and churches also flank the Main Market Square. One of your photo stops will be the Jewish Quarter, where the movie “Schindler’s List” was filmed. You will also get to visit the courtyard of the royal castle at Wawel Hill. At the Church of Virgin Mary, hear a trumpeter play from the tower window on the hour. If time permits, visit Jagiellonian University, one of the first universities in Europe. Alternatively, you may view the masterpiece, “Portrait of a Young Woman with an Ermine” by Leonardo Da Vinci in the Princes Czartoryski Museum.
Breakfast/Lunch

Day 7: KRAKOW-SLOVAKIA-BUDAPEST
Travel across the Tatra region to Slovakia for a short stop before heading to Hungary and its capital, Budapest. You will discover that Hungarian art and architecture are a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau influences. Hungary’s rich musical background ranges from the rhapsodies of Franz Liszt and the operas of Ferenc Erkel to gypsy and folk music.
Breakfast/Hungarian Folklore Dinner

Day 8: BUDAPEST
This morning, explore Budapest, the administrative, business and cultural centre of Hungary. The Castle District is the premier destination for visitors and contains some of Budapest's most important monuments and museums. The main sights of the twin cities of Buda and Pest include the Heroes’ Square, Fisherman’s Bastian and Gullet Hill, all of which offer panoramic views of the city. After lunch, you can spend your time at leisure or take a stroll along River Danube and experience some of the local fashion and cuisines.

After crossing the border into Austria, you will arrive at the city of Vienna. Vienna represents the glorious legacy of the Habsburg dynasty, and during that time, the Habsburgs were great builders.
