A Relaxing Visit to Budapest

- Hungary
From Slovakia we took the train to Budapest, only three hours away. We planned to visit the city on our first day, and enjoy one of the many thermal baths on day two. A perfect plan, as this allowed us to recharge from our busy schedule and many transit days in the weeks prior.
Top Foods from Slovakia

- Slovakia
Slovakia shares a few favorites with neighboring countries, like Kofola and poppy seed-filled sweets, however the most famous dish for sure has to be the Bryndzové halušky. It’s either a hit or miss, depending on how flavorful you like your cheese. We were big fans of this deliciously cheesy dish, and couldn’t wait to try more authentic dishes.

- Slovakia
The capital cities of Austria and Slovakia are only separated by a 90-minute train ride. So, logically, our next stop after Vienna was Bratislava. We didn’t really know what to expect from Slovakia, as it is a country often overlooked. But, we figured, why not spend a day in Bratislava to see what it is all about.

- Austria
The two main dishes that come to mind when thinking about Austria are its schnitzel and apfelstrudel. However, of course Austrian cuisine has a lot more to offer. We spent one-day sampling Austrian food, which pretty much wiped out our carbs for the week! Also, eating out is quite pricy in Austria, so we decided to stick to a few must try foods.

Vienna is world renowned for its opera, but the city definitely has more to offer: countless architectural masterpieces, museums, palaces, and lush green gardens show that Vienna once was the culture capital of Europe.
