From Vienna to Sofia (post-vacation)

Ah, Sarajevo was just too far and will have to wait for next time.
Something to look forward to.

Yes, I absolutely had the famous wine in Eger. At my hotel (the wonderful
Senator Haz), you could...

From Vienna to Sofia (post-vacation)

Hi, Gerry: Oh, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! I would make a
few changes, of course:

1. No trains in Serbia. Only buses. I bought a first-class ticket
from Belgrade to Budapest. ...

From Vienna to Sofia (via a western sightseeing route or an eastern???)

Thank you so much for such a thorough and informative reply! Your
recommendations are great in that some of them (like Szentendre and
Melk) definitely sound like they're off the beaten path. I...

From Vienna to Sofia (via a western sightseeing route or an eastern???)

Hi, Sarah:


I was curious as to why you didn't mention Dubrovnik in your other
e-mail. It's breathtakingly beautiful, and a must if you're in the
neighborhood.

I had always considered the...

From Vienna to Sofia (via a western sightseeing route or an eastern???)

I think that the problem is going to be too much to see in too little
time. Clearly I can't do both the western route AND the eastern route
in the three weeks I've got. I'm really torn about...

Thanks for the advice! The Prinz Eugen sounds good. And everyone seems
to agree about Sarajevo--it sounds like it would be the highlight of the
trip.

Thanks for the advice. It's funny--in his reply to this post Gerry
suggested giving Sofia a day, but passing on Plovdiv. You're the other
way around! Heh--everyone has their own tastes. Well, I...

Eastern / Central Europe WAS very cheap (compared to Western Europe)
up until two or three years ago but these days, unless you're well off
the beaten path, there's not much difference...

Thank you for the tips! You're right--I wasn't thinking of Vienna as
eastern Europe. It's simply my launching off point. I'll see the big
Van Gogh exhibition and then leave because I've been to...

Good point. Except from Bratislava, you can't. Geographically
a train from Kosice to Miskolc would make sense but it doesn't
exist.

What about buses? Someone else in this newsgroup...

It's an age thing: Sophia Loren.

Ah! I'm 43 and, for the first time in a long while, I feel young again.

You wouldn't want to spend more than a couple of days in Bratislava.
If you go to Slovakia, get out of the capital and go to a smaller
town (I went to Banska Bystrica and Kosice and can...
