Great Trip from Vienna to Prague

We traveled from Vienna to Prague on 4/8/23 and it was a great trip. Our guide, Sarka was so pleasant and informative. She is very knowledgeable of all the places we stopped and it was so nice to have an interpreter with us and a very comfortable van to get around in. She introduced us to authentic food of the area and we had a very pleasant lunch. Before dropping us at our hotel, she gave us some very helpful hints and local places to eat. I would HIGHLY recommend this service and thankful that SideTrip worked with us to make this happen over the holiday weekend.

  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.
