Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world and it is home to several palaces, as well as a cathedral, a basilica, and gardens. We're here now in Novy Svet - a cool little neighborhood right behind the castle. Here we are at the Kafka Museum. This museum is dedicated to him and his work and you'll find some of his letters, diary entries and photographs inside. Stroll along the John Lennon Wall and you'll encounter portraits of Lennon and Yoko Ono. Have a look. Up next we have a big plate of Goulash. Saint Vitus is a Gothic cathedral located within the walls of Prague Castle. Inside you'll be able to admire beautiful stained glass windows designed in the art nouveau style. Inside the KGB Museum you'll find old propaganda as well as some unusual pieces like a copy of Lenin's death mask. The Golden Lane gets its name because legend has it that Emperor Rudolph was a fan of alchemy. Charles Bridge is one of the most popular landmarks in the city. When in Prague you can check out the Astronomical Clock. You can't come to Prague and not sample the street food. One particularly popular item is the Trdlenik. Petrin Tower stands 63 meters high on a hill overlooking Prague. It slightly resembles the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Vyšehrad is a historical fort located in the city of Prague. In my hand here I've got myself a Pilsner beer and this is like a Czech institution. The Jeleni Prikop Park located right behind Prague Castle is a great place for a picnic or a little nap on the grass. Even though the National Museum is currently closed you can still attend musical performances in the evening. Another cool thing you can do is visit the Miniature Museum where you can see microscopic art. The Mucha Museum pays homage to Alphonse Mucha, and it's a must visit if you enjoy art nouveau. And that sums up our visit to Prague!

Is Bratislava, Slovakia Worth Visiting?
Is Bratislava, Slovakia worth visiting? I had no idea what to expect but within five minutes of arriving I knew this was going to be good. This European capital city really charmed me and it's well worth visiting. It’s a one hour drive from Vienna, Austria, which makes a perfect day trip. If you can spend a bit more time, even better.
How much is it to stay in Bratislava? Tour my Airbnb:
Visit the Bratislava Christmas Market with me:
The first thing I saw was the SNP Bridge or, as locals call it, the UFO Bridge which crosses the Danube River. SNP stands for Slovak National Uprising but the nickname comes from the flying saucer shaped restaurant that sits at the top of the bridge pylon. Unfortunately, the construction of the bridge meant that a large portion of the beautiful Old Town was destroyed, including almost the entire Jewish quarter.
St. Martin’s Cathedral, one of the city’s most historically important buildings, narrowly missed the bridge construction. The access ramp for the bridge is extremely close to it and the church is actually sustaining damage due to all the vibrations from the busy traffic. The cathedral was where Hungarian kings (and one queen!) were crowned for hundreds of years. Leaders of the Habsburg Empire, including the one and only Maria Theresa, had their coronations there between 1563 and 1830. There’s a crown at the top of the steeple sitting on a golden pillow which gives a hint of how significant this place is. On the sidewalk below there are little crown symbols that show the coronation procession route taken by royals on their way to St. Martin’s. You can follow them through the town, if you’d like to walk in their footsteps.
The best view of the cathedral is from Bratislava Castle which sits above the city. The hill has been populated since the Stone Age and the first known inhabitants were the Celts. There are a bunch of stairs to reach the castle but it’s well worth it. I love the crisp white colour of the castle with its four towers. I think it’s the best spot to see the sunset because the warm light at dusk is beautiful.
Michael’s Gate is the only surviving gate to the old city. There used to be four city gates and they were the only way in and out during medieval times. Michael’s Gate was built in the 13th century and in the 17th century a moat was added complete with a draw bridge that went up and down.
Nearby Michael’s Gate is Executioner Alley. It’s where the town executioner used to live and, because the city only had one, his house had to be clearly marked for anyone, um, needing him. The residence is now a massage centre which I found pretty funny.
If you’re in need of good luck there are some statues in Bratislava you can touch. One is of a man standing in a gutter at an intersection called ‘The Watcher.’ It’s considered good luck to touch his head. If you still need more luck, head over to the statue of Hans Christian Andersen and rub his finger. He visited Bratislava and it even inspired some of his writing.
One of my favourite spots in Bratislava is the Church of St. Elizabeth of Hungary or, as it’s better known, the Blue Church. Everything from the façade to the mosaic tiles to the roof is blue. Inside the art nouveau building even the pews are blue. This church is a really popular spot to get married and it takes years to get a booking.
A building that has been given the honour of being one of the ugliest in the world is also found in Bratislava: the Slovak Radio Building. This inverted pyramid is an excellent example of Brutalist architecture from the Communist era in Slovakia. Whether you love it or hate it, I doubt you’ll forget it.
We did a great free walking tour which I can highly recommend. If you’re interested, this is the company:
Does Bratislava look like a place that you’d like to visit? I’m curious what, if anything, surprised you in the video - leave a comment below.

