Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Days 1-2	Prague	Step back through the ages in Prague. Admire the contrasting architectural styles - from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance to Gothic, Neo-Classical to Avant Garde - on a walk through the city. The controversial yet unique 'Dancing Building' on the banks of the Vltava is a surrealist dream.
Day 3	Cesky Krumlov	The fairytale town of Cesky Krumlov is home to the second largest castle in the country. After lunch, wander down the narrow alleyways of the pretty Old Town on an informative walking tour with a local guide. For spectacular views over the Vltava River, consider climbing the castle tower.
Days 4-5	Vienna	Music and art are the cultural cornerstones of Vienna. Visit magnificent Schonbrunn Palace, and take the time to explore the city where Beethoven honed his craft. Afterwards, don't miss indulging in the great Viennese tradition of coffee and sacher torte.
Days 6-7	Budapest	Welcome to the gleaming pearl of the Danube. Stroll across Chain Bridge for a spectacular view of the Castle District, or freshen up before dinner with a trip to the thermal baths. Why not take a walking tour to get a feel for the city's communist past?
Days 8-9	Split	This busy city is home to one of the most interesting Roman ruins on the Adriatic coast - the Palace of Diocletian. Kick back in the spacious central Peristyle and spend the afternoon discovering the story behind this enormous structure and the Emperor who created it.
Days 10-11	Dubrovnik	The road to the picturesque city of Dubrovnik is incredibly scenic, passing olive groves, vineyards, dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches. Walk along Dubrovnik's ramparts for breathtaking ocean vistas and climb the steep path to the top of Mt Srd for the best views in the country.
Day 12	Rovinj	This seaside town has a very Venetian feel about it, the legacy of centuries of Venetian rule, and is the perfect place to unwind. Sunbathe on a beautiful beach or relax at one of Rovinj's many sidewalk restaurants.
Days 13-15	Bled	En route to Bled, enjoy a culinary workshop at Motovun, a walled town on a rocky outcrop. Learn about truffles and smoking ham, and taste these delightful delicacies. Later, ascend Mt Vogel by cable car for a hike in the classic alpine landscape. There is ample free time to try one of Bled's numerous outdoor activities.
