advice for solo trip: Budapest and Vienna or just one city? I have a few days off in April (approximately 4 days) and would love to finally tax a relaxing solo trip. I’ve dreamt about both Budapest and Vienna for years and now that I live in Scotland, it’s easier (and cheaper) to take trips to Europe.

First Trip of the Year: Budapest Hungary Kicked off the year with a trip to Budapest, thanks to my friend who arranged it for a group of us. Normally, I’m the type to meticulously plan every detail when visiting a new city, but this time, I decided to just go with the flow and see where fate took me. While I’m usually all about exploring as much as possible, the rest of the group was m…

Vienna & Budapest 12 night – should I split half and half or spend more time in Vienna? I am taking my 78 old year mom to visit Vienna and Budapest during the first two week of May. We are staying twelve night. I am debating whether I should I split my trip evenly between the city? or is there more to do in Vienna than Budapest? I was think of doing 7 day in Vienna (including 1 day trip to Bratislava) and 5 (half day for transfer) …

Budapest from a Fri to Sun or Sat to Mon? Is there much difference in terms of what will be closed? We are okay with obviously bars and clubs etc not being open on a Sunday/Monday but are we restricting what there is to do generally in terms of restaurants and usual sightseeing? If anyone has been on either of those combos would appreciate insight. The Sat to Mon is a better set of fli…

Vienna vs Budapest vs Prague Christmas markets Trip report: I have just returned from several days in each of these cities, seeing their Christmas markets. My initial reactions are that Vienna has the least inspiring markets. Lots of apparently identical booths, some selling goods that don’t seem to be local, and heavy on just a few foods. Budapest Christmas markets were much better. You cou…

Can’t decide between going to Budapest or Vienna for the Christmas markets in December So we were planning to go to Vienna but it’s a bit expensive. Looking at Budapest as an alternative since it’s cheaper (like 30-40% less) but I keep seeing comments about how stupidly crowded their markets get.
