Budapest, Prague, Berlin - who's been and has suggestions for things to see/do?
 

Flying to Europe for a work trip in a couple weeks, and extending out for some personal travel. Hitting Budapest, Prague, and Berlin - all new cities for me, so looking for suggestions on things to see/do. I'll be traveling solo, not huge into museums, but enjoy music, architecture, beer, art, outdoorsy stuff, history, etc.

Anyone have suggestions?

whores

Bang in every sacred place.

You have to check out the old town of Buda. It's absolutely gorgeous and well-preserved without being too gimmicky or touristy.

I haven't been to any of those places, sorry

I visited Budapest in 2001. I visited Berlin in 2015. I think both are must see.

Budapest was unreal. You will love it if you like food, architecture, and history. Did you know there is a statue to Anonymous? I ate like a king in that city. The only negative was that I felt guilty because everything was so cheap. Maybe that has changed over the last 15+ years. I don't remember the names of any places but my friends and I just wandered around and had a blast. Maybe another time I can tell you a funny story about the bath house on "Ladies Day".

I have a German friend/colleague that says Madrid and Berlin are the two cities an Earthling would show an alien interested in the pinnacle of European cities. I don't know about Madrid but he may be right about Berlin. It is intriguing as **** but in a very subtle way - it's easy to get distracted by the big tourist spots. But it covers the whole spectrum. On one hand is the huge architectural expressions of Hitler-era Germany. One the other hand you have a community committed to having at least one tree on every street. It's a shame you don't like museums because there is a whole island of them near Gendarmenmarkt. My wife and I had a blast drinking beer and listening to buskers in Monbijoupark near there.

We were only there a few days and were pretty much focused on the Berlin Museum of Medical History at the Charite because I work in microbiology. I highly recommend their small museum if you have any interest in medical history.

Hope that helps!

P.S. - Mahomes.

Prague Castle, walk through old town Prague, have some absinthe

My info is 30 years old but Prague was very hedonistic at that time.

I once dated a girl from Czechoslovakia, I fell in love, took her home to meet my folks but my folks said they don't accept Czechs.

I had to break it off. Cash only.......
