Day 2: Travelling to Prague

Day 3: Guided sightseeing in Prague
Today we enjoy a guided walking tour of the Old Town. Marvel at one of Europe's most unspoilt cities, with a stunning Old Town Square and the famous astronomical clock, Charles Bridge and Prague Castle.
Day 4: Prague Christmas Markets
Enjoy a day exploring Prague's Christmas Markets. A great place to start is the Old Town Square, with its wooden stalls huddled around the Jan Hus monument, or Wenceslas Square, Prague's grand boulevard. Smaller markets are held at Havel Market and Republic Square. Warm a crisp winter's day with svarák mulled wine and return to the Old Town Square after darkness falls to witness the impressive Christmas tree lights amidst the square's Gothic and Baroque splendour.

After a morning guided sightseeing tour of Berlin, the rest of the day is free to explore some of the German capital's varied Christmas Markets.

Town Hall.
