Once in a while I take time to check the phrases and words readers use and get to the blog. I believe it’s time I answer some of those travel related questions in an article.

In italics you’ll see the phrased searched. And next to it, my answer. Hope it’s useful.

Hungary landmarks: aside from the beloved Budapest with its many landmarks, I can also suggest a trip to Eger, a lovely medieval city, a short day trip to Gyula and some time spent enjoying the thermal springs.

free walking tour Athens: I can recommend this one.

Arad Budapest train time: between 4 and 5h. Details here.

scary Romanian legends; haunted forest in Romania sightings and Romania’s scary places: they usually come in a “package” with scary places. But seriously guys, why do you look for scary stuff to do in Romania?

best things to do in Romania, top things to do in Romania and top 10 things to do in Romania: I may be partial to mountains and castles, but I recommend Sighisoara and Corvinilor Castle. Other places to visit can be found in this article.

things to do Bratislava Slovakia: let’s start with the free ones from this article.

The Signature of all Things – Elizabeth Gilbert review: read it here

would love to take a vacation but I am on a very strict budget. what can you suggest. Here are some ideas, written from personal experience. Generally speaking, travel outside the high season, opt for cheapest form of transportation (usually bus) and stay in hostels.

day trips in Arad: ok, more like day trips from Arad…but still, IN Arad you can find Ceala Forest. As for, “from” Arad, here are some ideas. And here are some historical sites near by.

panzio in Macea: I have no idea. But touristguide.com might be of help.

getting Hungary Parliament tickets: this is how it worked when I visit in 2012. I believe things have changed a bit since then. Plus, I’m EU citizen.

boat trips Mattinata Vieste: I only know of a marine caves tour on this route. However, you can always ask in the port.

Hotel Geblergasse Wien: possibly the worst choice I’ve ever made (it was very dull). Review here.

best European destinations in spring: here are my favorites but I am sure a lot more can be added to the list.

Capote Duncan Carrie Diaries: a fun read, review here.

scary stuff to do in Bucharest: if you ask me, just going there is scary enough for me.

rental or hostel: both actually. But it depends on how many of you travel together. Details here.

tour of Old Town Vieste: there is one available. We never managed to attend it. Ask for hours / details at the hotel / villa you are staying at.

Pensiunea Raluca Moneasa: or a place I love. Review here.

Vienna in 2 days in the summer: is actually a rather crazy idea. We went to Vienna in winter but I’ve been there before, in the summer. Pretty much , in 2 days , you cannot see a lot of things and if you go for the museums, you’ll miss out on the rest. If you choose Prater, you can say good bye to the rest of the sights in the city. You’d want to walk on the Ring and enjoy the sites. And maybe visit Schonbrunn.

Danube Tower: that’s in Vienna and is a nice place to see the city from above.

the best museums of Europe: here is a list of the ones I loved.
