Transportation / Walking on tour
Round-trip flights arrive in Budapest and depart from Warsaw. Included
transportation on “Highlights of Eastern Europe” is by private
motorcoach (and by train on extension to Berlin). In your free time,
you may wish to explore the cities by public transportation.
Budapest
also has an all-inclusive transportation system, with links between the
metro, “green trains,” yellow trams and red trolley buses. Purchase
tickets from newspaper stands, vending machines or metro entrances.
Vienna
has a similar system and is even more efficient. You can purchase
tickets in singles or in bulk for S-bahn (above ground),
U-bahn(underground), tram and bus lines. The waiting time for trains
and subways is usually no more than 5 to 10 minutes. Prague, Warsaw and
Krakow are all well-served by trams, local buses and taxis, if you need
to explore beyond the main attractions. Otherwise, they are best
accessed on foot.
In Berlin, an extensive system of S-bahn,
U-bahn, tram, train and bus lines serve every corner of the city. One
ticket covers all types of transportation.
