This week-long journey whisks you through three Danube capitals—one during a very special time of year! Begin in Vienna, Austria’s City of Music where some of the world’s greatest minds and talents lived and worked over the centuries. Next is Slovakia’s enchanting Bratislava, where an impressive hilltop castle stands watch over the lovely pedestrian Old Town. Finally, enter Hungary in time for its national independence celebration. Between the hoisted flags, parades, religious and folk traditions, first bread from the new wheat, and fireworks galore, you’ll find yourself immersed in the fun and festivities. Ports include Esztergom with its ornate basilica, ancient Visegrád, Mohács with its colorful Busó culture, Kalocsa (Paprika Capital of the World), and, of course, Budapest. As you make a majestic entrance into Budapest, raise a glass of Tokaji aszú and toast the city’s beauty and proud history.
In Vienna walk in the footsteps of famous composers like Mozart or Strauss, visit one of over one hundred museums, visit Palaces, listen to great music in the famous Opera House, watch the Lipizzaner horses train at the Spanish Riding School.
Guest love Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, because the Old City Center is for pedestrians only and easy to explore. Add the great local food, wine and beer and you understand why guests return.
The Basilica of Esztergom is the largest church of the country and home of the catholic church. Another highlight in this region are the fortress ruins of Visegrad and the so-called Danube knee – the scenic stretch between Esztergom and Budapest.
Visegrad is a small town located in Hungary, on the banks of the Danube river. It is known for its picturesque scenery, rich history, and impressive medieval fortress. Visitors can explore the town's historic center, which features well-preserved buildings and streets that date back to the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian periods. One of the main attractions in Visegrad is the Visegrad Castle, which offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and the Danube river. The town is also home to several thermal spas and wellness centers, making it a popular destination for relaxation and rejuvenation. Additionally, Visegrad is known for its traditional Hungarian cuisine, including hearty stews and grilled meats, as well as its delicious local wines.
Budapest has much to offer like the Castle Garden Bazaar, the Fisherman’s Bastion or Mathias Church. There are plenty of highlights to explore or guests can choose to relax in one of the many hot springs spas the city is famous for.
The port of Mohács, in Hungary, serves as a vital transportation hub connecting the region to other parts of Europe. This bustling port facilitates both commercial and leisure ships. The port holds historical significance tied to the Battle of Mohács, which led to this part of Hungary being under Ottoman control for many years. This port serves as a reminder of Hungary's complex and rich history.
Kalosca is one of Hungary’s oldest cities and the perfect blend of traditional and modern. Lovely old buildings, quaint shops selling paprika and embroidery sit side by side with modern apartment blocks and offices.
