Guided Prague, Austrian Alps, and Munich Tour

Your tour begins in Prague, a colourful Gothic-meets Baroque-meets Renaissance city with tons of historical buildings. Enjoy a downtown city tour in the evening, getting just a peek of what makes Prague so fantastic.

Today is all about Prague, a city that has functioned as the cultural, political, and economic centre of central Europe since it was founded in the Romanesque period. You’ll see all the highlights, including the Old Town Square with its Baroque buildings and magical astronomical clock tower, the Charles Bridge, and the castle area.

Leaving Prague behind, you’ll travel to southern Bohemia, stopping into the amazingly preserved rural Baroque village of Holasovice, a UNESCO-recognized site. Next, explore the town of Český Krumlov, dominated by a 13th-century castle and a gorgeous 11-hectare garden. This is where you’ll spend the night.

So long, Czech Republic! You’ll head into your second country of the tour this morning, crossing the border into Austria. Take the cable car up the Schladming Glacier and enjoy an easy hike along the glacier to a cozy tourist chalet. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can cross the rope bridge to explore the glacier cave.

After enjoying the glacier, you’ll head to tonight’s hotel in Schladming.

This morning, you’ll be treated to an exploration of the gorgeous Königssee region, the gem of which is a lake situated in the middle of a high mountain region. Enjoy a boat ride across the lake to the church of St. Bartholomew, then take a relaxed walk to a nearby mountain hut for lunch.

Later on, you’ll travel up to the Eagle’s Nest (Hitler’s teahouse), which is now a restaurant with great views. You’ll be staying in Berchtesgaden.

After breakfast, transfer to one of the most famous alpine resorts in Austria, Zell Am See. You can cruise along a high mountain road under Austria’s tallest mountain, Großglockner, or take a cable car up to the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be stunned by the beauty of Austria’s many mountain peaks.

Waking up in the gorgeous mountains, you’ll head out towards Innsbruck, the cozy mountain town that serves as the capital of Tyrol. Spend some time in the historic centre of town, where the Golden Roof, Innsbruck’s most recognizable feature, can be found. This roof is decorated with nearly 2,700 gilded copper tiles.

Continue your sightseeing, stopping by the Hofburg Imperial Castle and the Hofkirche Church from the Renaissance. Spend the night in a nice hotel in Innsbruck.

Moving right along to your third country of the tour, you’ll enter Germany today, making it to Munich and starting your exploration right away. Begin at the Old Town Hall, a cool neo-Gothic building. See the New Town Hall, the Residences museum (full of rare coronation jewels and neat exhibits), and Frauenkirche, one of the biggest Gothic buildings in the region.

End the day with a visit to a popular beer hall, a mandatory stop when you’re in Munich.

What a tour it’s been! If you want more time to enjoy Munich, you can pre-book some additional nights. If not, it’s time to get ready to head home.
