Join WUSF for an exciting trip to three beautiful capitals of art and culture in Central Europe next Spring!
Budapest, Vienna and Prague were linked for centuries by the Habsburg dynasty. The succession of rulers provided a cultural milieu where the nurturing of artists established important traditions that endure to this day.
We begin in the fascinating city of Budapest, its two sections straddling the Danube, connected by a series of impressive bridges. With the city’s attractive mix of eclectic architecture, café culture, thermal baths, and burgeoning nightlife, you will spend three nights reveling in the 5-star Gresham Palace Four Seasons with a view of the mighty river from your window.
Moving on to Vienna for four nights, we’ll stroll the historic center, view the rich treasure chamber of the Habsburgs, have a private, pre-hours tour of the city’s finest art museum, and travel to the wine-growing region of the Wachau. You will have the option of attending a performance of Beethoven’s monumental 9th Symphony played by the Vienna Philharmonic in one of the world’s great concert halls.
In Prague, from the charming Old Town to the Castle District above it, the historic Jewish Quarter to the lovely and quiet “Little Quarter” where our hotel is located, one of Europe’s most beautiful cities awaits you.
We will explore these three great cities with style: deluxe 5-star hotels, fine dining, delightful cafés, expert guides, private experiences exclusive to the group, and plenty of free time. Best of all, your companions throughout the trip are like-minded fellow WUSF listeners.
The tour is limited to only 25 participants, so make your plans and sign up soon.
