Brussels
The Danube Express meets you at Brussels Midi station for a late afternoon departure. On boarding, your sleeping car attendant shows you to your private accommodation. Take time to settle down before dinner in the restaurant car, served as the forests and undulating hills of the Ardennes drift by and give way to rural Germany. Later, the lounge car comes alive as the train continues overnight towards the Czech Republic.
Carlsbad & Prague
Wake as the train threads its way through the picturesque Bohemian countryside prior to arrival in the spa town of Carlsbad with its colourful Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings. On a walking tour, see the impressive colonnades and the famous Hot Spring, shooting water high into the air. Take lunch en route to Prague as the Ohře river valley glides by. In the afternoon, explore this magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church spires. Cross the beautiful Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River to the Old Town and see the striking Old Town Hall Tower with its Astronomical Clock. Back on board, enjoy dinner as the Danube Express travels south towards Austria.
Vienna & Budapest
Morning sees arrival in Vienna for a tour which provides an overview of this dazzling city. Admire the stunning architecture of the city as you follow the Ringstrasse and continue past the Hofburg, City Hall, Votive Church and Parliament. Visit the State Rooms at the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace and return to the city via the Belvedere Palace and the State Opera. Rejoin the train for lunch, then relax and unwind with the ever-changing scenery. The Danube Express arrives late afternoon at Budapest Nyugati station and bids you farewell.
