Two days’ ride will take you from the ferry terminal at the Hook of Holland to the Czech Republic via Amsterdam and Hanover. Here the trip really begins. Day one is Prague, a capital that’s among the best for stop-and-stare architecture.

Wander through Gothic streets around the Old Town Square (Staromestske Namesti) and try the wares of Nota Bene behind the National Museum, where local craft lagers wash down a righteous pork schnitzel (about £4.90). Stay at Hotel Josef (doubles from £110 B&B) five minutes from the Old Town Square, with secure underground parking.
