FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
What is the climate like?
During the summer months, the weather in the Czech Republic
and Austria is warm, with high temperatures averaging 75 degrees
Fahrenheit in the day, and dropping down to 50 degrees at night.
How strenuous are the activities?
While this adventure is not considered physically strenuous,
most days will include two or more hours of city walking, often
on uneven cobblestone streets. While nearly all of the trip's
featured activities are gentle if examined separately, the full
range of activities requires a moderate amount of stamina in
order to get the most of your vacation.
What ages are appropriate for this adventure?
While we welcome children ages 4 and up at the time of
travel to discover the stories of the world with us, we
recommend that children be at least 6 years old at the time of
travel on our Storybook Kingdoms trip. This is based on several
factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone differences
in the destination, duration of the vacation, extended hours of
daily activity programming and amount of physical activity
(e.g., walking) involved. Because each child is different, call
a Concierge Agent to discuss whether this is the right trip for
your little ones
