Visit the ancient remnants of Roman Empire outposts and the grand cities of the Habsburg Dynasty on this 16-day odyssey through Central and Eastern Europe. Hear the classic waltzes of Johann Strauss as you tour Austria and Germany. Immerse yourself in fiery Hungarian culture, admire natural wonders like the exquisite Iron Gate region, and explore Romania's graceful capital, Bucharest, and the Black Sea coast. Although very old, the region is still being shaped by current events-and this itinerary shows how current restoration efforts have preserved Eastern Europe's rich cultural heritage.
