This isn't a fantasy: it's what awaits Scottish visitors who choose Orbis Travels' expertly curated Prague and Budapest package.
With their impressive 4.7 TripAdvisor rating reflecting consistently excellent customer service, Orbis Travels has crafted a seamless four-night adventure that transforms the often daunting prospect of multi-city European travel into an effortless journey of discovery.
The package includes flights from Scotland, accommodation, and crucially, train travel between the two cities, eliminating the stress of coordinating complex logistics.
Prague's Old Town Square serves as the perfect introduction to this enchanting city. The Gothic spires of Týn Church pierce the sky like something from a Brothers Grimm tale, whilst the baroque splendour of St. Nicholas Church provides a stunning counterpoint. But Prague's magic extends far beyond its architectural treasures.
No visit is complete without ascending Prague Castle, the world's largest ancient castle complex. Perched majestically above the city, it offers sweeping views across the red-tiled rooftops to the meandering Vltava River. Inside, St. Vitus Cathedral showcases some of Europe's finest Gothic architecture, whilst the Old Royal Palace whispers tales of Bohemian kings.
For a quintessentially Prague experience, venture across the iconic Charles Bridge at dawn. As morning mist rises from the river, the 14th-century stone bridge, adorned with baroque statues, feels almost mystical.
Later, explore the trendy Vinohrady district, where art nouveau buildings house contemporary galleries, craft beer bars, and innovative restaurants serving modern Czech cuisine that goes far beyond the hearty goulash stereotype.
The train journey from Prague to Budapest becomes part of the adventure itself, with Orbis Travels arranging tickets in advance.

This scenic seven-hour journey winds through Moravian vineyards and Slovakian countryside, offering glimpses of rural Central Europe that remain unchanged for centuries. Budapest reveals itself in layers. The hilly Buda side, crowned by the majestic Royal Palace, surveys the flat Pest side across the mighty Danube. This geographical divide creates a city of stunning contrasts and perpetual visual drama.
The Parliament building, an architectural masterpiece inspired by the Houses of Parliament in London, dominates the Pest skyline. Its Gothic Revival spires and dome create one of Europe's most photographed facades, particularly when illuminated at night. Inside, the crown jewels of Hungary rest in splendour, testament to the nation's royal heritage.
As evening falls, Budapest transforms into one of Europe's most dynamic nightlife destinations.
The famous ruin pubs, like Szimpla Kert, occupy crumbling buildings filled with mismatched furniture, bathtubs-turned-planters, and an atmosphere that's both bohemian and utterly magnetic.
What sets this package apart is the thoughtful curation.
Orbis Travels' excellent customer service reputation stems from their attention to detail and staff expertise, ensuring travellers experience these cities' highlights without the usual pitfalls of independent travel.
From Scottish airports to Central European capitals, every element flows seamlessly.
