Timișoara sits in western Romania and was my introduction to the country. Here, you’ll find a beautiful historic center, loads of parks, and a fascinating museum telling the story of the Romanian Revolution in 1989. So, if you find yourself passing through the city like I was, here’s how I recommend you spend one day …
Szeged is the third largest city in Hungary and is located in the very south of the country. While so many visitors to Hungary just focus on Budapest, there’s more to see in this country beyond the capital city. As I traveled through Europe on a long backpacking trip, I found myself needing to go …
