      Today, travel to Prague via Nuremberg, enjoying a comfort stop in the Bavarian city. Having served as a residence for German kings over many centuries, Nuremberg was an architectural marvel, and famous for its artists too. The city was painstakingly rebuilt following heavy bombing during WW2 and today it has been restored to some of its former glory โ€“ many buildings using the original stone. Later, arrive in Prague. This beautiful city boasts elaborate Baroque, Gothic, Art Nouveau and Cubist architecture, and is home to many quirky bars, cobbled lanes and courtyards. Known for its brilliant beer and abundance of art, any exploration of Prague will be a rewarding one. This evening, round off the day with an included dinner.
