Greentraveller's Top Tips: All city stopovers in this exciting train holiday have green travel options to enjoy.  In Prague, escape the crowds with a relaxing stroll through one of the city’s wonderful parks and gardens such as Petrin Hill or Riegrovy Sady. Did you know Vienna's three organic city farms account for roughly the same area as New York's Central Park? The Austrian capital is truly becoming a green destination making it an excellent city to visit farmers markets and sample local, organic produce. In Budapest, a walk to the top of Gellert Hill offers spectacular views of the Danube River and the city’s historical monuments.
