Germany, Austria & Hungary,
castles, cable cars and thermal baths.
The gentlest of our Europe itineraries and the easiest to travel with three generations. Munich opens it with BMW Welt, the Zugspitze by cable car and a full day at Neuschwanstein. Innsbruck follows — a Tyrolean mountain capital most people book as a stopover and then wish they had given another night. Vienna brings Schönbrunn and a guided day to Salzburg and Hallstatt, and Budapest closes with a Danube cruise and the Széchenyi thermal bath.

“Three full-day trips, four bases and short train legs between them. This is the one I put grandparents and small children on together, and it is the only one where nobody ends up compromising.”

When to visit
Our pick — alpine snow still on the peaks, everything open, mild in the cities
Equally good. Hallstatt and Salzburg are far quieter than in summer.
Christmas markets in Munich, Vienna and Budapest — cold, dark early, and worth it
Hallstatt is overwhelmed. We shift the timings but the crowds are real.
Things to do in Germany, Austria & Hungary
Neuschwanstein Castle
The castle every fairy-tale castle since has been imitating. A full day from Munich, and the interior tour books out weeks ahead.
The Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak by cable car, with snow at the top for most of the year, and the village of Garmisch on the way back.
Swarovski Kristallwelten
The crystal worlds under the giant's head at Wattens, outside Innsbruck. Coach and entry ticket both arranged.
Salzburg and Hallstatt
One guided day, picked up and dropped at the city centre. Hallstatt is the lakeside village on every postcard of Austria, and it earns it.
Schönbrunn Palace
The Habsburg summer palace from the inside, with the gardens, on a deliberately relaxed Vienna day.
Széchenyi thermal bath
The grandest spa in Europe, and outdoors even in winter. Then Buda Castle, the Fisherman's Bastion and Heroes' Square.
