Famous Fisherman Bastion in Budapest on a summer day, Hungary

Itinerary

Day 01: Los Angeles - Warsaw

Check in at Los Angeles Airport (LAX) or an airport at your convenience. Depart for Warsaw, Poland.

Day 02 : Warsaw

Arrive in Warsaw in the late afternoon. After hotel check-in and dinner, we’ll explore Warsaw night time with perhaps some walking in the Old Town, dropping by a sidewalk cafe and listening to street artists playing some classical music, of which Frederic Chopin was a master composer. Poland is also the birthplace of Pope John Paul II, Marie Curie, and the Solidarity trade union. The mermaid (“syrenka” in Polish) is Warsaw’s symbol and can be found on statues throughout the city. There is one Mermaid Statue in the center of Old Town Square. Legend has it that Triton, a Greek god of the sea, had two daughters. They both set out on a journey through the oceans. One of them reached the Vistula River and rested on the beach of Warszawa village, where fishermen would come to admire her beauty and singing. A greedy merchant also heard her songs. He followed the fishermen and captured the mermaid. Since then, the mermaid has remained Warsaw’s symbol. (D)

Day 03: Lazienki Park - Chopin’s Birthplace

Visit Lazienki Krolewskie Museum, a Palace-Garden complex which includes a park (76 hectares of nature, right in the city center) and numerous historical objects. In the 18th century, it became the most beautiful gardens in Warsaw and one of the most beautiful in Europe. You will be able to see the Chopin Monument at the entrance of the museum. For 50 years, at the foot of this monument, on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer, free piano concerts have been held, gathering crowds of tourists and music lovers from all over the world.

Our guide will take you to the Barbican, a wall built in 1548 to protect the city. The Barbican was destroyed in a World War II bombing and rebuilt afterward. Some of the must-dos while you’re in Warsaw is visiting the Marie Curie Museum and Chopin’s House, and let your soul uplifted with beautiful melodies. (B/D)

Day 04: Jasna Gora Monastery - Auschwitz-Birkenau

With our guide, you will get to visit the Jasna Gora Monastery. It is a famous Polish shrine to the Virgin Mary and one of the country’s places of Catholic pilgrimage. It also houses the image of the Black Madonna, which has been recognized by the Vatican as a precious treasure, along with Lourdes (France) and Fatima (Portugal).

Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, also known as Nazi death camp. This was where almost 2 million Jewish were killed under the Nazi’s rule. In 1979, Auschwitz was recognized as a UNESCO Heritage to remember the horror of the Holocaust. Auschwitz is synonymous with the Holocaust; it has become an overarching symbol of the horror committed by the Nazi regime during the Second World War. From the moment they arrived at the concentration camp, Jews and other Holocaust victims were treated like animals, and only a lucky group survived the experience.
A sobering day in the camp will offer you insight into one of the most tragic periods in human history.
Transfer to Krakow, one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. (B/D)

Day 05: John Paull II Centre - The Divine Mercy Sanctuary - Krakow

This morning, visit John Paul Il Centre.

Continue to The Divine Mercy Sanctuary (St. Faustina Shrine), one of the most sacred and beloved sites among the believers. Her miracle has been canonized in 2000. The last three Popes have visited the Shrine.

Transfer to Krakow. Visit Krakow Old Town with the Wawel Castle built in the Middle Ages. Krakow Old Town is one of the most famous old districts in Poland today and was the center of Poland’s political life from 1038 until 1596, when the function was given to Warsaw. The entire medieval old town is among the first sites chosen for the UNESCO’s original World Heritage List. Krakow Old Town is the central historic district of Krakow and remains the heart of the city. Krakow is one of the most fascinating medieval cities in Europe and one of the few that escaped destruction in World War II. Today, it’s famed for its soaring Gothic church spires and cobblestone streets, while its Old Town heart is attested by UNESCO and known for having one of the liveliest after dark scenes on the continent. Krakow was also the place where Pope Saint John Paul II was head of the Catholic Church from 1978 to 2005. (B/D)

Day 06: Wieliczka Salt Mine - Budapest

Visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a UNESCO heritage. It resembles an underground palace of magnificent beauty, and also reflects a noble tale of a Hungarian princess and a Polish prince. In the 10th century, the mine was already seen as a giant underground maze. The Wieliczka Salt Mine reaches a depth of 327 meters and is over 287 kilometers (178 mi) long. The rock salt is naturally grey in various shades, resembling unpolished granite. There is a luxurious chapel and a reception room that is used for private functions, including weddings.

