View Bohemian Rhapsody in a larger map

We're probably all familiar with the famous song, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, written by Freddy Mercury for the British rock band Queen. In music, a rhapsody features a wide range of highly contrasted moods, color and tonality. What a fitting way to title our new 12-day European Adventure - a “Bohemian Rhapsody” on motorcycles. The Adventure features a combination of up to 9 different countries, all situated around one of Europe's most beautiful motorcycling destinations - Austria.

Riders will enjoy stunning roads, first class hotels and cultural highlights of Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland and Liechtenstein!

Starting out from Munich, Germany, we travel the scenic roads along the Danube River to medieval Cesky Krumlov - a World Heritage Site. We spend two nights in Austria’s capital of Vienna and enjoy a boat ride into Bratislava (Slovenia). We continue through Hungary to Maribor (Slovenia) and take the twisty and scenic roads back into Austria – only to dive into the most impressive alpine scenery of Northern Italy’s Dolomites. Two nights in Merano give us time to learn more about this beautiful town – or about the surrounding pass roads with their countless twisties!

Our destination in St. Moritz is a 5-Star hotel, followed by a rustic, luxury spa hotel in Warth, Austria. Passing by the famous King Ludwig Castle we leave the Alps and arrive back in Munich - Bavaria’s beer capital.




The Route

The route is entirely paved but includes some challenging sections, particularly in the mountains and while passing through small towns. The tour is best done by experienced riders.
