THE HAIRY GIRAFFE… IN CENTRAL EUROPE
Welcome to Central Europe, a region where the capitals share a common heritage shaped by centuries of history, intertwined cultures, and, in the background, the quiet memory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Let’s take you to the heart of Europe, between wooded hills and tranquil rivers, to discover three capitals steeped in history and charm: Prague, Vienna, and Bratislava. Each has its own unique character, yet all share a rich heritage, a romantic atmosphere, and a refined culture.
In Prague, the “City of a Hundred Spires,” every cobbled street seems to tell a legend. Overlooked by its majestic castle, the Czech capital reveals its Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau treasures along the Vltava River, where visitors stroll among bridges and pastel-colored facades..
Vienna, elegant and imperial, echoes with the legacy of Mozart, Klimt, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its grand palaces, historic cafés, and abundant museums offer a journey through time, blending classical grandeur with understated modernity.
Not far away, Bratislava enchants with its gentle pace of life and authenticity. Nestled on the banks of the Danube, the Slovak capital blends medieval architecture, street art, and a bohemian atmosphere. Less well-known but just as welcoming, it captivates travelers seeking genuine discoveries and unspoiled landscapes.
