Stop in Szentendre, a small town packed with artisans' shops and a museum showcasing the work of acclaimed ceramicist Margit Kovacs. Continue on to Vienna and enjoy views of the scenic Danube Bend along the way. Enjoy an inside visit to the majestic Schonbrunn Palace and attend a classical music performance. Embark on a coach and walking tour of the historic Castle area in Bratislava, including a tour of the 18th-century classical-style Archbishops Palace, and experience Slovakia's hospitality as we dine with local families.
