Tour Overview
Embark on an unforgettable weekend adventure with our Budapest-Vienna tour, perfect for avid explorers eager to experience two captivating cities in Central Europe. Begin your journey in the exotic capital of Hungary, Budapest, where you'll enjoy a guided walking tour and a scenic Danube River boat cruise. After two nights in Budapest, travel to Austria's imperial city, Vienna, for a day of sightseeing including the Vienna Opera, Hofburg Palace, and St. Stephen's Cathedral. With accommodations in central locations and options for both 3-star hotels and hostels, this tour offers a seamless blend of culture, history, and vibrant nightlife, all within one weekend.
*Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.
