Eastern Europe on a budget in 14 days: Prague, Kraków and Budapest
Prague → Kraków → Budapest
Hostels, milk bars and intercity coaches across three countries that still cost a fraction of Western Europe. Three currencies and none of them the euro, the free walking tours that are not free, and the one day trip that should not be done on the cheap.
-
Best for: Three capitals, one visa
Central Europe in 10 days: Prague, Vienna and Budapest
Prague → Vienna → Budapest
The classic European rail triangle, done at a pace that lets each city breathe: Prague's castle-and-bridge morning, Vienna's coffee houses and palace halls, Budapest's thermal baths and its river lit gold at night — three countries, three currencies, one Schengen visa and two four-hour trains.
