Bohemian Chic
Two must-see European capitals on one magnificent trip—why not? Start: Prague—a boho-chic playground where resplendence is the rule, not the exception. End: Vienna—Austria’s handsome jewel along the Danube. In between, Czech hospitality; mile after mile of great riverside rides past vineyards; hilltop monasteries and crumbling castles; a hearty bowl of goulash and a pint of Pilsner enjoyed over candlelight in a private library; a leisurely float down the Big D and the grandest of all finales. Getting there really is half the fun.
This is a signature B&R Biking trip—expertly guided, small groups, premium hotels.

Hotels
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 beautifully restored to its former glory by owners. Enjoy the beautiful panorama from the observatory as you reward yourself for today’s ride with a velke pivo (a large beer). View hotel website »
Hotel Richard Lowenherz, Wachau
Founded on the site of a 700-year-old Clarissinian Abbey, the Richard Löwenherz is now a hotel filled with Renaissance sculpture, elegant chandeliers and stone vaulting. Frau Theiry and her staff quickly make us feel at home whether we’re lounging with an after-dinner schnapps, lazing in the garden, or enjoying breakfast on the arbour-covered terrace overlooking the Danube.

Hotel Sacher Wien, Vienna
Established in 1876 in the centre of the city, Hotel Sacher Wien blends traditional décor and modern amenities, and is conveniently located across from the Opera House, the Kärntner Straße, and a mere five-minute walk from the Hofburg Imperial Palace. But it’s this Leading Hotels of the World’s famed eponymous chocolate dessert that may leave the most enduring impression! View hotel website »
