Tips

If you wish to extend the romance, add an extra night in Vienna to explore the nearby Wachau Valley vineyards (many offer vegetarian wine tastings). To shorten the trip, you can skip the day in Dresden and combine Bratislava with a quick evening stop before heading straight to Budapest, reducing the itinerary to 11 days without losing the core highlights.
