Travel Map

Day 1: Budapest (Hungary)

Day 3: Vienna

This is your day, your way. Wanna see Viennese music in action? Stupid question. There’s a sick opportunity to watch the orchestra. Not just watch but FEEL. Y’know how music can bring a tear to your eye? Get those tissues ready, cos you’re about to blubber. Nee...

Day 4: Vienna – Austrian Alps

Prepare yourself for some A-W-E-S-O-M-E scenery as we make our way to the Austrian Alps. So much more than schnitzel, strudel and The Sound of Music, this thrill-seekers’ paradise should have been sponsored by GoPro. Stretch your legs and soak up the views before we regroup for another delish included dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 5: Austrian Alps

Want a whole day to explore this BEAUT region? We got you. In summer, soak up some mind-blowing views with an optional paragliding adventure. Or get your heart pumping with a canyoning sesh through some dramatic alpine gorges. Visiting in winter? Make the most ...

Day 6: Austrian Alps – Ceský Krumlov (Czech Republic) – Prague

Onwards to the spire-filled skyline and mysterious streets of Prague! En route, we’re gonna make a pitstop at Ceský Krumlov. This entire place is UNESCO World Heritage–listed so prepare to be seriously WOW-ed. We're talking: a grand medieval castle, twisting co...

Day 7: Prague

That’s right folks – it’s your day, your way. So, make like Dora and get exploring. Check out the John Lennon wall. Soak up some history at the Communist Museum. Take the funicular up Petrin Hill for all the views. Stroll the fairytale halls of the Klementinum....

Day 8: Prague – Dresden (Germany) – Berlin

Today we’re swapping one beer capital for the next. But first, get acquainted with 800-year-old Dresden – a city virtually destroyed in WWII and then rebuilt – before we make tracks to Berlin where we’ll tick off all the ICONIC sights on a driving tour. We’re t...

Day 9: Berlin

You’ve got 24 hours here. Make the most of it. Our advice? An optional historic walking tour that’s gonna get those daily steps in and fill your brain with facts. Every day’s a learning day, right? You’ll get local insight into what Berlin was like under Nazi r...

Day 10: Berlin – Warsaw (Poland)

Tums full after another group brekkie, today we’re making tracks for our sixth country. HECK yes. When we roll up in Poland's beating heart, we’ll stretch our legs on an orientation walk with our Trip Leader. Then, time to take Fleetwood’s advice and go your ow...

Day 11: Warsaw

You wanted freedom to explore – here it is. Seek out the city’s iconic mermaid statue in the heart of Old Town Market Square. Climb 150 steps to the top of the St Anne’s Bell Tower for some epic photo ops (it’s worth it, promise). Or lose yourself in facts and ...

Day 12: Warsaw – Auschwitz – Kraków

Today, we’ll be swapping one beaut Polish city for another. But first: a visit to former concentration camp Auschwitz for a lesson in the resilience of humanity. Feeling humbled after our guided tour, we’ll move onto Kraków. Legend has it a dragon had to be def...

Day 13: Kraków

Today = you do you. Need some suggestions? Head to Hamsa in the heart of the Jewish Quarter for some 'Hummus and Happiness'. Shop for amber in the UNESCO-listed Cloth Hall. Or do as the locals do and drop into Okraglak in Plac Nowy (New Square) for some drool-w...

Day 14: Kraków – Tatra Mountains (Slovakia) – Budapest (Hungary)

Not gonna lie, today’s a bit of a drive day. BUT we’ll be taking the scenic route through the INCREDible Tatra Mountains. Shotgun a window seat! When we arrive back in the City of Bridges, we’ll be chauffeured past the Chain Bridge, Castle District, Gellert Hot...

Day 15: Budapest

And just like that, it’s over. Say your goodbyes and swap those TikTok handles at breakfast – you’ll need them to organise next year’s reunion trip. Sooooo....where to next?
