Whether it&#8217;s exploring the cuisine, visiting a museum or two they normally\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t have\u00a0the time to do with less time in a city, uncovering my or their own hidden gems or even just sitting in a cafe and watching the world go by, the slower pace allows our guests to get a deeper understanding of what makes each city tick.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/travelling_dean\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Vienna-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Vienna-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Vienna-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Vienna-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Vienna-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Vienna.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Dean, Travel Director<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Vienna, the City of Music, guests are immersed in a Baroque fantasy, with evenings filled with delicious local dinners and live classical music performances. And, alongside our Local Specialist, they spend the day exploring all the popular sights such as the Hofburg Palace, the official residence of the President of Austria and former home of the Habsburg Dynasty, the Parliament Building, the magnificent Opera House and St. Stephen&#8217;s Cathedral. All whole afternoon spent walking in the footsteps of the great sons of Vienna \u2013 Mozart, Haydn and Strauss.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with a full day set aside to explore the city at their leisure guests are also able to spend an afternoon at a local&nbsp;<em>kaffe<\/em>, just watching people stroll past. There&#8217;s even time to journey into the countryside and pay a visit to the nearby wine villages. But the absolute highlight by far is a VIP visit to the famous Kunsthistorisches Museum with a private tour of the&nbsp;Kunstkammer Wien, the&nbsp;treasury of the&nbsp;Habsburg family. The treasury showcases the&nbsp;craftsmanship of the Austrian Royal Court including pieces made of gold, mother of&nbsp;pearl,&nbsp;porcelain and ivory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Trafalgar exclusive experience, guests are allowed into the museum before it&#8217;s open to the public to truly appreciate these national treasures in a serene setting that befits their delicate beauty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/travelling_dean\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/07\/mhm-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"VIP private visit to Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria\" class=\"wp-image-13997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mhm-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mhm-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mhm.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Dean, Travel Director<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;For me the best part of our visit to the KHM is standing in the incredibly detailed entrance hall with no one else there,&#8221; Dean said. &#8220;Photos\u00a0can&#8217;t do it\u00a0justice, but having nobody in your shots helps remind you how lucky we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3-night stay in Budapest is especially memorable with a never-ending stream of highlights peppered with time to wander around this stunningly beautiful city.

Visiting Konrad and his team is not just taking the\u00a0group out for a local dinner. For me, it&#8217;s like taking the\u00a0group to meet family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This little-known town is not even a blip on the tourist radar, making this experience something truly unique. Konrad Schieszl invites our guests into the restaurant his family has owned since 1896 to hear the remarkable tale of loyalty, dedication and a passion for local food and wine that is his family legacy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests go down into the 300-year-old wine cellar and see the barrel that served as a hiding space for a Jewish family friend during the Holocaust, saving him from a fate suffered by many less fortunate people in this region. This friend would get the chance to repay the favour by helping the family repurchase the winery after they were forced to flee Hungary during the spread of communism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/travelling_dean\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A local experience at a local winery in Budapest\" class=\"wp-image-13991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Budapest-winery-2-1-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Dean, Travel Director<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To top off this amazing visit, Konrad prepares a delicious meal featuring a modern take on traditional Hungarian fare using local ingredients and accompanied with a glass of the winery&#8217;s award-winning wine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much excitement packed into one day, guests are given the full second day to discover the hidden gems of Budapest, leisurely exploring this romantic city.

The modern interior of the former Paris Department Store hides, for me, the most\u00a0beautiful cafe in the city. Decorated with floor to ceiling mirrors,\u00a0beautiful fresco paintings and lots and lots of gold, it&#8217;s surprisingly easy to miss. It&#8217;s the perfect place to while away your time imagining the elegance and opulence of\u00a0Budapest in its glory era, the end of\u00a0the 1800s. Plus it&#8217;s always pretty empty, and the coffee and cakes are fantastic!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/travelling_dean\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Gold-Budapest-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Gold-Budapest-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Gold-Budapest-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Gold-Budapest-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Gold-Budapest-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/travelling_dean-TD-Gold-Budapest.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Director: Dean, Travel Director<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Prague, guests can take full advantage of their 3-night stay to let the Bohemian spirit take over their soul.
