Additional Notes
Train Travel: European train systems are highly efficient. Many cities are connected by high-speed rail, offering scenic and relaxing journeys. Car Travel: Renting a car is ideal for flexibility and reaching smaller destinations like Archlebov and the countryside. One way bookings between countries can incur significant fees so sometimes it might be easier to take a train to the final country, rent there and then drive around. Timing Tips: Spring in Central Europe (April) offers mild weather and fewer crowds, ideal for exploring.
