Our Trip To Europe Was Every Foodie’s Dream Come True!

A Romantic 10N/11D Honeymoon Trip To Europe

Budapest was the first stop on our trip to Europe. Over here we visited beautiful sightseeing places, found great deals at shopping markets, and most importantly- enjoyed delicious food.

A special mention to the Danube River, which was oozing with charm and allure. It’s presence right in the middle of Budapest, made the city look 2 times more beautiful.

Our top picks of things to do in Budapest

• Ruin Pubs: We traveled to the Old Jewish Quarters where we saw artsy bars and pubs all over the place running inside abandoned houses. The place was bubbly during the day, and at nights it got even livelier.
• Hop-on Hop-off sightseeing tour: Our Europe tour package included a sightseeing bus tour pass for every city we were supposed to visit. We saved a lot of money, by using the pass for as many times as we wanted in any form of public transport.
• Thermal Baths: We decided to go for a dip in the thermal hot springs in Budapest. A popular attraction for tourists, we visited one of the public pools designed with Roman architecture and fountains around them.
• Shopping: We saw a lot of places to shop for travelers of all budgets. To buy souvenirs at decent prices, we visited the street market at Central Hall. Whereas, for shopping at brands, we liked Vaci Street in central Budapest.

Best food items in Budapest

The food in most of the European countries is bland and devoid of any spices. However, Hungary is one of the very few countries in Europe, where people have an appetite for spices and rich flavors. That unique taste reflects in the food in Budapest which contains a variety of spices like paprika, pepper, and chilies. 

In Budapest, we tried delicious local cuisine like Goulash, chicken broth, and fried cheeseburger.

Vienna: Art and history at it’s finest

It seemed like every place we visited in Vienna, had a 500-year-old story behind it. Same was the case with food and restaurants. We treated ourselves to mouth-watering Austrian desserts like Sachertorte at Hotel Sacher and Apple Strudel at Cafe-Restaurant Residenz.

Immeasurable Beauty in Salzburg and the Lake District

On the seventh day of our trip to Europe, we boarded a train from Vienna and reached Salzburg at noon.

Along with its undeniable beauty, villages around Salzburg were home to a lot of famous personalities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Niki Lauda, and Mozart.

Our top picks of things to do in Salzburg

• Sightseeing in Salzburg: We started our hop-on-hop-off bus tour in Salzburg from Mirabellplatz. From there, we moved on to visit places like Mozart’s house, Salzburg Cathedral, Hellbrunn Palace, and Sound of Music movie shooting locations.
• Day trip to Lake District (Hallstatt village): We booked a cab for a day trip to Hallstatt– the world’s most beautiful village. We traveled to the famous Lake District in Austria that consists scenic villages and 76 lakes.
  We spent most of our time in Hallstatt- a magical UNESCO world heritage site that seemed too good to be true for real life. After that, on our way back to Salzburg we visited Lake Mondsee- one of the purest lakes in the world.

Best food items in Salzburg

We visited many beer gardens in Salzburg where some of the pubs would serve 1900 kinds of beer. For a beer lover like me, this place was like heaven.

In Hallstatt, we had Schnitzels and Goulash for lunch by the lake at Cafe Simone.

Prague: The evergreen Bohemian paradise

Their Honeymoon Trip To Europe Was So Beautiful, It Looks Like A Dream!

On the ninth day, we took a train from Salzburg and arrived at the final stop of our Europe tour package. My wife and I landed in the perfect city for a grand finale of a trip to Europe. A young, vibrant, and cosmopolitan city, Prague welcomed us with open arms.

Our top picks for things to do in Prague

John Lennon wall and pub: We started the sightseeing by visiting the most recognizable and modern-day monument in Prague-Lennon Wall. Just across the wall, we also paid a visit to the Lennon Pub to grab a few drinks and chill out.

Kampa Island: Located in the middle of Vltava river in Prague, we chose to hang out at the Kampa Island Park to bathe in the afternoon sunshine. Just as we were exploring the place by foot, we realized that the park was hosting a Blues Music Festival. We had a great time listening to music made by local indie bands which aren’t so famous in the world.

Best food items in Prague

Although it was tough to think beyond beer in Prague, the city had plenty of interesting things to eat. We tried a unique local dish called Trdelnik, which is an original Czech dessert.

After a whirlwind of adventures, our epic trip to Europe was winding up with a flight back to Mumbai. We never thought that we could explore and witness so many beautiful things in just ten days. The sweet desserts we tried, were experiences in itself that left an indelible mark on our taste palate.

Europe is a place, my wife and I would like to revisit, rediscover, and relive without a second thought. For that to happen, I would look forward to TravelTriangle again for expertise and guidance.
