CENTRAL EUROPE
Experience the beauty and romance of Prague, Budapest and Krakow.
Central Europe represents Europe’s cultural and architectural diversity. It boasts one of the highest densities of architectural history in the world. There’s no better place to step back in time. Walk through fascinating, historic neighborhoods, take cruises on the Danube, visit major Jewish sites, but also beautiful churches, former royal palaces and outstanding UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Listen to music and operas in churches and historical state opera houses.
For foodies: Try sausage in street stands, that sell frankfurters and kasekrainer (a cheese-filled sausage) or chestnuts and sliced potatoes roasted on open drums. Drink a cup of mulled wine on cold winter nights or a coffee or hot chocolate with an apple strudel in a 140-year-old Café.
Taste legendary pastries such as a flaky strudel with fillings like sour cherry and sweet poppy seed paste, dobos torte, a multi-layered sponge cake with chocolate buttercream or thekurtoskalacs, the cylindrical “chimney cake” that’s cooked on a wooden spindle over coals.
For shoppers: Browse antiques markets, visit artisans’ workshops and design boutiques for porcelain and Bohemian glass.
