Every Trek Travel vacation offers something distinctive and our voyage from Prague to Vienna is no exception.

Of course you’ll be swept away by the Baroque architecture, the medieval villages like Cesky Krumlov, the colorful farmlands, the lazy Danube River, the rich Austrian wines, the ostentatious castles that dot the landscape and the sincere hospitality of the locals. But what makes this vacation truly unique is experiencing the overwhelming difference in culture and aesthetics as you cross the border from one country to the next. Everything is imminently different: the roads, the food, the language, the architecture, the focus on beverages from beer to wine, the history, even the flower boxes illustrate a change in prosperity and lifestyle.

Hopefully you make it across…
 

Cycling fans have dreamt of riding the routes of their pro cycling heroes. Each year a lucky few get the chance to experience those dreams by riding the Etape du Tour, as race organizers select one of the event’s most challenging stages and offer amateurs the opportunity to tackle the entire route.

The weather can be intense and unpredictable. Food is often scarce and rest stops sometimes lack water. But with Trek Travel, your support is always there. Our separately designated rest stops will always have plenty of food, ice cold beverages, and full mechanical support. By the time you roll into the finishing town, you’ll have done battle in the Alps in spectacular fashion like the heroes of cycling.
