Day 2: Budapest, Hungary
City tour.*
The Fisherman's Bastion is like something out of a fairy tale and the Parliament building looks like a magical palace. In almost every street, there are ornate art nouveau facades and magnificent baroque buildings to admire. As we leave Budapest at 16:00 hours, the city looks like a work of art.
Day 3: Bratislava, Slovakia
City tour with concert in the old town*
The old baroque part of the city provides a magnificent backdrop for a refreshing lively ambience.
Day 4: Vienna, Austria

Vienna is a modern and cosmopolitan, yet in some places it also has the charm of a small and quiet town. In the evening: option to attend various concerts.**
Day 5: Vienna, Austria
Visit to the morning training session of the Spanish Riding School, exclusive reception and tour of the Hofburg Palace.*
The early-morning exercise of the Lipizzaner stallions is more like a minuet on four hooves. In the evening: option to attend various concerts.**

Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned here in the dungeons until he was set free upon payment of a ransom.
