Prague

Prague was definitely a beautiful city as well. Again, it didn't hurt that our already wonderful hotel gave us another free upgrade to a suite that overlooked the river and the castle. Wow, it was a million dollar view. Plus the two rooms & two bathrooms were nothing to complain about.

The Wachau Valley

On the drive from Vienna to Prague we took a detour and toured the Wachau Valley & town of Melk.

Budapest to Vienna

After spending two nights in Budapest we moved on to Vienna. Got a little lost in Vienna coming in and even went to the wrong Hilton hotel, but ultimately we made it ok.

Amazing detail & architecture

Budapest

Started our trip to Vienna, Prague and Budapest by flying into Vienna then driving immediately to Budapest. Budapest was an incredible city. Probably our favorite of the entire trip. Of course it helped that our already fabulous hotel provided a free upgrade to a suite. Two rooms and two bathrooms. It really helped with Lily.
