FEATURED EXCURSION: Budapest Walking Tour with Rock Hospital
Explore the Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum, a former emergency hospital and nuclear bunker located underneath Buda Castle Hill. This museum pays homage to the almost six-mile stretch of interconnected caves and cellars that date back to World War II. After, take the elevator up to the Castle District for a stroll around. Enjoy panoramic views of Pest across the way, and walk along famed museums and attractions, like Matthias Church. Marvel at its breathtaking architecture, beautiful stained-glass windows, and golden frescoes.

Day 3: Budapest (CB/BB, L)
FEATURED EXCURSION: Wine Tasting & Lunch at Etyek
After breakfast, you’ll check out of the hotel. Then, discover a side of Hungary that is oft overlooked today—the country’s excellent wines. Once a winemaking powerhouse, Hungary’s position in European viticulture took a backseat in the 19th and 20th centuries, in large part due to a phylloxera blight that destroyed much of their crops in the 1880s and communist era policies. Fortunately for modern travelers and wine lovers, winemaking in Hungary is beginning to boom once again. Sample some locally produced wines for yourself on our excursion today, followed by a delicious local lunch.

After your included tour, you’ll be transferred to the ship to start your incredible journey along the Danube River.
