8 Days in Central Europe: Prague, Vienna, Budapest

Group of travelers posing indoors beneath leafy trees, wearing Day of the Dead face paint and floral crowns, with casual clothing and smiling expressions during a cultural experience in Oaxaca.

We recently wrapped up our first Central Europe trip which took place during the Christmas Markets! There’s no better time to highlight this departure and give it some love. U30X Prague, Vienna, Budapest has taken off!

Our Ireland Trip Leader, Tom, joined the group and snapped some beautiful pictures.

The European Christmas Markets are street markets associated with celebrating Christmas during the four weeks of Advent. These markets originated in Germany but are now held in many countries (psst, we’ll experience them on both December trips!).

Sip on Grog and enjoy the magic of the holidays with new friends.

Grog: The Czech variation on a “hot toddy” which combines Czech rum, hot water, lemon and sugar added to taste.

If you’re into museums, art, history, and walking tours - you’ll love this trip! You can experience the magic of Europe your way while traveling with new friends and a local guide. Let's jump in with some pictures from each day.
