Vienna Austrial

 Vienna lived up to it's reputation of being a beautiful city full of palaces and great architecture.  We walked for miles just looking up at all the beautiful buildings, water fountains and statues.  When we came up from the subway the first thing we saw was St Stephen's Cathedral, then took a walking tour. Our guide taught us lots along the way, I had no idea that the Hofburg Palace was the home of the Hofburg dynasty for over 600 years!

 

 

 

  

 

Bratislava Slovakia

We stayed 45 minutes outside Vienna in Bratislava because Vienna is so expensive.  

  

  

Budapest, 7 days was not enough time!

 We have been traveling full-time traveling two + years, around the world two times and 50 + countries, Budapest is a top tier place for our seven-day visit, it’s a place we encourage anyone to visit.  The city had a building boom in the 1870’s preparing for their 1,000 anniversary in 1896, so the architecture on all the buildings is amazing! It’s one of the most beautiful cities with the Danube River running through the middle, it’s very walkable and friendly. We used their public transportation system every day to get around.  Some of the places we toured were St. Stephen Basilica, a 700 room Parliament building, Roman ruins, second largest synagogue in the world, House of Terror where the Nazis then the Hungary’s special police commented crimes and atrocities on the people. To cap it off our AIRBNB had everything we needed and then some extras, plus it was in a great location.
