Budapest is a very interesting city, not really what I expected, and much different than most we've visited so far. I'd always considered Vienna and Prague to be cities in Eastern Europe...no, those cities are in central Europe, Budapest is eastern. You can just feel that this city is different from everything else we've visited, and looking down from the top of the castle verifies your feelings. Budapest doesn't have the medieval feel of Prague with cobblesto...

Our Eurail doesn't cover the Czech Republic so we don't have any free trains in that country. However, I really wanted to see Prague, so we decided to buy a train ticket there anyway. Trains in Czech aren't very expensive, but we still won't go to any other cities here because we have free trains in other countries. Regardless, knock out another city and country on my list. Prague is similar to Vienna but with a little more of a medieval feeling and without t...

Füssen is located southwest of Munich about an hour away in the Bavarian Alps. Once we got into town we took a 5 minute bus to the base of a mountain valley and it was like a whole different world, there was snow everywhere. It seriously felt like we were in Narnia, the snowflakes were huge and they didn't seem real (and it hadn't been snowing anywhere else in Germany) and there were two fairy tale castles in view. These castles were built by King Ludwig ...

Back to Munich, but this time without Oktoberfest. We didn't really see any of the city last time so we still have to see all the sites. The first day, we took a free walking tour like in Berlin, it was definitely worth it because you see the sites and hear the history of the buildings, the city, and Bavaria in general. By the way, Bavarians do not like to be called German, they are Bavarian. Sean called a lady German in a store and she very adamently replied...

Nuremberg was a short stop for us on the train ride between Bamberg and Munich that we decided to stop at for several hours to see a castle. We were only there for about 3 hours but the castle there was worth seeing, it was very well preserved and is a lot like you would imagine a medieval castle. Nuremberg has their own special type of sausage which is the other reason we decided to stop here. They are small, similar to our breakfast links, and our served six...
