The Magical Atmosphere of Historic Royal Cities – Budapest and Bratislava

Treat yourself to a two-day escape to two enchanting capitals on the Danube! Budapest and Bratislava invite you to discover magnificent buildings, picturesque squares, and streets steeped in royal history. Wonderful views, leisurely strolls, and time to sample local specialities await.

December departures will have an extra touch of festive magic: city lights, fragrant market stalls, and a warming drink will perfectly complement your sightseeing. Whatever your chosen departure date, this is a lovely opportunity for a getaway as a couple, a trip with friends, or a short break filled with new experiences.


Day 1: Slovenia – Budapest

Lively city streets and evening views of the Hungarian capital

We will depart in the morning by comfortable touring coach, travelling towards Lendava and onwards through Hungary to Budapest.

On arrival in the Hungarian capital, we will enjoy a panoramic city sightseeing tour. The afternoon will be spent on the famous Váci Street. During the Christmas season, we will stroll among traditional festive stalls and soak up the lively city atmosphere.

After refreshments, we will drive up to the Citadel, where we will enjoy beautiful views of Budapest in the evening.

We will then travel to the hotel for check-in and an overnight stay.


Day 2: Bratislava – Slovenia

Following in the footsteps of crowned monarchs among picturesque squares and palaces

Our second day will be devoted to the Slovak capital. After breakfast, we will travel to Bratislava, a city that surprises visitors with the contrast between its modern suburbs and compact historic centre beneath an imposing castle.

Our panoramic city tour will end at Bratislava Castle, where we will enjoy wonderful views before making our way down to the old town. We will see St Martin’s Cathedral, the former coronation church of Hungarian monarchs, where Maria Theresa was also crowned.

Our walk will take us past the palace where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed as a child, before continuing to Michael’s Gate and the Main Square.

During Advent, the aromas of Christmas market stalls fill the square and the surrounding streets and squares. There will be an opportunity to try potato pancakes, apple pie, or other local specialities, perhaps accompanied by mulled wine, punch, or mead. With happy memories of our visit, we will return home by the evening.
