From Vienna to PRAGUE [Part III, End]

Train departed in the early morning,  it took us 4 hours to reach our next destination - Prague. 

Our first stop in Prague is HUNTING FOR FOOD! 

Restaurant

Bila Krava

A French restaurant where they offer their best local food and varieties of dishes you can find in their menu. I didn't know i will love their restaurant so much! You should try it! No, i think you MUST have it!

This is how i describe their dishes:

Michelin star, high standard of food and fresh ingredients.

Burgundy snail (Escargot), seriously it is tooooo good. Ops, did i mention I am a semi-vegetarian?

Vegetables salad with grilled chicken breast

Beef Bourguignon

Grilled Aubergine Slice (Eggplant)- One of the best dish i will recommend!

The municipal house 

 I am more excited than anyone, my first symphony orchestra concert in Euro country! One of the most remarkable event during this trip.

 

 

St. Nicolas Church

 

St. Vitus Cathedral 

One of the church that took my breath away, how magnificent it is!

 Charles Bridge

 

Night view of Old Town Square & Christmas market

One of the best dessert in town // Chimney cake with ice cream

The moment you can eat like a kid but no one care, imagine the the ice cream is dripping from the chimney cone, and how it melts all over your hands. What you can do is suck from the bottom and lick the whole cone from any direction! 

Coated with cinnamon sugar and without ice cream

Nutella and ice cream flavor

Dancing House

 Petrin Tower

3- day in Vienna 维也纳 [Part II]

One of my favourite city as I named them as city of music. A place is rich with its music and history; where Beethoven, Johannes Brahms and Mozart were born. After sitting on a proper train for 2:30hr from Budapest, we’ve arrived. 

The first thing before we ever started to explore Vienna, is to get our Vienna pass for our trip. Vienna pass covers quite a lot to of attractions and museums for a fairly price. We get the €99 of 3-day pass where you can just hop on and off to all those attractions, unlimited. Aside from the pass, the inclusion of Vienna guidebook and tour bus map is a bonus where they planned the perfect trip for visitors.  

A lot of well-known landmarks such as Schönbrunn Palace, Hofburg, Albertina Museums, Vienna State Opera, St. Stephen’s Cathdrel, Belvedere, Austrian National Library are located in Vienna ! 


ENJOY

Schönbrunn Palace

The 1,441-room Baroque Palace is one of the major tourist attraction. This place occupied 176 hectares big.
Be ready to spend at least half a day to visit this place. Undoubtedly, this place and its garden is tremendously magnificent!

Explore Budapest [ Part 1 ]

Seeing these three cities (Budapest, Vienna, and Prague) ultimately by foot, we walked an average 12,000 steps everyday during the trip. Not to say, It’s all wakable cities, transportation is well connected too. We spent 3 full days to explore each city, and yet we had only barely managed to cover the main attractions of every cities, while we only stretched the surface of what they had offered.

Let’s talk about the first country of our visit- Budapest, it stands out as one of the old fashioned cities in Europe but somehow Budapest is a heaven of cheap and amazing food. The iconic buildings like Buda Castle, Hosok tere , Fisherman’s Bastion, and St. Stephen's Basilica reflect the culture and history of Budapest.  

Liberty bridge 

 

The night view is stunning, especially after sunset, where all the lights hit on the bridge, the building, and the streets.

Fisherman's Bastion

Situated on the Buda bank, Fisherman's Bastion is located on Castle Hill. For the great way to explore this attraction and this city as well, walking could take in more of the local scenery than taking public transportation. Believe it or not. I'll prove you right.

Fisherman's Bastion: This platform provides panoramic view where you can capture the view of the city and all along the Danube River. 

Matthias Church

Parliament

Hősök tere
