In addition, with a whole day at leisure in harmonious Vienna and a special Chopin concert in the maestro’s hometown of architecturally alluring Warsaw, music lovers will be equally elated. PLUS, your tour includes your choice of an excursion in Budapest and Prague so you can plan your day your way.
