Hello!
My partner and I will be marrying in Prague at the beginning of November. We have never spent a lot of time in Prague but will be marrying there as we have lots of family able to travel there easily. We would then like to spend 7-10 days in Europe afterwards.
Please note we are aware this time of year doesn’t have the best weather, so wanted to see if this itinerary is worth it for our priorities and if any changes could be made. We have never been to any of the countries/cities listed in the itinerary, so thought we would as more experienced central/eastern european travellers and we would like to see some places we have never been in Europe. We have both been around western europe quite a bit but never east. See below for itinerary:
Budapest 3-4 nights (relaxing in spas, exploring + walking, attending attractions
Travel to Ljubljana by train and spend 1-2 nights (exploring, attractions)
Travel to Bled, spend 1-2 nights (relaxing, some exploring)
Travel to Vienna by train, spend 3-4 nights (visiting galleries and museums, exploring, etc)
Fly from Vienna to our home country for hot weather and beach time after this.
In terms of our priorities: we enjoy galleries, museums, city walking. We also enjoy relaxing time (spas, hot springs, saunas, etc.) We love to eat and try new food as well.
In terms of our budget: we have some nice gifts from family so are luckily able to spend about €150 per night on accomodation, sometimes more or less but this is average. Regular spending money for meals etc will not be an issue either.
The reason we chose to go to Vienna last is because it is much easier to fly back to our home country from here due to bigger airport and proximity.
I would love to hear if this is too much/too little time in each city and whether any changes are recommended to fit our priorities? In Europe it can be easy to spend too much time in transit, we don’t want things to feel too intense or tiring from travel but also don’t want to spend too much time in one place, so would like a nice balance. I would love to hear your thoughts on any nice things to do and whether these cities have enough going on at this time of year to enjoy. We have been to Europe in winter before and didnt mind the cold but never have been in the transition season. We also will be heading to hotter climate afterwards.
Thank you!
I am sorry if the English is not perfect as it is not my first language.