Transfer and arrive in Budapest, Hungary in the late afternoon.

Welcome to Budapest. At dinner, we will have a special treat for you with fisherman’s soup or halászlé, which is made with fresh water fish and generous amounts of paprika (both sweet and hot). The fisherman’s soup is one particular quintessentially Hungarian dish which cannot be absent from the table of any Hungarian family. (B/D)

Day 07: Budapest

Today you have a full free day to explore Budapest. We’ll visit Fisherman’s Bastion, Buda Castle, St. Stephen’s Basilica. With cobblestone streets, charming castles, and historic churches, Hungary is all class. But what might surprise you is that Hungary is also a burgeoning wine-producing region.

During our trip, we’ll also visit Journalist Hoang Linh, who has lived in Budapest for almost 30 years. He will tell you stories of the history of Hungary and Budapest, just for you to fall in love more with what is called a “Paris of Eastern Europe.”

Known as ‘The Pearl of the Danube’, Budapest is a great city to enjoy from the water. We’ll take a boat trip along the river for spectacular views of the city at night. Now, let the melody of The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II echo in your mind. With our guide, you’ll also get to know about the all-time famous song Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes), composed by Josef Kozma, a Hungarian. (B/D)

Day 08: Bratislava - Vienna

Transfer to Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia, and a former Czechoslovakia affiliation. Visit Bratislava Castle, built in the 16th century.

Continue on to Vienna, Austria, the place that witnessed a golden era of the Habsburg family, of which Queen Maria Theresa was the only female ruler and the last of the dynasty. She was a reformer and fierce ruler who paved the way for compulsory education in Austria.

Admire its cobblestone streets and charming Roman architecture and you will feel lost in a time warp. Be sure to have your camera handy as you capture picturesque surroundings and understand why Cesky Krumlov is listed as one of the 1,000 places to visit before you die. With its simple beauty and wonderfully medieval feel, Cesky Krumlov is the quaint, small-town Europe that many people dream of experiencing.

Our trip in the Czech Republic continues as we move on to Prague. After hotel check-in and dinner, if time allows, your guide will take you out to explore Prague’s made-for-strolling Old Town with Gothic buildings curve and the winding streets.

Trong các chuyến đi tour với AV, chúng tôi thích nhất chuyến đi này. Cảnh trí thơ mộng, đẹp lạ lùng. Lại được quen biết thêm nhiều bạn mới. Ẩm thực thì thôi không chỗ chê, thức ăn ngon miệng và luôn dư thừa, nghĩ bụng sao AV cho ăn nhiều quá thật tốn kém. Chỗ ở thì toàn 5 sao ! Đi tour với AV tình thân như trong gia đình, không dành chỗ và luôn nhường nhịn nhau. Không dám khen thêm, sợ bị cho là “gài độ”. Quý vị nào chưa từng đi tour với AV Travel, xin hãy thử xem nhé. BRAVO Việt Hùng & Simone Nga 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hoài niệm về một chuyến du lịch mùa Thu trời Âu với AV travel.
Gia đình chúng tôi 3 người, đã đi du lịch rất nhiều nơi, đã thử qua vài công ty du lịch khác AV, sau vài chuyến thì đã có sự so sánh rõ ràng. AV là nơi đáng tin cậy, và họ sẽ làm tất cả những gì tốt nhất để làm khách hàng vừa lòng. ( dĩ nhiên cũng có người yêu người ghét, nhưng đối với chúng tôi, cách phục vụ như thế là Outstanding) . Đây là lần thứ ba , gia đình chúng tôi lại book với AV, lần này, có thêm 2 cặp vợ chồng mà chúng tôi đã quen nhau từ Tours trước, nên chúng tôi rất náo nức. Chúng tôi đã đi 2 tours trước với anh Hùng, lần này có cả anh Hùng và chị Nga , nên đối với chúng tôi, quả thật là Beyond expectations. Gởi đến các bạn những hình chụp trong Tours này, để thấy được, lúc chúng ta vui chơi thì lúc nào cũng có người lo lắng từng miếng ăn giấc ngủ, nơi tham quan, góc chụp hình ” ấn tượng ” làm cho chuyến đi thêm phần thú vị.
Thanks anh Hùng, chị Nga, Hoàng Linh and your wonderful staffs for the Outstanding services. The trip was well organized. We have an incredible assortment of people from all the US. And the most important thing: Everyone got along, make new friends like we did.
❤❤❤
