Select participants and date
Boarding the coach at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, the city recedes and a corridor of highways stitches you to seven countries in seven days. The rhythm of the trip is measured by roads and river bends: 530 km on day one to Prague, a 330 km transfer to Bratislava, then the Danube’s sweep into Budapest. Each city arrives like a new movement—Prague’s turrets and cobbled corridors, Budapest’s twin personalities split by the Danube, Vienna’s imperial facades, and then the abrupt alpine crescendo at Mount Titlis where a revolving gondola deposits you above a glacier.

Adventure Tips
Pack light and layered
Space is limited to one main bag (max 30 kg) plus a small carry-on—use layers to handle river fog in the morning and alpine chill on Titlis.
Passport and documents
Carry your passport (valid at least 6 months) and any required visas; the tour operator will check details before departure.
Comfortable walking shoes
Cobblestones, stairs and short uphill stretches are frequent—sturdy shoes will keep you comfortable during city walks and fortress visits.
Bring local currency and cards
Card payments are widely accepted but small vendors, markets and taxis in towns like Mondsee or Titisee may prefer cash (euros/Swiss francs).
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Red deer (in forested Black Forest areas)
