Your Journey to Prague and Budapest

See Prague from a different angle aboard our charming wooden boat on the Vltava River. Your personal ship’s captain will take you on a romantic tour, where you can watch the city’s fairy-tale silhouette. Sip a glass of Prosecco and enjoy a light snack or meal as you gaze at this enchanting city.

Spend an evening with your loved one on the rooftop terrace MIRU. Savour Japanese fusion cuisine with a backdrop of a dreamlike sunset and sparkling views of Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Vltava River.

Discover centuries-old Bohemia crystal glass-making with the help of the Hotel. In the nearby village of Nižbor, meet the crafters of traditional handmade Czech crystal, and witness the magic of glass-blowing and engraving. You’ll even get a chance to participate.

Venture to Karlstejn, a romantic 14th-century Gothic castle, just a 35-minute drive from Prague. Founded by King Charles IV as a place to store royal treasures, holy relics and the crown jewels, the castle and its surroundings make for unbelievable exploration.

Watch our Chef Concierge’s Budapest bucket list come to life, then let him help plan your adventures.

Infusing Eastern mystique and Old World elegance, Budapest is a city that has long inspired artists and travellers alike with its beauty, architecture and vibrant cultural life. Travel along the Danube at sunset as the city of lights comes to life. On your private Venetian-style speedboat, a glass of sparkling wine in hand, take in UNESCO World Heritage sites. The excursion ends with a “James Bond moment” as the boat suddenly picks up speed.

Visit the former royal residence of Elisabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, just 30 minutes from Budapest. Let our expert guide take you on a fabulous tour of Hungarian history, finished in style with a slice of Sachertorte, Austria’s signature cake.

Set sail on your private Bavaria 33 Sailing Boat on Lake Balaton, the “Hungarian sea,” only a 1.5-hour drive from Budapest. The picturesque shoreline has public and private beaches, underwater cave galleries, volcanic hills and ancient fortresses – and endless spots to enjoy a bespoke picnic.

At KOLLÁZS – Brasserie & Bar, we offer the quintessential Hungarian menu based on the chef’s grandmother’s recipes. Join us for a leisurely dining experience or at the bar for a live DJ or band performance while you enjoy a handcrafted cocktail. A variety of local artists bringing the best of Budapest with upbeat, fresh sounds are always on the menu.

Just 29 kilometres (18 miles) outside the city is Etyek, a village whose surrounding region produces some of the country’s finest wines. Tour the countryside and savour exquisite local varietals, then enjoy a private picnic in the lush setting while you soak up the sun. For a sensory souvenir, be sure to take home a bottle of Etyeki Kúria Pinot Noir Selection 2017 – recommended highly by our Head Sommelier Gabor Becker.

Spend an afternoon discovering charming antique stores and art galleries in Budapest’s art gallery district on Falk Miksa Street. Assisted by your engaging guide, discover hidden gems and shops, where you’ll find everything from Hungarian glassware and furniture to home décor and jewellery. Or visit the contemporary Art Factory where you can witness local artists in action and enjoy private studio tours.
