Highlights

Prague & Munich combo weekend!  A chance to enjoy two of the most beautiful, historic and largest beer consuming places on the planet in one weekend!

Prague - The golden city, incredible architecture and sights, Charles bridge, Prague castle (the largest in the world), the ancient Jewish quarter, Easter European prices, Starbucks and other western food chains, wild nightlife & Czech Beer (pints for $1). Surely one of the most intriguing cities in the world as well as one of the most exciting in Europe, Prague is a trip not to be missed!  

Munich - The land of lederhosen, pretzels and beer – and Oktoberfest!  This famous Bavarian city as all of the culture, history, museums and of course beer to make it one of the world’s greatest cities!  Munich’s reputation for being Europe’s most fun city is well-deserved, as no matter what season or time of year, there’s always a reason for a celebration!

**Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.
