Ten nights through three of Central Europe's great capitals, flying into Budapest with Aer Lingus and home from Prague, with first class rail connections between each city and private transfers at both ends. September is one of the best months to do this trip, with warm days, quieter streets and the cities looking their best.
Budapest is one of the most striking cities in Europe, built either side of the Danube with Buda's castle on the hill and Pest's grand boulevards spreading out across the flat eastern bank. Three nights at Hotel Vision gives you a superior room with a French balcony and a good base to explore from. The Parliament Building, the Chain Bridge, the thermal baths and the ruin are all within easy reach.
A two and a half hour first class train journey brings you into Vienna, one of the great imperial capitals of Europe. Wide boulevards, grand palaces and some of the best coffee houses in the world make it a city that rewards time on foot. Three nights at the Hilton Vienna Waterfront puts you on the Danube Canal with easy access to the centre. St Stephen's Cathedral, the Hofburg Palace and the Ringstrasse are the highlights.
A four hour first class connection brings you into Prague, one of the best preserved historic cities in Europe. A medieval old town, a hilltop castle and a river running through the middle of it all. Four nights at Hotel Duo on a bed and breakfast basis gives you a comfortable base with mornings taken care of. The Old Town Square, Charles Bridge and Prague Castle are the anchors, but the city is worth getting lost in beyond the main sights.

An Antarctic expedition cruise is designed to take you beyond simply seeing the continent from a ship. Small inflatable Zodiac boats are used to explore bays, reach remote landing sites and get closer to the ice, wildlife and landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Most journeys are designed to get you somewhere as quickly as possible. The Blue Train does the opposite. Over three days and two nights, it travels roughly 1,600 kilometres between Pretoria and Cape Town, turning the distance between the two cities into an experience in its own right.
Europe is packed with iconic destinations, but some of its most rewarding holidays begin just beyond the well-trodden tourist trail. If you've already ticked off the big-name cities or simply fancy somewhere that feels a little different, there are plenty of places offering beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and memorable food without the queues. From medieval towns on the Adriatic coast to volcanic islands in the Atlantic, these lesser-known corners of Europe prove that sometimes the best trips are the ones you weren't expecting.
