After breakfast, we’ll begin with a survey tour of Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city, and drive on to visit the Rhine Falls, the largest single waterfall in Europe, which measures 150 meters at its widest point. We’ll then continue with our tour, winding through a portion of the fairytale Black Forest, so named for the sheer number of conifer trees that densely fill the forest soil, blocking out much of the light from above. We’ll emerge at Titisee, a small town at the edge of Lake Titisee, where the cuckoo clock was first invented. While there, we’ll eat lunch, which will include a dessert course of the famous Black Forest cake. We’ll then travel to Frankfurt, Germany, where we should arrive in the evening.

From Frankfurt, we set out in the morning for Prague, the lovely capital city of the Czech Republic. The thousand-year history of the city is deeply colored by past conflict, from the days of the Holy Roman Empire, through both World Wars, the Velvet Revolution and the end of Communist rule in 1989. In this prominent city, we’ll spend the night.

After breakfast in Bratislava, we’ll drive to Budapest. This city has been lauded as one of the most beautiful in Europe, and perennially ranks among Eastern Europe’s most livable destinations. Once two separate cities, Budapest is divided by the Danube River into Buda, on the west bank, and Pest on the east. First we’ll explore the western half of the city, seeing the Fisherman’s Bastion* and Matthias Church*, at the heart of the Buda Castle district. Then we’ll cross the Danube over the Elizabeth Bridge, one of the newest to connect the two sides of the city, and stop at Heroes’ Square, where an arc of statues commemorates the many heroes in Hungary’s storied past.

Although Salzburg is ranked as Austria’s fourth-largest city, it has held on firmly to its history, and is considered one of the best preserved city centers north of the Alps.

Titlis. The cable car will give you a 360 degree view of the country as you slowly crawl through the sky. After lunch on the mountain, we’ll descend to the city of Lucerne to view the medieval scenery and architecture, walk across the wooden Kapell Bridge, and alongside the lovely Lake Lucerne.

Then we’ll head to glass-covered 19th Century shopping plaza, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, followed by a visit to the world-renowned La Scala Opera House, a picturesque example of traditional Italian architecture. Afterwards, we’ll drive to the city of Verona, filled with both historical buildings and romance. We stop first at the Verona Arena, a Roman Amphitheatre considered one of the best preserved ancient structures of its kind. Then we’ll walk the streets that served as a setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, including the short passageway leading to the Balcony of Juliet at Villa Capuleti, a pilgrimage place for lovers and now a popular wedding venue.
