“I visited 7 cities in 6 countries in 17 days. I traveled 1948 km by train and boat. I walked 163.2 km; 224,352 steps and 225 stairs. But most important of all, I made a million memories 😍🙌🏻🚂”. - Rebecca
1. Poland
Kraków
From the Royal Castle on Wawel Hill that continues to convey the full might of Poland's historic monarchy, to the Main Square in the Old Town, Kraków symbolizes the wealth and authority that the city has boasted since medieval times.
2. Germany
Berlin
Berlin is the capital of Germany and a one-stop melting pot of culture, entertainment and history. Imposing buildings and monuments are scattered throughout the city, serving as a stark reminder of its turbulent history. The Berlin Wall once divided East from West Germany, and since it crumbled in 1989 the city has become the gateway connecting eastern and western Europe.
Berlin's most famous landmark is the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), once a symbol of a divided nation and now a symbol of unity and peace. You should also visit the rebuilt Reichstag, the Checkpoint Charlie Museum, the fully restored Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) and the Berlin Wall Museum.
3. Czech Republic
Prague
Charles Bridge is a tourist attraction in its own right and the oldest bridge in Prague. It spans an impressive 516 metres across the Vltava river and boasts 30 sculptures of saints on the balustrade. You can touch the statue of St. John of Nepomuk to bring you good fortune. Don’t forget to visit the Old Town Square to view the Astronomical Clock and find somewhere that sells trdelník - a traditional Slovak pastry that originates from the Hungarian-speaking region of Transylvania.
4. Austria
Vienna
Within 4 hours and 5 minutes, you’ll arrive in Vienna – the capital of music, sachertorte (chocolate sponge cake with apricot filling) and insanely impressive buildings. You’re spoilt for choice with all the palaces, gardens, museums and the State Opera House (the opera is optional, sampling the cakes is not). The city is packed full of history and each building has its own unique story, so give yourself plenty of time to explore.
5. Slovakia
6. Hungary
