Tips

If you have extra days, consider adding a side trip from Vienna to Bratislava (just an hour away) or extending your stay in Berlin to explore the vibrant art scene in Prenzlauer Berg. For a shorter itinerary, condense Vienna and Prague to two full days each and fly from Berlin directly home, skipping the train legs to save travel time.
