Florence - 1-2 nights. Cinque Terre - 3 nights ( Montorosso) Switzerland - we have friends that live in the Berner Oberland and will be staying with them for 7-8 days. Austria - Zell Am See - 2-3 nights. Hallstatt - 2 nights. Vienna - 3 nights. And then finish up with 2-3 nights in Prague or Budapest. I would add the days to Berlin, Prague, or Budapest. Sounds like the last 2 makes most sense. Plus Salzburg/Innsbruck are a ways out. If you want to cut that 8 hour rail trip add in Bratislava for 1 day only and add a day to Prague or Budapest. Prague is better known for its museums, nightlife, music, historical sights, big city activities, and impressive beauty, while Zagreb is more popular for its food. Prague is more touristy than Zagreb and is known for its world-famous old town, local beer, wild nightlife, historic landmarks, and the Charles Bridge. When comparing prices in Budapest and Prague it’s fairly clear that Budapest is cheaper in almost every aspect. Plus, if we look at the backpacker index, Budapest is the 42nd cheapest city with a cost of 33 USD per person per day, while Prague is only the 69th with a cost of 47 USD per person per day. Day 1: Start on the Pest side of the city. That's home to the huge Dohány Street Synagogue. It's one of the great landmarks of Budapest and reigns as the largest synagogue in Europe. From there, head to the wide boulevard of Andrássy, a spectacular thoroughfare and UNESCO site that's lined with Neo-Classical mansions. . The beer is better in Prague and the old town is lovely but there is a lot more to see in Vienna- palaces, museums and great concerts nearly every night if you want to hear some classical or opera. In Prague try to get a ticket to the Klementinum library - tours at "appointed hour" go early in the morning to get a ticket for later in the day. 65 posts. I agree: most places in Prague, Budapest & Vienna accept credit cards. With that said, some places you will visit do not, but getting cash from a cash machine shouldn't be a problem. ATMs are everywhere. Vienna is the only city on your trip officially on the Euro, but some places in Budapest & Prague will accept them. September. As the summer crowds start to thin out, September is a lovely month to visit Prague. Temperatures are still pretty warm with average highs of 65 degrees Fahrenheit (19 degrees Celsius) and average lows of 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius). It can rain a lot in September, but it's still a pleasant time to explore the city. Budapest is a great destination for its romantic activities. Also, Zagreb is still popular, but not quite as popular for couples. Couples visit Budapest frequently as it offers plenty of romantic activities. With it's many beautiful neighborhoods, and unique entertainment options including the opera, this is a fun city for couples. 15213 posts. Part Three (sorry Rick): While Prague has the grandest buildings other than them being "sights" you have no idea why they stand other than for the tourists to stare at. The buildings in Budapest on the other hand are working monuments with minor adaptations, sometimes major adaptations, to modern needs.

budapest or prague which is better
