Apartment Review: Cheap Airbnb apartment in hipster Jewish Quarter in Budapest

August 8, 2015 By James Clark

Airbnb apartment 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 […]

New Country Day – Romania

September 10, 2011 By James Clark 8 Comments

New Country Day - Romania

I have a tradition where I celebrate New Country Day – the first day in a country I’ve never been to. Technically I have been to Romania before, but I am calling this new country day. I never count airport layovers as a country visit, but what about border posts? I have previously trodden on […]

Save money on flights using alternative airports in Europe

December 8, 2009 By James Clark 4 Comments

Schiphol Airport

Since then I 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 […]

The tickets aren’t apparent to find on their website. I only knew about the ticket offer from billboards in Budapest, and there is no indication of the special price […]
