Friends trip from Vienna to Budapest by bike
Our take
Hi everyone, I'm organising a trip for this summer along with 4 other friends of mine, and our first idea was to go from Vienna to Budapest by bike, crossing Bratislava as well. I have been to both Vienna and Budapest and have no worries at all about the interest of these cities, but here is the thing. When we go on a trip with my friends, our first interest is to meet the locals and to let the trip happen, if for example someone invites us to a village celebration lost in the middle of nowhere there is a high change we'll go, last time we ended up fishing for two days with some old folks and that ended up being the best part of our journey, our plans are always bond to change everyday and that's what we love about travelling.
This is the first time we would pick a very touristic destination and are worried the path between Vienna to Budapest might be a little monotone with mostly people tired of seeing tourists go past.
If anyone has been there I would be very curious to have their feedback and advices on alternative places to go around Budapest or further, we are not looking for precise plans but global advises are welcome (and if someone wants to advise something completely different, we'll take it)
Thanks a lot!

- Need help choosing nature spots in Central Europe!Hi all, I am currently planning a solo trip to Central Europe for May (I am located in the US). Earlier this week, I posted an itinerary that got some traction, and I made some revisions based on the feedback, shown below. Prague (3 nights) -> Munich (2 nights) -> ??? + Salzburg? (5 nights) -> Vienna/Bratislava day trip (4 nights) I am debating where to go for an alpine retreat/sightseeing for 5 nights in the middle of my trip, whether that is in southern Germany or in Tyrol. I am assuming I would need to spend at least a night in Salzburg to get to Vienna the next day. Based on some of the suggestions from the last post, I was thinking 2 nights in Berchtesgaden, 2 nights in Zell am See, and 1 night in Salzburg, but I am very open to any suggestions. Also, any info on where to eat, what to do, where to stay, or any other small tips for the other cities is greatly appreciated. I have traveled a bunch before with friends and family, but this is my first time alone. I have already booked all the hostels for the other cities. For my interests (if pertinent): I love trying new/unique food Not big on museums/art I like to hike/am faster paced at traveling in general Prefer to use public transportation rather than renting a car I don't drink at all Thanks! submitted by /u/TheCheesyTaco [link] [comments]
- Looking for budget-friendly European city breaks like BudapestHi everyone! Last year I visited Budapest (Hungary) and absolutely loved it. It’s one of those cities that doesn’t get talked about much in Spain compared to places like France, Italy or Germany, but when I went I was genuinely blown away. Now I’m looking for another affordable city break from Spain. Some people have recommended Bruges in Belgium, or doing Prague + Vienna, and even returning to Hungary, but I’m still not sure. I’m basically looking for: A European city that feels “wow” like Budapest Affordable (flights + accommodation + food) Good for a 3–5 day trip Maybe a bit underrated / not the obvious tourist pick Any recommendations? Thanks! submitted by /u/Nervous_Client9658 [link] [comments]
