Central Europe, for city-hopping by train

Why restrict yourself to one city, or even one country, when Europe’s intertwining rail networks mean that you can journey across the continent’s most charming medieval cites in just ten days with Culture Trip. Start in Berlin, as surrounded in history as it is peppered with thriving cultural scenes, before hopping onboard the train to Prague. We’ll explore the city’s gorgeous old town and sip beers at a local craft brewery before continuing to Vienna. We’ll dine on schnitzel and sachertorte in between glimpses of classical music heritage and sophisticated architectural standouts before visiting the underrated Slovakian capital, Bratislava, and ending our trip in Budapest. Mark the end of your Central European epic by soaking in the city’s thermal baths and reflecting over drinks at a trendy ruin bar.
