Day 3 Day 3: Budapest - Krakow
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 3: Budapest - Krakow

After saying bye to Budapest, we will start our day heading to impressive Tatras mountains, that mark the border between Poland and Slovakia.

This drive is especially pleasant to nature lovers. Once in Slovakia, only a few kilometers after crossing the border, we will visit a tiny town called Oravsky Podzamok, where we will visit one of the oldest castles in Slovakia, the Orava Castle (optional entrance).

We will arrive to another country which was scene to many battles and bombings along the II. World War: Poland. Almost all the Polish cities have been totaly destroyed and there are very few with such an intact old town. One of them is Wroclaw, where we will make a stop if everything goes as planned, to feel the atmosphere of this young city, where more than 100 bridges cross the river Oder. From there, we will follow to the south of Poland, where the cultural and touristic capital of Poland lays: Krakow.

*Optional Activity: Excursion to Orava Castle
Day 4 Day 4: Krakow - Auschwitz*
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: Krakow - Auschwitz*

Krakow is the cultural expression of Poland, given its history: here you will have the chance to enjoy different zones developed in different eras, and that didn’t suffer relevant harms during the II World War. The medieval old town is perfectly conserved and it’s possible to walk through it following the royal path that goes from the north to the south of the city, starting at the Barbican, crossing the market square, the biggest in Europe, which is dominated by the Saint Mary’s cathedral, and finishing at the legendary castle Wawel, which overlooks the river Vistula.

In the XIX century, the jewish quarter was developed on the south from the castle, the most active and characteristic quarter of the town. This quarter was converted into a ghetto during the Nazi control and it’s where Schindler lived, a german that saved thousands of jewish lives, lying to german authorities and whose story was reflected in a movie of Steven Spielberg.

Moreover, Krakow has a district that is characterised by communist architecture, known by urbanists from all around the world as Nowa Huta. This also happens to be a very well developed industrial zone.

Close to Krakow, about a one hour driving distance, the only concentration camp that survived the german autodestruction in their attempts to erase the proofs of the existence of these camps.

Auschwitz is a place of memory and reflexion, where a local guide will speak to us either in english or in spanish about all the absurdities of the Nazi regime and about the physical and moral destruction that jews had to bear.

*Optional Activity: Trip to Auschwitz
Day 5 Day 5: Krakow - Prague
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 6 Day 6: Prague
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 6: Prague

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic laying on the Vltava River is the largest city in the region of Bohemia. During its history, it has received many names, such as “The Golden City”, “City of a Hundred Spires” and “The Heart of Europe”.

Lets make the most of the morning to visit this incredible city. We’ll go from the gunpowder tower and pass by the beautiful, modernist Municipal House to the Wenceslas square, universally known for the scene in “Prague Spring”. The state theatre, where various works of Mozart were first shown, and the Jewish District are all close by. After, we can pass by the Clementinum, the old Jesuit college, to finally arrive at the Charles Bridge, with its 30 famous barroque sculptures. If we have time, we can head to the “Old town Square” with its outstanding and fascinating astronomical clock.

In the afternoon we still have a lot to see of this beautiful city. If you have the energy, you can follow the path up to the Prague Castle, which sits in the bend of the Moldava river, and is the biggest castle in the world. Get to know its patios, where we will find the Saint Vito Cathedral, with its artistic treasures, gothic palaces and ancient palace of the Bohemian kingswith the magnificent hall of Vladislav, which was the biggest civil hall in Europe in its time. Also, the St George Basilica, made in the year 920 and the Golden Lane, where the castle guards, medieval artisans, goldsmiths, alchemists and even the great Franz Kafka all stayed.

We hope that you didn’t get too tired today, because there is a huge variety of czech beer and it’s very very cheap…

We will continue to the Checkpoint Charlie, running across a good portion of the formerly wall of Berlin, destroyed in ’89, surely the most important political event of Germany in the past 50 years. If there is time, we will get to famous Alexanderplatz, where you will have an opportunity to lift up to symbol of the Berlin skyline, the TV tower, and watch the impressive views.

You will have a chance to choose whether to spend the day with us and a professional local guide who will explain even the finest detail of what lays behind the buildings of Berlin, among all Reichstag, the Parliament of Germany, next to it the iconic Brandenburg Gate, and famous monument to holocaust, masterpiece of Heisman.
