Central Europe
Why visit Central Europe?
Without any sea around, the central part of Europe might not be the first pick for many travellers. However, cities like Prague, Munich or Vienna have much more to offer than meets the eye. The old, massive and stylish buildings of Europe's richest ruling families, such as the Habsburgs, and castles like Neuschwanstein show you just how wealthy these families were. Having a beer in Munich or strolling across the Charles Bridge in Prague are just a few of the great things Central Europe has to offer.
- Best timeApril to June and September to October; December is popular for Christmas markets.
- Getting aroundDirect trains connect Prague, Vienna, Budapest and Munich in a few hours each; book seats ahead on the busy ones.
- CostsPrague and Budapest are the cheapest; Vienna, Salzburg and Munich cost more but still less than Paris or London.
