Berlin is a fairly affordable city. Aldi has really good deals that helped us avoid spending too much on food.
FREE TOURS
We took two Civitatis Free Tours. One of them was the "Free Walking Tour of Berlin" and the other was "Alternative Berlin" . They really help you get a clearer historical and artistic perspective of the city.
organization
It's a huge city with so much to offer. We recommend having a basic plan so you don't miss the essentials. Always remember to wander through the streets, as there are plenty of surprises to discover.

Do you want to 'Berlin' a bit more?
We're putting together a one-week Berlin trip soon, including Potsdam and the Sachsenhausen concentration camp

PRAGuE
Prague, capital of Czech Republic, is a city you discover wandering around, through its cobbled streets, it’s bridges and towers that tell stories from centuries ago, while the river Vltava calmly runs through the city. It’s timeless walks, its sweet gastronomy and the imposing silhouette of the San Vito Cathedral immerses the traveller in a romantic and melancholic atmosphere.

Prague is a city that you really need to wander around to fully feel its vibe. Beyond the main landmarks, it's full of unique little alleys.
03
VIENNA
Vienna, capital of Austria and point of reference for diplomatic relations since the Congress of Vienna in 1814, is an imperial city that reflects the greatness of the European XIX Century. Its wide streets, accompanied by classic-styled buildings and a neutral colour palette, creates an elegant perspective, organized and clean that defines the city’s character.



We were only in Vienna for about 10 hours, so we couldn't see everything. We had enough time to check out the highlights and get a little taste of the city. We recommend staying in the city for at least one night.
These are the MUST-SEES of our short tour:
-
Austrian Parliament Building
-
Votive Church
-
Vienna City Hall
-
Sisi Museum
-
Austrian National Library
-
Vienna State Opera St. Charles Church
-
Belvedere Palace


04

BUDAPEST
Budapest, capital of Hungary, is a city that impresses you without ever fully explaining itself. Its avenues, bridges, the greatness of its monuments, like the Cattle of Buda or the Parliament of Budapest reflect an impressive historical richness, intertwined with brushstrokes of street art that break with its clear solemnity. When night falls, those monuments seem to vanish in between the famed ruin bars, and the city is transformed into a livelier environment where the old and the alternative coexist.

Budapest is a safe city, but there are some areas you should avoid especially those near the Budapest-Keleti train station.

We're releasing a one-week Budapest travel guide soon!
04
BUChAREST
Bucharest, capital of Romania, is a city of sharp contrasts, where nothing seems to fit in completely. Here the social differences are not hidden but rather lived in every corner. Just by walking its streets is enough to understand that the past and the present coexist without order. Wandering around Bucharest is a constant unpredictability. You never know what is awaiting you, a street full of life, tourist bars, or the hardest contrast, where precarity becomes visible during the day, the city lives: cars, voices, movement, an energy that seems to be the foundations of everything. But when night falls, the scenery changes. Midnight strolls are not calm and become faster journeys, more tense, where every streetcorner feels different.



We were in Bucharest for less than 24 hours, so we couldn't see the whole city. We were left wanting to stay one more night to learn more about the country's culture and traditions.
These are the MUST-SEES of Count Dracula's home country capital:
-
Piața Romană
-
Kilometer Zero Monument (Bucharest)
-
Statue of Constantin Brâncoveanu
-
National Bank of Romania
-
Palace of the Parliament



04
VENice
Venice, in Italy, is a city that is more felt rather than understood. Its wet streets, with the water gently hitting the stone and the Venetian houses so rich in history create a nostalgic atmosphere. The best plan is to stop, sitting next to the canal and letting the water and the gondolas dictate time. Remember, Venice is not only one: there is the one where the Venetians live, serene and hidden and the one that tourists visit, full of movement. And between those two, in that balance, is where the city truly begins.
After two weeks of traveling, in Venice we focused more on wandering through the narrow alleys rather than visiting all the main landmarks. So we don't have much content to recommend (for now...).
This is what we visited and the MUST-SEES:
-
St. Mark's Square
-
Bridge of Tits (Ponte delle Tette)
-
Rialto Bridge
-
Doge's Palace
-
St. Mark's Basilica

EXPENSES
Venice is a very expensive city, so supermarkets are a really easy way to save money. Pasta and sauces were very reasonably priced.
04
FLORENCIA
Florence, in Italy, is one of the art capitals the leaves sensations hard to explain. It’s a city with a wide and rich history and patrimony. Its museums, cathedrals and hidden corners have that capacity to captivate anyone who experiences it. Here art is not something you simply observe, it’s the language with which the city expresses itself. Every street, every facade, every detail is part of a narrative that immerses the traveller in an art manuscript.





In Florence, the same thing happened to us as in Venice: we prioritized wandering around instead of visiting the city and its museums in depth.
We recommend taking a Free Tour, as it lets you get a taste of the rich history the city has to offer.
This is what we visited and the MUST-SEES:
-
Basilica of Santa Maria Novella
-
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
-
Piazza della Signoria Ponte Vecchio
Gastronomy:
-
Matto Matto Pizzeria Grill Ristorante
-
La Strega Nocciola Gelateria Artigianale

04
MILaN
Milan, in Italy, city of luxury and fashion. In between its cobbled streets and its Italian-styled buildings, discovering big designer brands with perfectly curated shop windows, creating a syntony between luxury and the city of Milan that leads you to imagine a utopic life, in which you visualize yourself walking inside the Duomo and the galleries with designer clothing, finishing off by walking by the river at night, enjoying the city’s atmosphere and night life.

TIPS
In the summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes, so we don't recommend buying the repellents sold on the street, as they tend to attract them even more. In our case, the situation became so uncomfortable that we had to go back home.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS


1 / Seat Reservations
The Interrail app specifies that some trains require a seat reservation. We strongly recommend doing this, as we had a few issues during our travels that could have been completely avoided.
2 / Choose Your Accommodation Wisely
Having accommodation in a good location is important, as it saves a lot of time when going out to explore the city. Even if they are more expensive, it always pays off in the end.
3 / Plan Each City's Must-Sees
We made the mistake at the beginning of improvising our sightseeing, but we realized how important it is to know what to see in each city so you can leave feeling like you truly experienced it.
4/ Prioritize Seeing Fewer Cities and Exploring Them More
During our 17-day trip, we visited 8 cities. It's a demanding travel style, and by the end, the fatigue from so many trains and sightseeing really kicked in. We think the experience might be even better with fewer destinations and more days spent in each city.
