While not the most cheapest city I’ve ever visited, Budapest was not even close to the most expensive. For a European capital, I’d call it average. Some sights were very reasonable, bordering on cheap while others made me do a double take when I saw the price. Accommodation and food were reason and that helped …
Vienna is a city full of great sights. It’s a city that loves the finer things in life and with that, it can be easy to blow the travel budget. But a trip to Vienna doesn’t have to break the bank. To prove it, I’m laying out everything I spent during my trip so you …
There is so much to see in Budapest that one day is not enough to cover everything. Still, I realize that not every traveler has a lot of time, so you may find yourself with only one day in Budapest. If that’s the case, you’ll need to do some serious thinking about what is important …
Iconic palaces, breathtaking art museums, and gorgeous cafes are just some of the things you’ll see and experience in Vienna. This city enjoys the finer things in life and that becomes very apparent to all visitors. While it’d be easy to spend your day relaxing and enjoying the cafes, it’s important to get out and …
Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and while it’s light on sights, it’s a charming city to explore for a day. It’s Old Town is pedestrianized which makes it great to just wander, though there are a few sights you can visit. Because it’s small, one day is the perfect amount of time to cover …
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia. That alone makes it seem like it will be packed with exciting sights and things to do. While there are some great things to do in Bratislava, I found that the city is lower on the excitement scale when compared to many other European capitals (especially nearby Vienna). So …
Budapest sprawls. Rather than having a compact historic center where most of the tourists spend their time, great sights exist all over the city. While you can walk to many of these sights (I did), it’s a great time saver to take public transportation. Not only will you save time, but your feet will also …
Budapest is a city with so much to do. As a major city in the Austria-Hungarian Empire that was born of two separate cities (Buda and Pest), you’ll find more historical sights than you could visit in a week. But most travelers don’t have a week, so I’ve condensed the best of Budapest into what …
Vienna is the capital of Austria and offers so much for visitors. From the royal palaces that once housed the Hapsburg Family to its classical music and opera scene to all of its art museums and churches, you won’t run out of things to do in this city. But if you only have one day …
When I planned my trip to Belgium, I had one extra day and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to visit Bruges or Ghent. Both are great cities and come up frequently on travel itineraries. In the end, I couldn’t decide and so like so many other travelers, I decided to cram two cities into …
