Budapest -->Sarajevo --> Dalmatian Coast

[Bottlecap]

Is this trip possible to do in a couple weeks? Anyone been to any of these places? Advice? I hear Budapest is sick.

Definitely possible. I have been to Sarajevo and the Dalmatian Coast. I recommend both, especially trips out to the Islands in Croatia or down to Dubrovnik.

this is for prague, czech repub, but seemed like a pretty good deal.

prague 6 nights & air from $549.

That is a smokin deal, and we considered Prague, but its probably too far north to include it in our trip.

Originally, we were thinking about the Krakow, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest circle, but we want to check out the coast and make our $ stretch further.

Instead we want to incorporate Budapest --> Zagreb --> Ljubljana --> DC --> Sarajevo before heading back up to Budapest.

Appreciate any advice!

Budapest is marvelous. Make sure you go to the baths (I went to the Szechenyi), but it's probably a mistake to go on one of the men-only days. Unless you're into that.

Budapest is the ****. Definitely go.

I was there in November 2004... did the Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow route (then back to Prague). Budapest was the best of all those.... followed by Krakow.

You have to go to Budapest.

I was in Budapest in 1994. They were really happy - the wall had just come down.

A HUGE plate (enough for 4 people, easy) of venison and potatoes, and a pint of beer cost $2 USD.

It was awesome.

I also was in Budapest in 1994. It is a great place. I particularly remember a great meal at a place called the Gundel House. Also, there is a park outside of town with all of the communist era statues. That was way cool.

There is a novel called Prague by Arthur Philips that is actually about a group of American's in Budapest in 1990. It is a good book and captures the city and that era well.
