Discover Central and Eastern Europe

Embark on a coach tour through Central and Eastern Europe and uncover a region rich in history, culture, and stunning landscapes. Countries like Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland, and Switzerland offer unforgettable destinations that will stay with you forever.

Start in Munich, the vibrant Bavarian capital, famous for its annual Oktoberfest, world-class art galleries, and museums. Savor the lively atmosphere of beer halls and gardens while indulging in Bavarian cuisine paired with traditional brews.

Just a few hours away, cross the border into Austria and explore Vienna. This elegant city captivates visitors with its Baroque architecture, imperial palaces, and deep musical heritage. Take a guided tour to delve into Vienna's artistic legacy, enjoy an enchanting evening of classical music, and treat yourself to apple strudel and Sachertorte in a cozy café.

Head further southeast to Budapest, the stunning capital of Hungary. Straddling the Danube, the city offers a contrast between the historic, hilly Buda side and the flat, bustling Pest. Budapest's architecture, thermal baths, and vibrant culture have earned it the nickname "Pearl of the Danube."

Continue to Prague, the fairy-tale capital of the Czech Republic. Marvel at its Gothic and Baroque architecture, stroll through cobbled streets, and soak up its welcoming atmosphere. Nearby, visit Bratislava, Slovakia’s charming capital, or venture south to Slovenia, where Alpine peaks meet Mediterranean beaches. Croatia’s sun-drenched Adriatic coast, highlighted by Dubrovnik’s ancient city walls, is another must-see.

In Poland, explore Kraków’s medieval charm and the haunting Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps nearby. During December, the region sparkles with festive Christmas markets, while Switzerland enchants with Alpine peaks, shimmering lakes, Swiss chocolate, and cheese fondue. Central and Eastern Europe promises a cultural journey you’ll cherish forever.