Europe bus trip from Germany to Hungary travel vlog (Nuremberg to Prague to Budapest) video transcript:
Well good morning. It is about 5:30 AM here in Nuremberg. The sun is already out. I don't even know how that is possible even for summer it seems a bit early. Struggling here.
But anyways today is a travel day. We are going from Nuremberg to Budapest and we booked tickets on Flixbus because it was a lot cheaper than the train.
So we're going to be traveling. Hi Sam! Hello! This is really early for Audrey especially. Haha.
We're going to be traveling from Nuremberg to Prague to Budapest. It is a long day. It is going to be a long day. Yeah, so we're leaving here we're going to try and leave by six thirty-ish.
Six forty-five ish.
And we should be arriving in Budapest around seven forty-five to eight PM. So long day but we're bringing you along for the journey.
We'll show you what it is like to travel by bus in Europe and yeah going to finish my breakfast. Let's do it. Bye.
It is time for an update.
We have made it to Prague so we are in the Czech Republic having lunch. We've got about 50 minutes to spare before we get on the next bus. Wonderful looking sandwiches. We have cake. Carrot cake and I have a panini that is coming. Sounds good.
Okay but before we get into the food story time. So what happened on the bus?
Oh oh oh. When we were getting on?
Okay, so we got on and it is a double-decker bus and there is no assigned seats so you can sit anywhere. Anywhere. So I found a nice seat and it was empty. Nothing on the chairs so I go to sit down and this old man pushes me out the way and he's like 'De Bin Ich.' Like I am there. And I bumped my head because I mean the bus is kind of low on top.
But aside from that the three hour bus trip was pretty amazing. Like it was comfortable. I would say the bus was only like a quarter full. Maybe 20 to 30 percent capacity. So we each got our own section of seats. Yeah. We did some work. It was a three hour and twenty minute journey. Yeah.
And we slept for half of it. And it was beautiful. There was a lot of uh like we were going through scenic farms, through forests. Castles. Yeah, once we got into past the Czech Republic we started seeing castles and then we got a beautiful view of Prague as well coming in.
I was just looking at the screen because they announce the departures. So I don't even need to run off. I can see when my bus is leaving. There you go. We can actually enjoy our meal.
This is actually a pretty decent stop for like you know a bus station. Yeah, good food. Pretty good food and it is nice to be able to just relax a bit before we catch our next bus.
Hallo. Well time for a much needed update.
We didn't film getting off the bus or oh I did film a bit of the taxi ride.
Well as you can tell it is night time outside so this was a very very long day of bus rides. It is almost nine thirty PM so that was 12 hours or 13 hours of travel.
We're just waiting for our AirBNB host to come. Fingers crossed. Hopefully fingers crossed he shows up. We've been here 15 minutes. Yeah and a nice resident of the apartment let us come in. He let us come in through the gate but chilling in the lobby. We need that last key to get into our actual room.
Confession time. We were so tired we didn't finish the vlog properly last night so anyways we are nice and settled here in Budapest. We're going to be doing actually we're going to be here for a couple of weeks.
And catching up on work, also hopefully filming a city guide, doing a lot of food reviews and maybe some day trips.
But in the meantime we've got a pretty cool apartment and that will be our next video. An apartment tour so here is a little sneak peak of that.
This is part of our Travel in Europe video series showcasing European food, European culture and European cuisine.

Prague Christmas Market
PRAGUE CHRISTMAS MARKET - Prague’s Christmas Market at the Old Town Square has been named in the top 10 best Christmas Markets in the world. With the beautiful buildings surrounding the square on all sides, including two beautiful churches, it’s easy to see why.
My favourite part of the whole market - and it’s crowning glory - is the gigantic live Christmas tree in the centre of the square. Not only is it incredibly beautiful but it’s sourced in a very sustainable way. The company who is responsible for finding the perfect tree gives a monetary reward for tips on where to find it. They look for one that is already in danger of being cut down to minimize the environmental impact of cutting down such a large tree. After the market is over, and everyone has enjoyed its beauty, the tree completes its lifecycle by being turned into mulch.
The best view of the market, and the Christmas tree, is from the central viewing platform. If you’re lucky, you might catch the timed light show on the tree where the lights are coordinated with music.
We passed a Serbian booth selling bureks and I couldn’t help myself because I love bureks. Bureks are made by stretching dough over a long table and then adding different fillings. I got one with cheese and spinach and it was nice and flaky. To cap it all off, I tried some traditional Czech food of cabbage with ham and potato.
Something I noticed in the Czech Republic is that fortune-telling is very popular, especially around Christmastime. One of my favourite ways people forecast the future is on Christmas Eve after everyone has finished eating. Around the table, everyone must cut an apple in half and show both sides to everyone else. If the inside reveals a star, it forecasts good health and success for the next year and means there’s a good chance everyone at the table will gather again next year. If, however, you have a cross with four points it’s a bad omen that something bad will happen to someone sitting at the table in the next year. It forecasts sickness or even death and means that someone could be absent at next’s year’s gathering. Could definitely be a real downer after a lovely Christmas meal, don’t you think? Luckily it sounds like most apples have stars! Try it yourself, it you dare.
Another Czech tradition I discovered is specifically for unmarried women. The idea is that you stand with your back to a door and throw a shoe over your shoulder. If the shoe lands with the toe pointed at the door, you’ll get married in the next year. If the toe isn’t pointing towards the door, you’ll stay single the next year and have to wait until you can try throwing a shoe again next year.
I hope you enjoyed this glimpse of the Prague Christmas Market at the Old Town Square. It was my personal favourite in the city and my favourite Christmas tree we saw in Europe. What did you think of this market? Would you rank it in the top 10 in the world?

MY VLOGMAS 2017 SERIES
This December I’m doing Vlogmas on my channel! Vlogmas is usually where you daily vlog each day of December leading up to Christmas. I’m doing my own version where I’ll upload new videos three times per week on my regular schedule (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and each ‘episode’ will be Christmas themed from my travels in Europe! I’ll be exploring Christmas markets - and trying all the special foods - in 6 different countries and learning about unique and sometimes crazy-sounding Christmas traditions. I absolutely love this time of year. I’m looking forward to experiencing all the different ways people celebrate and sharing it with you.
