Full Central Europe Tour Berlin & Prague & Vienna Route

• Our recommendation for an evening activity in Prague is the Czech Night Event; you can enjoy a wonderful dinner at one of the city’s finest restaurants accompanied by local dance performances, and have the chance to get to know Czech folk dances, music, and musical instruments more closely. Another evening activity recommendation in Prague, one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals, is a boat tour on the Vltava River, famous for its canals that divide the city into two and bring it to life, where you can watch the fairy-tale city of Prague in both daytime and nighttime views.

• In Vienna, the capital of art, as an evening activity, you can attend the Vienna Concert Event. At this concert, which takes place accompanied by the salon orchestra that made Vienna famous worldwide, magnificent soloists, and waltzes you will never tire of watching, you will experience an unforgettable night.

If sufficient numbers are not reached, the excursions may not take place or the prices, content, and vehicle to be used for optional tours/activities may vary according to the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of optional tours/activities may be changed by the guide according to the opening/closing status of museums, ruins, or venues at the destinations to be visited and according to weather conditions.

ACCOMMODATION

During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used farther than the distances specified in kilometers. 

Triple rooms may be allocated depending on hotel availability, and the bed provided for the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable or coach beds, participants in 3rd-person and/or child reservations are deemed to have accepted the possible cramped space in the rooms and the bed type. 

Child discounts are valid for one (1) child staying with 2 adults and matching the age group specified in the pricing section. 

Breakfasts taken at the hotel from the services included in the tour program are offered in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country you are in and generally with a limited menu called continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall allocated to the group.

TIME ZONE

Germany, Austria, Czechia, and Hungary are 3 hours behind Turkey during daylight saving time and 2 hours behind during winter time.

For example, when it is 18:30 in Turkey in summer, it is 15:30 in Germany.

CLOTHING AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS

If traveling in the summer season, we recommend bringing T-shirts that can be easily put on and taken off, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton trousers, shorts, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket, and a thin sweater for the evenings. In addition, you may also bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, a video camera, and their chargers and spare memory cards. In winter, we recommend clothing that allows you to move comfortably and keeps you warm.

CUISINE

When German cuisine is mentioned, cakes, potatoes, and of course beer come to mind first. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetable dishes, there is also a very rich selection of beer and wine. 

The flavors and ingredients in Austrian cuisine are largely inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its most well-known dish is schnitzel, and meat dishes are predominant. 

Czech cuisine has been influenced by all the surrounding countries and is a true Central European synthesis. 

Hungarian cuisine, considered among the world’s most important cuisines, is quite colorful and rich. Meat dishes are common, and freshly made homemade pasta is also an important part of the cuisine. “Goulash,” considered the Hungarian national dish, is one of the best-known flavors. 

SHOPPING

Shopping opportunities are available in shopping centers located in city centers and from small stalls selling souvenirs.
