Prague,vienna & Budapest

From Prague the route takes in the Budweiser brewery, a stop in the baroque town of Cesky Krumlov, then on to Vienna. The Austrian capital’s grand buildings include the Gothic St Stephen's Cathedral and the pastel walls of Schönbrunn Palace, with the chance to join an evening concert in the Orangery.
