Budapest to Vienna to Prague to Munich. A great way to travel.

My wife and I travelled from Australia for a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest and then one week travel in Central Europe. After the river cruise, we chose Sidetriptours to take just the two of us, between cities with along-the-route tours of interest, from Budapest (we stayed 2 nights) then to Vienna (we stayed 3 nights) then to Prague (we stayed 3 nights) then to Munich Airport. By email with Peter, we arranged all our trips and found the communication and arrangements very easy. Martina drove us from Budapest with 4 stops, in a very comfortable Renault minivan. Zuzana and Vera drove us from Vienna with 4 stops, also in a very comfortable minivan. Sharka drove us from Prague in a Skoda car with 3 stops. This was an affordable and much more comfortable way to travel than train or bus or airplane, being collected directly from the ship or our hotel and delivered to the next hotel. All 4 of these ladies were excellent drivers and we felt very safe on each journey. Of course there was not a lot of time at each stop but our hosts were also very good at showing us around the stops with a short tour and talk about each of the historic attractions and their towns. We had wonderful conversations about our different cultures and learnt a lot about the people and countries that we drove through. Highly recommend Sidetriptours.

  About Lednice
  Lednice Palace and Grounds is a fabulous example of wealth the nobility had in Europe in the 19th century. The Lichtenstein family had huge landholdings in the area that they had gathered gradually over the centuries through conquering, marrying, and buying. It was their loyalty to the Habsburg dynasty that raised the Lichtensteins to great prominence in the Austria-Hungarian Empire.

  About Mikulov Wine Region
  Mikulov Wine Region in South Moravia is famous for its vineyards. If you think Czech Republic associates only with beer then think again! Wine from this country and especially from Moravia is world famous. The tradition of growing grapes here dates back to Roman period in the third century. Yet Mikulov region grew famous for wine in medieval times. And despite the many wars that have raged in Europe in this area the vineyards have never died out. The region’s lime-rich soil and favorable climate is best for different types of white wine grapes. The tradition of growing these grapes is carried by family owned little vineyards.

  Znojmo

  What we'll do
  Walking the narrow streets and crooked back alleys in search of stunning views from the top of the hill is great fun. You will see the beautiful St Nicholas Church and the Town Hall , not to mention the breathtaking views over the river. Our stop in Znojmo is also just in time for a lunch break (not included) to refresh ourselves. This city is well off the beaten path in the Czech Republic and takes you away from the usual touristy sights.

  
  

  About Znojmo
  Znojmo, with population around 33 000 people is the second largest city in South Moravia after Brno. Znojmo gains city rights in 13th century, the settlement grew around an earlier fortress. The city is located on a strategic hill by the Thaya River and this gives Znojmo a unique hilly street layout.

Today we can enjoy the outcome - the multicoloured houses with high gables in Renaissance style lining the square. This beautiful Old Town is under UNESCO World Heritage protection.
