Why this route
Three musical capitals in one coach loop: Munich's churches and beer halls, Salzburg's baroque old town, and Prague, where a visiting ensemble still fills a concert church on a weeknight.
- Munich
- Salzburg
- Hallstatt
- Prague
Munich opens the tour with a concert in a city church and a day in the Bavarian Alps. Salzburg follows with the fortress, Mozart's birthplace and a performance in the old town, then a lake day in Hallstatt. The tour ends with three nights in Prague, a concert in one of the city's historic churches and time on the Charles Bridge at dusk.
This is the best value route for bands: coach distances are short, venues welcome wind and brass, and December departures add Christmas markets in all three cities.
