Title
Imperial Splendors with Berlin

Vacation Overview
This is a magnificent journey through the former Habsburg Empire. It visits five of Europe’s most intriguing cities—from Munich, with its many historic highlights and the Marienplatz, to the “Golden City” of Prague, where you’ll visit the 1,000-year-old Hradcany Castle grounds, St. Vitus Cathedral, and more. Travel via Bratislava in the Slovak Republic to Budapest in Hungary and Vienna in Austria. In both Budapest and Vienna, a Local Guide will take you into the main cathedrals, and in Vienna, enjoy an entire day at leisure, which gives you the possibility to visit Schönbrunn Palace. Of course, a romantic cruise on the Danube River (on select departures) is included before entering Sound of Music country on your way to Salzburg, where your guided walking tour includes Mozart’s birthplace. A special dinner at a local restaurant awaits you before you return to Munich, where you’ll take a high-speed train to Berlin, where your sightseeing tour includes the Holocaust Memorial and Brandenburg Gate.All services in Berlin, including Local Host assistance, are provided by Monograms.
