Trafalgar

Visit the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse, where preserved sections of the Wall and a watchtower make the city’s division tangible. Hear how the border separated neighbours and families, and how Berliners lived with its restrictions.

This open-air memorial stands on a street that became a focal point of escape attempts. Its surviving border installations offer a place to reflect on division and reunification without losing sight of the people behind that history.

Explore Berlin with a Local Specialist, taking in the Reichstag and Brandenburg Gate, the leafy Tiergarten and the broad boulevard of Unter den Linden. These landmarks reveal a capital shaped by Prussian power, twentieth-century upheaval and a renewed civic life.

See how monumental avenues and public spaces have acquired new meanings across generations. The tour gives you a grounded introduction to Berlin’s geography and the layers of history visible in its streets.

Take a guided tour of the Auschwitz Memorial at the site of the former Nazi German concentration and extermination camp. Walk through this preserved place of remembrance and learn about the people imprisoned and murdered here.

The memorial documents the Holocaust through the physical remains of the camp and the histories of its victims. It is a difficult but essential visit, approached with the time and respect that its testimony deserves.

Discover Budapest on a Local Specialist-led sightseeing tour, taking in the city’s celebrated views and the Castle District. See how the Danube divides hilly Buda from flatter Pest, giving each side of Hungary’s capital its own character.

From riverside panoramas to historic streets, the tour introduces the imperial architecture and layered history that shape Budapest today. It is an opportunity to orient yourself among the landmarks and neighbourhoods of this city.

Delve further into Warsaw’s past on an optional experience offered during your stay. It provides an additional opportunity to engage with the history of a capital repeatedly reshaped by invasion, war and the communist era.

Warsaw’s rebuilt streets sit alongside reminders of the people and communities who lived through those changes. Specific stops are not detailed in the itinerary; this experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Venture beneath the surface on an optional visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Kraków. See chambers and sculptures carved from rock salt, including the richly worked Chapel of St Kinga, often likened to an underground cathedral.

Centuries of mining created a vast subterranean world where workers shaped both practical passages and works of art. This distinctive encounter with Polish industrial and artistic heritage is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Explore Warsaw with a Local Specialist, seeing its rebuilt Old Town and sites connected to the former Warsaw Ghetto. Pay your respects at the Ghetto Heroes Memorial and visit the Chopin Memorial in Lazienki Park.

Warsaw’s historic centre was devastated during the Second World War and painstakingly reconstructed. Its streets and memorials hold different, equally important stories of resistance, loss and survival, giving this city tour a depth beyond its colourful facades.

Walk through Kraków with a Local Specialist, seeing Wawel Royal Castle and Cathedral before exploring the Old Town. In Rynek Glówny, admire the Cloth Hall and St. Mary’s Basilica, where the traditional trumpet call sounds from a tower.

Wawel Hill was a seat of Polish royalty, while the vast market square has anchored the city’s commercial and social life for centuries. The walk brings Kraków’s royal, religious and mercantile heritage together in its remarkably intact historic centre.

Join the Schieszl family for a hearty Hungarian dinner and hear the story of their winery, which dates back to the nineteenth century. This locally hosted Be My Guest experience brings you around the table with the people behind a family food-and-wine tradition.

Conversation and home-style cooking offer a personal perspective on Hungarian hospitality. Rather than dining in a standard restaurant setting, you’ll connect with your hosts and the history they continue to share.

Visit the herbal gardens and Fragrance Museum at Pannonhalma’s thousand-year-old Benedictine Abbey. Explore monastic traditions of herbal medicine and scent-making, meet Local Specialists and craft a botanical keepsake using garden-grown ingredients.

Seasonal demonstrations and herb-infused chocolates add a sensory dimension to this UNESCO-listed cultural landscape. The experience connects the abbey’s long history with sustainable gardening today and supports local efforts to preserve its living heritage.

Walk through Vienna’s historic first district with a Local Specialist, discovering the streets at the heart of the former Habsburg capital. Tour the Ring Road to see the Hofburg Palace and Vienna State Opera, along with Parliament and Karlskirche.

Grand civic buildings line the boulevard laid out after the city’s old fortifications were removed. Together with the lanes of the Inner Stadt, they reveal Vienna’s transition from imperial seat to modern cultural capital.

Take a brief stroll through Tábor, a Czech town with deep connections to the Hussite movement. Look for the Gothic and Renaissance details around its historic centre, with the possibility of seeing Žižkovo Square.

Founded as a Hussite stronghold in the fifteenth century, Tábor preserves a different chapter of Czech history from Prague’s royal landmarks. Its compact old town makes this a worthwhile cultural visit during the journey through southern Bohemia.

Explore Prague with a Local Specialist, walking the courtyards of Prague Castle and visiting St Vitus Cathedral. Cross the Vltava into the Old Town, where winding lanes open onto the square and its fifteenth-century Astronomical Clock.

The cathedral’s Gothic architecture stands within a castle complex associated with Czech rulers for more than a millennium. Across the river, the Old Town’s public square captures Prague’s long life as a centre of trade, ceremony and craftsmanship.

Enjoy an optional Farmhouse Dinner and Polka Party in the Kraków area, pairing home-cooked Polish food with an evening of music and dancing. It is a chance to experience a convivial side of local culture beyond the city’s churches and squares.

Polka’s lively rhythm invites participation as well as listening, giving the meal the feel of a shared celebration. This hosted evening is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Cruise the Danube through Budapest on an optional evening outing with dinner. From the water, take in the riverfront and bridges that connect Buda and Pest as the city’s architecture forms a panorama on either bank.

The Danube has long been central to Budapest’s identity, and a river cruise offers a perspective that a street-level tour cannot. This scenic dining experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Consider an optional trip to Szentendre, a small riverside town near Budapest known for its active arts scene. Explore streets and galleries in a setting that feels distinct from the scale and pace of Hungary’s capital.

Its position beside the Danube and long association with artists make Szentendre an appealing place to discover a different local atmosphere. The optional visit is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Spend an optional evening in Vienna enjoying traditional Austrian cuisine and a musical performance. The combination offers a taste of the city’s dining culture alongside the music for which it is renowned.

Vienna’s performance traditions grew alongside its imperial and civic life, giving music a place in the city’s identity that extends well beyond its concert halls. The itinerary does not specify the programme or venue; this experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Discover Poznan, one of Poland’s oldest cities, during an included visit. Pause in a city whose historic heart reflects centuries of trade and civic life between Berlin and Warsaw.

Poznan played an important role in the early Polish state, and its colourful central streets retain a character distinct from the country’s larger capitals. This stop offers a chance to experience another side of Poland rather than simply passing through its surrounding farmland.
