Explore Four Capitals of Central Europe!

The Danube has flowed like an artery through Central Europe through the millennia, serving as a bridge between several unique cultures. On this tour, we start in the Hungarian capital of Budapest (or more specifically Buda and Pest across the river).

We then drive into Slovakia's mountains to spend a night at an intimate pension in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Banska Stiavnica, that sits in the middle of an immense caldera formed when an ancient volcano collapsed. Our next destination is the capital of the nation of Slovakia, which became a capital overnight in 1993 during the separation from the Czech Republic. The separation process was so orderly that it was dubbed the "Velvet Divorce".

From Bratislava we make the short drive to Vienna, where we spend three nights. We'll have a walking tour of some of the Schonbrunn Castle as well as some cultural landmarks, culminating in an evening classical music performance (subject to availability).

Departing from Vienna we drive northwest to the small Czech city of Cesky Krumlov, and we will stay in the historic heart of the city, also a World Heritage Site. We'll visit the town's restored castle, then see the town's monuments and homes from our ride on the river.

Our tour will conclude in the Czech capital of Prague, where we will stay close to its historic center. During our walking tour we'll visit Wenceslas Square, Charles Bridge and other highlights of this ancient capital.

Central Europe Capitals Gay Tour Itinerary

Days 1 - 3 - Budapest, Buda & Pest
Budapest gay tourMost North American travelers will need to depart home a day before the first tour day, flying overnight and connecting to Budapest. We will provide a transfer from Budapest Airport to our hotel for those arriving on the first day, or arranging extra hotel nights through us. We'll have our welcome dinner near our hotel in the heart of Budapest on our arrival day.

The next day, during the our City Tour of Pest, we get acquainted with the Pearl of the Danube. We drive along the main avenues, passing by Parliament and the Opera House, and we stop at Heroes' Square. We will also visit the Market Hall, where we'll have some free time to look at the hundreds of local products sold there. Our afternoon and evening will be free to explore the city on our own.

We cross over to hilly Buda for our next half-day tour that will include the Castle Hill area, and visits to Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion. We'll also go up Gellert Hill for a panoramic view of the city and the majestic river that divides Buda and Pest. Later in the afternoon, you may want to visit one of the spas for a rejuvenating treatment. One of the oldest spas dates back to Turkish occupation in 1566.

Day 5 - Onward to Bratislava – Newest Capital of Region

As we head toward Prague from Cesky Krumlov, we'll stop at Ceské Budejovice – home of Budvar, one of Czech's more prominent beers. We'll have a beer tasting and lunch there.

Once we get to our hotel in Prague, the rest of the afternoon and evening are on your own to check out the fine restaurants and perhaps some of the gay nightlife of Prague.

The next day we’ll have a half-day walking tour, including the Astronomical Clock, Wenceslas Square, Royal Way of the Old Town, and Charles Bridge. We will certainly spend one of the nights hitting the town for a Gay Pub Crawl.

Our second half-day of touring will include the Mala Strana area, Hradcany Castle (from the outside), and St Vitus Cathedral. One of these days we will fit in time at the Alchemie Museum, a 1500s-era authentic underground Laboratory where King Rudolph II had his wizards try to make gold from lead.

Trip FAQ

Where does the tour start and end?
This tour starts in Budapest, Hungary and ends in Prague, Czech Republic.

 

What is the Activity Level of This Tour?

This is a leisurely-paced trip. Our guides will lead us on walking tours, sometimes on uneven cobblestones. Transportation between destinations is by private vehicle for our group. Most but not all hotels have elevators.

 

What if I am traveling alone?
Most of our trips draw more single travelers than couples. When couples do join us, it's usually because they're looking forward to interacting with a gay group; if they wanted a holiday by themselves, they wouldn't have signed up to travel with us. Furthermore, the activities included with our trips serve as natural ice-breakers. Within a day, you'll be traveling with friends. You don't need to pay the single supplement if you're traveling alone. We'll be happy to match you with a roommate. Pay the single supplement only if you want a bedroom to yourself.
