Day 1 - 1 Jul 2017
Courtyard by Marriott Berlin City Center
Content: My family and I flew in to Berlin and checked into our hotel. It was a perfect location, right in the city centre and the rooms were quite spacious! We had a really long flight so we ate at the restaurant in our hotel and rested for a big day of sightseeing the next day!
Location: Berlin
Day 2 - 2 Jul 2017
Gendarmenmarkt
Content: We took a tour bus around Berlin which was the fastest way to see the city in such a short span of time! I will be inserting photos of my favourite spots that you should definitely visit when you’re in Berlin. First come the Gendarmenmarkt, which encompasses three historic landmark buildings: the Konzerthaus, the French Cathedral (Französischer Dom), and the German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom). It’s beautiful in the day and even better during sunset.
Clubrestaurant am Wannsee im MYCvD
Content: We had a late lunch here, amazing local restaurant and great food!
Berlin Cathedral
Content: My favourite spot in Benin had to be this! The cathedral was so beautiful and has so much history behind it. You can even take photos across from the church with the mermaids, it’s such a pretty sight!
Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Content: These two points are right next to each other. I would recommend walking along the main road since you can pass by the TV centre and towards the memorial to the murdered Jews.
HASTY PASTRY
Content: Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s an affordable cafe style europe restaurant with great local food!
Location: Hlavní město Praha
Day 3 - 3 Jul 2017
Praha hl.n.
Content: We took a train to Prague at 10am and reached there at around 2pm!
Hotel NH Collection Prague Carlo IV
Content: One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at! They have a spa downstairs which I immediately used to relax and unwind. I recommended this hotel to my friend as well when she visited Prague and she loved it!
Old Town Square
Content: We walked around the old town square and did some exploring but not too much as we booked another sightseeing tour for the next day. Had dinner at a local restaurant but the service wasn’t very good. Retired to the spa in our hotel again and then headed to bed.

Charles Bridge

Vltava
Content: I recommend taking a cruise by the river Vltava. It was very inexpensive and such a beautiful experience. We took the 1 hour tour on the boat.
Petrin Hill
Content: Later in the evening, our bus took us to the Pétrin Hill. Quite a trek up but the views are amazing, as you can see the best view of Prague from here.
Prague Astronomical Clock
Content: Next we made our way back down to the city centre and went to see the astronomical clock which rings every hour. It was still under construction when we went.
Hard Rock Cafe
Content: Enjoyed our dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Prague. We always love going here, especially on 4th of July!
Location: Budapest
Day 5 - 5 Jul 2017
Courtyard by Marriott Budapest City Center

Central Cafe and Restaurant 1887
Content: We had lunch at this amazing restaurant. It is a historic coffee house in Budapest, great food too!
Budapest Danube Boat Tour
Content: After lunch we roamed around the city before taking a sunset cruise across the river danube. I don’t even think the photos I’ve taken do Justin to how beautiful this was. 10/10 recommend! They offered dinner on the boat too.
Location: Budapest
Day 6 - 6 Jul 2017

St. Stephen's Basilica
Content: First stop was the basilica! His is the most important religious buildings in Hungary
Fisherman's Bastion
Content: We passed by the Danube river to make it to my favourite spot: the Fisherman’s bastion. Come here during sunset for the best aerial view of the city.
Belli di Mamma
Content: For lunch we went to this Mediterranean/ Italian restaurant and had some great food, I recommend booking in advance!
Heroes' Square
Content: After lunch we made our way all the way to the other side of budapest to see Hero’s square. If we had more time, we would have gone to the art galleries on either side of the hero square.
Budapest Airport
