You begin before dawn in Budapest, the Danube cutting a cool line through the city, loading into a private car as the streets unfurl behind you. The drive eastward eases from river flats into the low rolling hills of the Carpathian Basin; by midmorning Vienna’s broad boulevards and imperial façades rise into view, and the pace shifts from motorway hum to cobbled pedestrian streets.
