Czech - Hungary Tour
Czech Republic, Hungary,
Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia
Riding through
Czech, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria gives you the opportunity to visit some
of the finest historical places in Europe: Prague, Budapest and
Salzburg. From numerous castles and ruins that perch quietly near
lost-in-time Baroque and Renaissance villages in Czech and Slovakia
to Austrian Alps surrounded by magical mountain lakes and hidden
alpine valleys.
Since the fall of Berlin wall Eastern European countries have come a long way. The nineties saw these lands transformed from an open air museum of socialism and neglected backwater to a renovated, colourful, central European states. Despite modernisation, great care has been taken to preserve the magic of historical and cultural heritage, in some respects the countries’ most valuable assets.

Next we're
off to Budapest, Hungary's vibrant capital
city, which straddles a gentle curve in the Danube.
With its incredible architecture and rich cultural heritage,
Budapest deserves its reputation as the 'Paris of
Central Europe'. |

Continuing
north we find ourselves in Slovakia, romantic
and relatively tourist free country. High Tatras
National Park with its alpine look of central massive
range rising out of the green plain is Slovakia's biggest
attraction. On the rest day you can hike numerous trails,
ride the alpine roads, or visit Auschwitz
in neighbouring Poland. |

On our
way to Prague we stop in Olomouc,
one of Czech's most beautiful, interesting and exciting
cities all at once. |

The Golden
city of Prague outwardly appears as a city forgotten
in time. It's a place where different architectural styles
stand cheek by jowl, creating an atmosphere that's both
intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget once
you visit. Rest day in this stunning city will give you
the opportunity to walk the old town and enjoy its grandeur
in full. |
|
Day
11 |
Leaving
Prague we head south to Central Bohemia,
a land of numerous castles and old towns. We stop in the
World Heritage Site of Cesky Krumlov where
the majority of buildings are designated cultural monuments.

From the
legendary beauty of the Czech Republic to Austria's
magnificent Alps, twisty roads and high passes,
Salzburg awaits. Mozart's birthplace, home
to a world-famous classical-music tradition, with its baroque
architecture will amaze you. |
|
Day

Our last
day might be the most enjoyable ride since we'll be snaking
up and down high alpine passes, admiring
valleys below and snow covered mountain tops above before
returning to Ljubljana in Slovenia. |
|
Day

Stroll
through the narrow streets of Ljubljana,
the capital of Slovenia, before heading out to the airport.
