If you’re feeling fit, climb over 500 steps in the south tower to witness a well-deserved view of the city’s twelve different Romanesque churches, medieval townhouses, dozens of museums and galleries, and the Hohenzollern Bridge covered in lover’s padlocks, which crosses the wide Rhine river. Those with a sweet tooth will love the Chocolate Museum (and its accompanying gift shop!) while Cologne’s Botanical Gardens, which dates from the 1800s, has plenty of cacti and plant houses to satisfy the green-fingered Day 3 Cochem, Germany Set at the junction of the Rhine and Mosel rivers, the ancient city of Koblenz is a picturesque place to wander - whether it’s through little squares and flower-filled parks or around the labyrinthine rooms of Marksburg Castle, built in 1117 and the only Rhine castle that has never been destroyed Cruising the Lower Moselle Valley Day 4 Koblenz, Germany Cruising the Middle Rhine Valley Day 5 Cruising the Main Valley Miltenberg, Germany

There’s plenty of stunning architecture to go around too: the Schoenbrunn Palace used to be the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph and 40 of its 1141 intricately decorated rooms are still open to the public. Elsewhere, St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece, with underground catacombs dating to the fourteenth century. Once you’ve had your fill
of history, enjoy a slice of decadent Sachertorte chocolate cake and an evening of opera at the State Opera House Day 13 Bratislava, Slovakia Day 14 - Budapest, Hungary (two night stay) Day 16 The capital city of Hungary is split into two sides: Buda on the west side on the Danube river and Pest on the east. Connected by seven different bridges (including the famous nineteenth century Chain Bridge), they make a city rich in Art Nouveau architecture and filled with living history, seen on buildings pockmarked by WWII bullets. If you’re not eating local delicacies of stuffed cabbage or bowlfuls of Hungarian goulash, go and catch beautiful panoramic vistas from the impressive Buda Castle and the turrets of Fishermen’s Bastion. Alternatively, indulge in a visit to one of the public thermal baths and steam rooms dotted across the city - Kiraly, Rudas and Szechenyi are all worth a visit Day 17
