Day 1

Welcome to Prague!

Welcome to Prague! Meet your Trip Leader at Václav Havel Prague International Airport at 3:00 pm. and take included transportation to your hotel in the heart of the capital of the Czech Republic.

Join your Trip Leader and your new friends for an included dinner and begin to settle into Prague.

Day 2

Discover Prague

Visit Prague Castle–the largest castle in the world–for an included visit. Explore the neighborhood of St. Vitus Cathedral and the colorful Golden Lane. 

Take the funicular, an inclined railway, up the hill to the Petřín Lookout Tower. Dubbed a mini version of Paris's Eiffel Tower, Petřínská rozhledna was built in 1891 for the Jubilee Exhibition. Climb the 299 steps to reach the top and marvel at the views. 

After dark, you’ll see a completely different side of Prague as the Old Town comes alive with underground taverns and other nightlife.

Day 3

Prague Immersion

Today, you’ll have time to explore Prague as you please with various optional activities.

Enjoy some free time visiting museums, wandering through the Jewish Quarter, or strolling over the historic Charles Bridge. Grab a brew in the Beer Garden in Letna Park like the locals if you want to relax.

Join a local brewpub tour with your Trip Leader and learn why the Czech Republic is a well-known haven for beer drinkers. You’ll visit two special brewpubs in the Old Town and taste traditional Czech beer snacks and cuisine at each pub.

Visit the famous Naschmarkt, a cultural meeting point for local Viennese. Indulge in some of the best food and wine that Austria has to offer.

If you are on a December trip, you will visit the iconic Christmas Markets instead of Naschmarkt.

Day 5

Vienna Immersion

Enjoy a guided walking tour of the city with a local guide. Your guide will take you from the Gothic splendor of St. Stephen's Cathedral to the neoclassical grandeur of Graben Street and then on to Hofburg Palace, where Habsburg emperors once resided.

Spend the afternoon exploring this splendid city and its numerous museums, palaces, and parks. Vienna is well known as the capital of classical music, so we recommend catching a classical concert at the orchestra or a local church.

U30X Trip Reviews

"The Under30Experiences trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest was incredible. You had enough time in each city to explore the museums, castles, and local cuisine. The trip leader, Johanna gave great recommendations for local spots, and took us to incredible restaurants. It was a blast. I enjoyed getting to know fellow travelers on the trip as well. Counting down the days till my next trip with Under30!" -Audrey S.

"I had a great time with my friends & meeting new friends in Central Europe! Our trip leader Vanessa was very knowledgeable about the area. She was outstanding, she was so very helpful & gave us plenty of options & things for us to do. Will def go on another u30x trip!!" -Clarity C.

"I’ve been on 4 trips (Costa Rica Extended; Prague, Vienna, & Budapest; Greece; Iceland) in 2 years with this company and don’t plan on stopping any time soon! Every single guide I’ve had has been exceptional, and U30X seems to know how to select great guides who know how to make the experience great. Group sizes are kept to a max of 16 (although mine have averaged 12-15) and you get to know your peers on the trip well by the end of the trip, no matter how short or long. I’ve made some of my closest friends recently on these trips. Highly recommend if you want to “solo” travel (although by the end of the trip it doesn’t feel like a solo trip, just a trip with some friends)." -Sandra M.
