7 Days in Eastern Europe, incl. Budapest and Berlin
Budapest's ruin bars lead to Kraków's medieval market square, Prague's beer halls, and Berlin's historic sites. Thermal baths and cultural immersion create lasting memories.
- Day 1
Budapest
Start in Hungary's capital. Visit the Castle District before 10 AM to avoid crowds and get great city views. Spend your afternoon relaxing at Széchenyi Thermal Baths (4200-5000 HUF). Remember to pack flip-flops and a quick-dry towel. In the evening, walk around the lit-up Parliament Building and take photos from across the Danube.
- Day 2
Budapest to Krakow
Start your day at the Great Market Hall for a traditional Hungarian breakfast. Try the lángos, a local favorite of fried bread with toppings. Visit Nem Adom Fel Café, which supports locals with disabilities, before catching your overnight train to Krakow. Book upper bunks for better air flow and pack some snacks since dining car options are limited.
- Day 3
Krakow
Arrive early in Krakow. The main square (Rynek Główny) starts buzzing around 8 AM. Perfect time for coffee and watching the city wake up. Take the Auschwitz tour (155 PLN) but book ahead as it fills up fast. Or explore the Jewish Quarter of Kazimierz. "The Old Jewish Quarter gives such perspective on pre-war Jewish life - the small synagogues and quiet courtyards tell countless stories," one visitor noted.
- Day 4
Krakow to Prague
Take the morning train to Prague (8 hours). Pick seats in the middle cars for a smoother ride. Get your bearings in Prague's Old Town when you arrive. Spend your evening at a beer hall, but remember they usually stop serving food by 9 PM. Skip the tourist spots near Old Town Square and head to Žižkov for more authentic options.
- Day 5
Prague
Get to Prague Castle before 9 AM to beat the crowds. Walk through Malá Strana down to Charles Bridge. The Museum of Communism offers great historical context for your afternoon explorations. Most museums offer free entry on the first Monday monthly. End your day watching sunset at Letná Beer Garden, but bring cash since cards aren't always accepted.
- Day 6
Prague to Berlin
Take the five-hour train to Berlin. Visit the East Side Gallery (the longest remaining Berlin Wall section) in the afternoon when the light is best for photos. Take an evening walk around central Berlin, especially near Hackescher Markt. Get the BVG app for public transport to avoid confusion with ticket machines.
- Day 7
Berlin
7 Days in Central Europe, incl. Budapest and Prague
Budapest's Parliament stands proudly alongside Prague's Astronomical Clock. Bratislava's Michael's Gate, Vienna's Imperial Treasury, and Mikulov's wine region offer UNESCO-recognized beauty.
- Day 1
Budapest
Land by 2:30 PM to join the 4:30 PM orientation walk. Take local transport to St. Stephen's Basilica and Parliament, then cross the Chain Bridge to Castle Hill. Book your stay in the Jewish Quarter for easy access to Budapest's ruin bars. A recent visitor shared: "The evening light on the Parliament building from the Fisherman's Bastion viewpoint was magical – definitely time your visit for sunset."
- Day 2
Budapest to Bratislava
- Day 3
Vienna Day Trip
Take the one-hour train to Vienna. Join a walking tour of Karlsplatz and the Hofburg complex. Consider returning by boat on the Danube (€30, 2 hours) instead of train but book early. One traveler noted: "The boat trip back to Bratislava was worth every penny. Seeing both cities from the water gives you a completely different perspective."
- Day 4
Wine Country
- Day 5
Prague
- Day 6
Prague Exploration
Use this free day to explore. Take the 8:30 AM train to Konopiste Castle before tour groups arrive. Or book a church concert but reserve two days ahead. For dinner, try the local spots in Vinohrady. A visitor suggests: "Skip the tourist restaurants on Old Town Square. The best traditional Czech food is in the side streets off Wenceslas Square."
- Day 7
