Prague to Vienna With the Kids Age 12+ ~ Butterfield and Robinson

Activity Level: E-M
Start / Finish: Prague / Vienna

Bohemian Chic

History class need not end when summer vacation starts. Dynamic Prague has seen medieval kings, the Holy Roman Empire and the Iron Curtain rise and fall. Vienna, not to be outdone, has outlasted Crusades, the Habsburgs and a pair of world wars. Out here, we cycle along the banks of sparkling rivers, sun-dappled forests and through medieval fortress towns. The learning in between is anything but dry; your kids explore dungeons, raft a Bohemian river, make their own strudel and study the physics of waterslides while you dine at the region’s top tables, marvel at monasteries and learn the finer points of local vintages. It’s straight A’s all around.

Take look at our complete lineup of With the Kids trips.

		Chateau Mcely, Mcely Chateau Mcely is one of the Czech Republic’s finest hotels. Constructed as a 17thC country estate for the Thurn-Taxis family, it fell into disrepair during the Communist era and has only recently been restoed (passionately and painstakingly) to its former glory by owners Jim and Inez Cusamano. Enjoy the beautiful panorama from the observatory as you reward yourself for today’s ride with a velke pivo (a large beer).
		Hotel Ruže, Ceský Krumlov The Hotel Ruže is the best hotel in Ceský Krumlov. Constructed as a 16thC Jesuit Monastery in the Renaissance style, it is now a comfortable (though not luxury) hotel with a beautiful view of the village, the river and surrounding hills. Enjoy this vista from the restaurant terrace as you reward unwind from the day’s activities.
		Hotel Richard Löwenherz, Dürnstein Founded on the site of a 700-year-old Clarissinian Abbey, the Richard Löwenherz is now a hotel with richly historical interiors filled with antiques, Renaissance sculpture, elegant chandeliers and stone vaulting. We are well looked after by Frau Theiry and her staff, who quickly make us feel at home whether we’re lounging in the living room with an after-dinner schnapps, lazing in the rose garden by the pool, or enjoying a sunny breakfast on the arbour-covered terrace overlooking the Danube.
