In Europe you’d be surprised at just how easy it is to see multiple destinations and cities in a short period of time. And it can also be done at a very low cost. Here is a four destination trip where you’d visit the capitals of Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary.
Of course, you could always adjust your plans and skip some places, but if you wanted to do all of them it would be easy from a route such as below. After each destination, you will find information on some of the highlights, as well as public transport costs and duration between each place.
Often when I travel I use FlixBus to get around as they are cheap and offer a great quality bus service but you can also get the train. Find trains and other transport using Omio. If you need a flight then have a look on Expedia to find and compare options.
Destination 1. Berlin, Germany
A good place to start this multi-destination trip is Berlin. This city is the capital of Germany and a great place to learn about the country and some of its culture and history. Berlin has lots of things to see and a few of my favourites are below.
Highlights of Berlin
- Reichstag Building (Germany’s parliament)
- Charlottenburg Palace
- Brandenburg Gate
- Holocaust memorial
- Berliner Fernsehturm
- East Side Gallery
Destination 2. Prague, Czech Republic
Prague has beautiful architecture, great nightlife and delicious local food. If you decided to visit at Christmas you would have a chance to visit the wonderful market at Old Town Square. One of the things I really like about Prague is all the viewpoints that you’ll find around the city. These provide fantastic perspectives of the city, allowing you to relax and enjoy the view as well as capture amazing pictures. Getting from Berlin to Prague is only a short bus or train ride away, making it a great next stop for this multi-destination trip.
