PragueJuly 31 - August 2The Golden City just gets better and better. Spared extensive bombing damage in WWII, Prague still has an authentic feel to its wonderful architecture. The capital of Bohemia has the famous Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, the beautiful St. Vitus Cathedral and the Old Castle and a wonderful tradition of music-making by “Bohemians” of all stripes. We usually attend an opera in one of Prague’s three opera houses where the performances are inexpensive and subtitled in English. If time permits, your tour guide will also provide an excellent tour of the Franz Kafka Museum and the Alfons Mucha “Slav Epic.” In addition to the cities historical and cultural attributes it has a reputation for quality Czech beer as well! On our return trip we will stop in Pilsen briefly for a meal at a great restaurant for a quick lunch. Price: $290 per adult, $145 per child (5-12); single supplement is an additional $45 per night (includes transportation, hotel accomodations and breakfast).

Partenkirchen Historic Walking TourJuly 29Garmisch-Partenkirchen was liberated by members of the US Army on April 20, 1945 and we will walk around the place that became a home for so many Americans thereafter! Ofcourse there is much more to discover. Partenkirchen is the older of the two sides of Garmisch -Partenkirchen and therefore also has a wealth of historic sites. Highlights include the “Plague Chapel” put up during the Thirty Years War, some great frescoes, the State School for Woodworking, the Partenkirchen Kurpark, and some wonderful stories about Ludwig the Bavarian, Henry the Lion and St. Mark. There is a good chance to have dinner afterwards for those who are interested. Price: $10 or $8 per adult/child; free for children under 12.

Prague & Pilsen BreweryJuly 2 - 5The capital of Bohemia has the famous Charles Bridge and Old Town Square; the beautiful St. Vitus Cathedral in the Old Castle and a wonderful tradition of music-making by “Bohemians” of all stripes. You can attend an opera in one of Prague’s three opera houses where the performances are inexpensive and subtitled in English. Your guide will also provide an excellent tour of the Franz Kafka Museum as well as the “Slav Epic” by Alfons Mucha - twenty enormous paintings depicting the long march of the Slavic peoples toward nationhood and self-determination. We will tour the original Pilsner Urquell Brewery in - where else? - Pilsen! Since Pilsen is the European Culture Capital for 2015, it is quite possible that there will be other surprises as well! The great National Hero Jan Hus was burned at the stake on July 6, 1415, meaning that we will be in Prague during the weekend of the 600th anniversary! Expect great things! Price: $390 per adult, $195 per child (5-12); single supplement is an additional $45 per night (includes transportation, hotel accomodations and breakfast).

Weekend Tour to Venice and Verona, ItalyJuly 10 - 12In just one short weekend, you will see both Venice and Verona! On Friday afternoon, we drive to Vicenza where we will spend the night. Early Saturday morning, we make the short train trip to Venice where we will see great art and architecture, (Paul’s guided tours of the Academia and the Scuola di San Rocco are renowned), pigeons in St. Mark’s Square, gondolas and more. We will again spend the second night in Verona on Sunday. In Verona, you have the opportunity to tour the famous setting to Romeo and Juliet with its Roman Arena before dining at a wonderful restaurant. Price: $299 per adult; $145 per child (5-12); Single supplement is an additional $45 per night (includes transportation, hotel accomodations and breakfast).
