High Culture: Experience the Best on a Tour of European Cities

The best European cities are those that capture the cultural richness of each region. For lovers of classical music, museums, art galleries, and heritage architecture there are some outstanding options. No matter how many days you assign to your getaway, you will find that there is no lack of things to see and do while visiting these cities. Make the best of your time by letting an Enchanting Travels expert help you craft a perfectly harmonic itinerary.

Spires of churches and towers dominate the skyline of the atmospheric Czech capital, Prague. On a hilltop above the city, Prague Castle is a grand complex of architectural wonders that hosted Bohemian royalty for centuries. Back in the city, cross the 14th-century Charles Bridge, the city’s most famous attraction. Wander the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, making sure you stop at the astronomical clock. Spend a morning in the Jewish Quarter and the afternoon at Strahov Monastery. Prague is famous for its beer halls serving all kinds of lagers and homebrews; wind down with beer and conversation at a typical Czech pub.

Tour the Hungarian Parliament Building and Castle district, where Budapest’s most significant monuments and museums are located. Cruise the mighty Danube, which divides this great city into historic Buda and modern Pest. An essential aspect of this city is its therapeutic hot springs which can be experienced in traditional thermal baths or lavish spas.

With its unmatched line-up of art, music, and architecture, Vienna’s cultural scene shines bright. The Austrian capital has a packed cultural calendar, and you’d do well to book yourself an evening of opera, music, dance, or theater. Vienna impresses at every turn: grand baroque palaces at its historic center, Gothic churches, art nouveau train stations. Savor this city’s legacy of art in the MuseumQuartier with a break for lavish sachertorte and coffee at an iconic Viennese coffee house. From Vienna, you could also visit Salzburg at the foot of the Alps, which form a stunning backdrop to this historic Austrian city. The 900-year-old Hohensalzburg Fortress towers over the city, which is sometimes more famous as the birthplace of Mozart and for sites where The Sound of Music was filmed. No less important however are its baroque cathedrals and palaces, found on both sides of the River Salzach. Plan to catch an evening concert at Mirabell Palace, but arrive early enough to amble through its lovely gardens.

Amsterdam has a reputation for being welcoming and multicultural. It is trendy and hip, but preserves its history with pride. Impressive museums display fantastic art from Dutch masters like Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, but also a host of contemporary greats. The best way to explore the heart of the capital of the Netherlands is to take a canal boat cruise, floating past historic brick buildings and pretty bridges. This city overflows with eclectic eating options ranging from Michelin-starred fine dining spaces to local markets serving warm, divine stroopwafels.

What Our Guests Say

A three-week trip to various parts of the UK seemed too much for us to plan and execute, so I was glad when a friend told me about her magical UK trip. She had relied on the expertise of Cherisse Liptzin and ET. From the first meeting, we were impressed. Cherisse asked great questions to figure out our expectations, preferences, and wishes. She offered suggestions based on her time traveling throughout the UK. She was flexible when we made changes to our initial plan and when we added further edits and additional days. Her guidance was superb! Then, she handed us over to our trip coordinator, Namrata Gupta who worked with us before and throughout our time in the UK. Namrata, in her intro message, assured us that we wouldn’t need to worry about a thing – that she would take care of everything. That big promise was proven to be 100% genuine and true. We had several unforeseen issues arise, and she helped us resolve everything. We didn’t miss a bit of the fun and enjoyment of the trip thanks to this dear, responsive, smart trip coordinator who answered the call, going above and beyond every time we needed her help. ET has a process that ensures your travel will be enjoyable, safe, and easy. We give them our highest recommendation. In fact, we’re already planning our next journeys with their wise guidance and help. We’re thrilled to travel with ET!

Enchanting Travels made planning my trip to Ireland very easy and stress free. The experience with Enchanting Travels and finally getting to visit Ireland was a dream come true. I am so glad I did it! I had to go to Ireland by myself, but I didn’t feel like I was alone. My travel guide checked in with me everyday to make sure things were going well. I had my personal chauffeur/tour guide who was with me at least 8 hours a day so I wasn’t completely by myself. I felt very safe and well taken care of. Don’t hesitate to use Enchanting Travels for your next trip. They are the best!

Enchanting Travels is a wonderful agency that we have now used twice for two long trips, one to Peru and one to Spain and Portugal. Their guidance in planning our trip was outstanding, always with an eye toward accommodating our desires and needs but also with wonderful suggestions made to enhance our experience. All of the staff that we have interacted with at Enchanting Travels have been friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. During our trips, the transfers have been seamless, the accommodations very much to our liking, and the guides outstanding. The 24/7 support that they provide during our trip takes all the stress out of our travel. We will definitely be using Enchanting Travels again for our next trip abroad.

This was our first start to finish planned tour by an agency like Enchanting Travel. We opted to go with them rather than a Duro Valley boat cruise and are so glad be did. The breadth of experiences in 10 days was simply excellent – we feel we now know so much more about Portugal’s rich history and fantastic tourism offerings.

Lauren Bukowski tailored the Italian trip spot on for our small travel group of 4. She listened well to our goals of the trip and was able to provide excellent accommodations in Rome and Florence, with well curated tours of Rome such as the Roman ruins, Vatican and Panthenon.. Florence was equally done very well with trips to Chianti region, Cinque Terre and the museums in Florence. In addition to the delightful trip the travel connections were seamless. This was certainly appreciated. We would definitely use Lauren and Enchanting Travels again. Thanks for the wonderful trip to Italy 🇮🇹 Sheila, Carol, Carolyn and Brent
