Prices are as they were when this itinerary was finalised (in June 2026). We price your own trip live, to your dates.
A single Schengen short-stay via the Austria embassy, which anchors the trip with four nights in Vienna; Austria is generally responsive within 10-15 working days.
June is the best-weather pick of the family options — Vienna around 23°C with few rainy days; pack light layers and a compact umbrella for Salzburg and Prague.
A clean linear rail line (ÖBB, ČD, DB) with no backtracks and no internal flight; the longest leg is the scenic 7-hour Salzburg to Prague run via Linz.
Five distinct child-magnet stops — Vienna's Prater and zoo, Hellbrunn fountains, Prague, the Playmobil FunPark and Munich's Deutsches Museum — keep every day engaging.
Reserve Railjet and ICE seats early in peak summer, and confirm the Munich stay in the Altstadt or Hauptbahnhof area for easy airport S-Bahn access.
