Apartment Review: Cheap Airbnb apartment in hipster Jewish Quarter in Budapest
Airbnb is a good option for accommodation in Budapest. I found a private apartment in Budapest for $21 a night. That price was for the whole apartment, not just a rented room. I’ve seen hostel beds in Budapest listed at that price so this was a good deal. The apartment was a new listing which […]

Before my first trip to Europe I wouldn’t have been able to tell you where Karlsruhe, Katowice or Klagenfurt was on the map. I now not only know where they are, I have used their airports and have saved hundreds of Euros in the process. [Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – Closest isn’t always cheapest] My criteria […]
29 Euro train tickets from Budapest to Munich
MÁV, the train operators of Hungary, have special ticket prices from Budapest to locations around Europe. I got a ticket from Budapest to Munich for €29.
