Berlin to Budapest by Train
This trip makes tracks through Europe's coolest cities, taking the train from Berlin to Budapest and stopping off at bohemian Prague and opulent Vienna along the way. Your days will be spent dining in a classic German beer house, walking on cobblestone streets, sampling strudel and schnapps in Vienna and cruising along the Danube on a dinner cruise. Your mode of transport is the most classic way to experience Europe, as you enjoy scenic train rides from destination to destination.
Start Berlin
Hallo Berlin! This eclectic, richly historical and culturally charming city will blow us away as soon as we arrive. We'll waste no time in checking out the cutting-edge culinary scene. Berlin is considered the vegan capital of Europe... and there is plenty for the carnivores too! Then the evening is yours to explore the city's world-famous nightlife. The buzzing scene here is a joyous tribute to German reunification, and since the fall of the Berlin Wall the city has staked its claim as the techno capital of the world.
