Hi Folks - Two questions -
1) With 8 days on the ground - how would you recommend we split our time between the two cities. I am currently thinking 5 days in Vienna + 3 in Prague
2) Are there any can't miss day trips from either city (we don't plan on renting a car - so public transport access would be necessary).
Thanks, Read More

Would prefer to stay in only 2 or 3 places for overnights, however, not a different place every night. We expect we'll rent a car, so won't be limited to o... Read More
