Treasures of the Habsburg Empire

Vienna, Budapest & Prague:

Double Occupancy: $4,950; Single Occupancy: $6,700*

This inaugural Academy Art Tour to Central Europe explores three of its most vibrant, historically-rich cities through the eyes of the artist. After a satisfying breakfast each day, we depart from our centrally-located, four-star hotels to walk or subway to our cultural destinations, learning to navigate these complex cities as natives. From Vienna to Budapest, we view scenic villages, castles and beautiful countryside as we boat along the famed "Blue Danube." From Budapest to Prague, we travel by private coach. .

Newcomers to seasoned tour participants bring a passion for art and lively dialogue to the tour’s esprit de corps.

Join tour guides, Gary Faigin, Gage Artistic Director, and Richard V. West, Director Emeritus of the Frye Art Museum, on an exclusive art tour that allows you to view and experience both the storied past and vibrant contemporary art scene of these fabled places.
