Sziget Festival – Budapest
I have never seen so many foreigners in Budapest. For six days (or seven, or eight, depending on the hangover), a mix of Hungarians and foreigners converge on one of Budapest’s islands in the Danube: Obudai-sziget. Campers fill the island all week here, the sight of Europe’s largest music and cultural festival [...] Read more
Stockholm – Copenhagen – Hamburg – Frankfurt – Vienna – Budapest

In Visegrad, Hungary
Train Tip: There may be no more beautiful view in Hungary than the Danube bend at Visegrad. The curve in the bend can be best seen from the castle remains atop the hill. To get there, take one of the taxis at the ferry station that make the trek up the hill. There’s not much [...] Read more
