When In Rome: Budapest & Prague

This year, I spent Easter weekend in Budapest and Prague! We arrived late on Thursday night in Budapest and went straight to bed. Friday morning, we went to the train station to buy our train tickets to Prague. The plan was to go caving in the afternoon, but with having trouble navigating the city and finding people who spoke English, it turned out we would not have enough time to see the city if we went caving. We walked around the whole city and visiting amazing views of the Danube. The transportation system was a little difficult to navigate so we did a lot of walking. For that evening, we signed up for a Danube River boat tour with drinks. We first had dinner at this cheap restaurant with amazing Hungarian food. I got mushroom goulash with it being Good Friday, along with an amazing thin pancake like I make at home from my Hungarian recipe book. The river boat tour was spectacular and the weather was great the whole time. The next morning we went to the baths before getting on our train to Prague. The weather was great so the outside baths were nice, however not as nice as the sauna and sulfur hot tub inside. The baths were not as authentic as the Turkish baths but were still very enjoyable.

The train to Prague was very enjoyable and relaxing. We went through Slovakia which was cool to see too. When we arrived in Prague, we checked out Charles Bridge and grabbed a late dinner around there. We went to bed early that night to get a head start on the day. We went on a free walking tour around Prague and saw the whole city. We also checked out the John Lenon Wall and Prague Castle before grabbing dinner in the Easter Market in Old Town Square. After that we headed to the pub crawl that was associated with our free tour that day. We went all over the city and ended up at the 5 story club which is the largest in all of Europe. We even checked out the ice bar where everything was completely made out of ice. After a long Easter night, we left Prague on the scariest flight I have ever been on with an airline called SmartWings. Needless to say, I was so happy to be back home in Roma!
