Budapest and Vienna are a happy combination, allowing you to compare the imperial cities of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and see how they thrive today. First you will have three nights to explore Budapest, where the Danube River winds past Buda, situated on the hills, and Pest, the flat commercial district offering exciting shopping and many of the government institutions. You will enjoy Budapest's monuments lit up at night, its unique heritage and folk music, and its remarkable cuisine, then off to Vienna where you will have another three delightful nights. Vienna offers imperial grandeur in the form of its famous opera house and Schonbrunn Palace, but there is also a coffeehouse at every turn and you will have time to listen for the echoes of the great masters who lived and worked here, from Mozart to Strauss and everyone in between.
