Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Journey to Prague

   MEETING POINT AND COMFORTABLE OVERNIGHT DRIVE We pick up our valued guests at the designated boarding points with Big Bus Europa's luxurious and comfortable coaches and, accompanied by our professional drivers and our guide, set off on a pleasant, safe and comfortable overnight journey towards Prague. We arrive in Prague in the morning hours. Before entering the city we have breakfast to shake off the fatigue of the road and start the day with energy, and afterwards we begin our Prague city tour with our guide's commentary – a city where art and culture spill out of every corner. We see the historic Old Town and the Castle District, Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square, the historic Astronomical Clock Tower and the Týn Church. Following our guide's recommendations there is free time for shopping, tasting local flavours and taking photographs, after which those guests who wish join our boat trip to see Prague from the river as well – a chance to photograph the city's historic bridges and buildings from different angles. After this full day we transfer by coach to our hotel, check in and take a short rest. After checking in and the short break, guests who wish can use their free time to discover Prague under the evening lights, have dinner in local restaurants or enjoy the lively streets of Prague. Overnight at our hotel.

2. Day 2

   Karlovy Vary

   After leaving the hotel in the morning we head for Karlovy Vary, the spa town famous for its healing thermal springs and striking architecture. We spend the day walking through the historic town centre, where we see from the outside the hotel in which Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk stayed in 1918. We then discover the magnificent palaces lined up along the river and the houses of world-famous artists, and visit the thermal colonnades where the healing waters come to the surface. After free time for Czech porcelain, crystal and the famous Karlovy Vary wafers, we begin our return journey and head towards Germany. Late in the evening we bring you safely back to the boarding points of the first day with Big Bus Europa comfort and assurance and conclude our tour – until we meet again on our next journey. Thank you for discovering the world with us!
