The Imperial Cities
Three capitals of one old empire, no airports in between, and a free day in each.
The trip
Three capitals of one old empire, no airports in between, and a free day in each.
These three cities were run from the same throne for four hundred years, which is why they rhyme with one another and why the trains between them are still fast, quiet and civilised. You get three nights in each: enough for the guided day, the set-piece day, and a day of nothing in particular. Prague gives you the castle and St Vitus, then a day out at Adrspach, a labyrinth of sandstone towers most visitors never hear about. Vienna gives you the Ringstrasse and three hours inside Schonbrunn. Budapest gives you the Fisherman's Bastion, the Danube bend at Esztergom and Visegrad, and the artists' town of Szentendre. Each city's Islamic centre is confirmed before you land.
Prague Castle, Adrspach rock labyrinth hiking tour, Schönbrunn Palace, first-class train travel between all three cities
