Moving on to Innsbruck, here you’ll find the glitzy Goldenes Dachl – a land- mark structure built for the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian. A pause in Slovenia allows time to visit historic Ljubljana before you pop into Vienna to admire opulent Schonbrunn Palace.

Beautiful Bratislava rests on the banks of the Danube with a goliath of a castle watching over it from a hilltop perch.
