    Top Tips From Our Experts

    Expert Travel Consultants
    Barry MacCourt

    While visiting Budapest be sure to make time to visit the wonderful Art Nouveau style Gellért Thermal Baths. Soak in the grandeur of a time gone by while the body rejuvenates.

    Expert Travel Consultants
    Georgia Wiseman

    Prague, Budapest, Vienna are just a few of the cities that have Christmas markets from November-January. All offer a unique and differing experience, but are each just as magical and make for a very festive city break.

    Expert Travel Consultants
    Ana Pricova

    Vienna: Take a little break from the rush of a city centre and take a short metro ride to Schonbrunn Palace. Its charm and beautiful gardens will definitely take you back to the 17th century.
