Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities.

Oh Europe, you sure know how to put on a music festival! & our latest favourite is Budapest's island take over of Sziget - Island of Freedom. Music, art, performances and forest vibes will have you swooning.

Ah, only on Contiki would the festivities of a Hungarian music festival commence in Germany.

We'll shower you in iconic sites, none more interesting than the remains of the Berlin Wall.

Day 2
Berlin
Come for a wall covered in art & history, stay for a culture of cool, a smorgasbord of partying & an abundance of unique German flair. The day is yours; you could jump onto an historical walking tour of the city to learn about the East, the West and everything in-between in this city packed with a troubled past. Later you can get in the know on the famous Berlin street art scene, complete with a stop to grab a drink. What else? The list is endless, or you could jump straight into the mood of the tour and save yourself for a night of thudding beats & club hopping.

Breakfast
Accommodations:Holiday Inn Berlin West (or similar)
Day 3
Berlin to Prague
It's time to begin dipping south. Though we could kick it in Berlin for months without getting bored, we have a pretty important schedule ahead of us ... #SzigetA drive from Berlin to Prague would not be complete without stopping in Dresden. Destroyed by World War II, the rebuilt town is now a symbol of resilience, soaked in the rebirthed beauty of an Opera house, the domed Frauenkirche, & the Royal Residence.By the afternoon we'll be Czech side, heading to the buzzing capital city of Prague. Always down to explore, we'll waste no time getting acquainted with castles, bridges, gothic cathedrals & general prettiness galore.
Meals Included:
Breakfast
Dinner
Accommodations:Zleep Hotel (or similar)
Day 4
Prague
Today you’ll have some free time to bask in Prague’s awesome historic architecture and all-round chilled vibes. Explore all things Kafka, Mozart… and don’t forget to sample the traditional ovocné knedlíky (fruit dumplings), not to mention the legendary Czech beer. This evening, you have the option to enjoy a traditional Czech evening complete with live music and enough dumplings to get you dancing.
Meals Included:
Breakfast
Accommodations:Zleep Hotel (or similar)
Day 5
Prague to Vienna
Just remember, with every great city we leave behind we get a little bit closer to the dream scene that is Sziget. Leaving fine lands has never felt so good! Out of Prague, our first stop is the World Heritage-listed Kutná Hora. Make the local Sedlec Ossuary chapel high priority, it's decked out and furnished in the bones of over 40,000 ... humans. True! Two nights in Vienna will see us getting into a slightly different musical mood than Sziget has in store for us. As promised, tonight you have the chance to get into the mood of this trip - just with a slightly different melody - by experiencing Vienna’s musical legacy with a Mozart and Strauss concert in one of the city’s imperial palaces.
Meals Included:
Breakfast
Dinner
Accommodations:Ibis Wien Mariahilf Hotel Vienna (or similar)
Day 6
Vienna
Waking up in the stunning capital of Vienna, a city known for its coffee culture and baroque architecture, we'll have plenty of adventures to pursue today.

But first, we have a bit of heritage to tap into with the grandeur palace of Schönbrunn, the uber elegant State Opera House and the gothic masterpiece of St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
