GRAND EUROPEAN CRUISE
Pretty in Passau – St. Stephan’s green-domed Cathedral, a Gothic town hall, picturesque lanes and a riverfront promenade
At Heroes’ Square in Budapest, you’ll find a grand square commemorating a thousand years of Magyar history. It lies at the far end of Andrássy Avenue, the stately boulevard that travels from the city center out to Városliget (City Park). The avenue is the home to the State Opera House, eclectic villas, chic cafés, restaurants and boutiques.
Tauck crosses the heart of Europe on this two-week awe-inspiring adventure, combining Amsterdam to Budapest by Riverboat and Budapest to the Black Sea, for a 21-night cruise along the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers – from the North to the Black seas – ending with a 2-night stay at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel.
Join us as we navigate through European history and beauty along Amsterdam’s 17th-century canals, inside Cologne’s twin-towered cathedral, in the fairy-tale town of Rothenburg, at Würzburg’s princely palace, with a choice of medieval or World War II Nürnberg sightseeing, in Regensburg’s Thurn & Taxis palace, at a 900-year-old Melk abbey, in a palace library in Kalocsa and on a day visiting Romania’s Black Sea coast.
And delve into the cultural riches of nine countries with an all-included: Imperial Evening at Palais Pallavicini, tour of Würzburg’s Residenz Palace, sightseeing in Buda and Pest, private visit to Belgrade’s Royal Palace, walking tour of Old Town Bratislava, hike to the Rock Churches of Ivanovo and day trip to the Black Sea coast.
