Roam leisurely around the town and stop for a pic or two of elegant palaces, the best being the Italian Court.
Continue with the same pace to Santa Barbara Basilica.  Your trip will not be complete unless you make a stop over at the Sedlec Ossuary.
Very simple on the outside, you will encounter a different story on the inside.
Do not bother to count the skeletons used in a decorative manner.
There are 40,000 of them! The manouvering of such a great number of human skeletons makes this church earn its name as the Bone Church.
Change the scene soon after when you start preparing to attend a folklore night, where music and good, traditional food will put you in quite a jolly mood.

 

Leave the Czech Republic behind and commence your journey to Poland.
Head to the charming city of Krakow and on the way stop to admire what the city of Brno has to offer.
Be intrigued by the Spilberk Castle, right at the top of the hill, a superb  building which has dominated the city’s skyline for over seven centuries.  Be transported to the Gothic era at St.
James’ Church located in  James’ Square.  Do not miss out on the Old Town Hall, a splendid, historical building which today hosts many cultural activities.
Leaving the city behind you, make your way to  the comfort of your hotel in Krakow.

Although your journey’s joyful atmosphere will be dampened when visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, this may be the most impressive part of the whole trip and for sure not one to be left out.
The fear for death by the millions of victims of the Holocoust  can be felt when you come close to the Death Wall, the national memorials,  the railway track and the barracks.
All in all, one can say that this will be an experience that you will never erase from your memory, thus showing respect to all sufferers.  Wipe away the sadness of the Holocoust and make your way to Wieliczka Salt Mine.  Stroll along the winding saline corridors of the mine.  Be appalled by the massiveness of this underground Salt Cathedral and appreciate the saline sculptures and small chapels.
Be grateful that you had the opportunity to spend time in the most spectacular mine in the whole world before you commence to journey back to the hotel.

 

Put your mountain clothes on as you will travel to the Tatra Mountains and experience the skiing resort of Zakopane.
Walk freely amongst other tourists in the main street of Krupowki and move out of the way from the horse driven carriages.  Look out for the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, a modern architecural building featuring beautiful stained glass.  Sip a hot coffee before you hop on the cable car which will take you to the top of the mountain to see a bird’s eye view of the city.

Cross over from Poland to Germany and enter the beautiful city of Berlin, Germany’s capital and home to many attractions.
Visit this city once with us and you are sure to want to come back for more.  Listen attentively to your local  guide as he unfolds the history infront of your eyes starting off at the Brandenburg Gate, an 18th century neoclassical monument.  Drive through the amazing Unter den Linden, the boulevard which leads you from the gate to the City Palace, a boulevard lined with lime trees from which it got its name.
Be awed by the magnitude of the Reichtag, Germany’s parliament up to 1918 with its remarkable glass dome, an addition to the Reichtag building.
 Advance to Museum Island, a priority on this trip.  Be dazzled by the natural beauty it holds, overlooking the river Spree and the five significant museums it proudly hosts.
 Stop at the Berlin Cathedral and gape at its allure.   Feel part of the cultural gem the city of Berlin offers when visiting the Berlin State Opera, another extraordinary building not to be missed.  Be transferred back to recent history when you call at the Gedenkstatte Berliner Mauer, the wall which commemorated the division between the East and West and the deaths that occurred there, and the Check point Charlie, known as the best point of crossing.
Spare time to enjoy the open space at the Gendarmenmarkt, a large square surrounded by the most notable buildings of the Konzerthaus and French and German Churches.  Proceed to  Berlin’s largest inner city park, the  Tiergarten and head straight to its centre to see from up close the Berlin Victory Column.  Look forward to visit the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a prominent Protestant Church.
