Possible Eastern Europe Itinerary
 
I am flying into Budapest Friday Novemebr 18th. I will stay the next two nights at the Imperio Max hostel.
Sunday Morning I will leave up the river for Bratislava for one night in an undecided hostel.
Then, I'm off to Prague for two nights. Again, in a hostel
I will return to Budapest and stay Wednesday night.
Thursday around noon I hop on a plane for Helsinki. I will spend the late afternoon evening walking around.
The next morning I leave for Tallinn. I will stay Fri-Mon.
Monday morning I will go back to Helsinki.
Tuesday Morning I fly back to Budapest, where I will remain for the rest of my trip, possibly taking a day trip to the country side.
Feedback, advice, suggestions welcome.
I'm a 27 year old male. I want my trip to a balance of architecture, museums, and just a sprinkle of nightlife.
I can sleep when I get home!!

Personally I think you will be spending nearly all of your time in transit and will not have time to enjoy any of the places you will be.

I absolutely agree with julies.

Is this your first trip to Europe? Maybe you don't realize the travel time involved? How many nights do you have?

First of all, have you looked at a map? Why would you include Helsinki and Tallin?

You are young so you have plenty of time to explore the world. My advice would be to concentrate on Budapest and Prague. Also, Vienna, Austria would be a logical choice for a city to visit near Bratslavia.

Budapest and Prague are definitely worth at least 3 days each. Vienna is stunning although a bit more expensive than most of Europe.

You will enjoy your trip so much more if you take some time to actually drink in the places you are visiting. But then again, maybe you just want to get as many stamps as possible in your passport? :-)

Visite certainly town Mikulov. You will be smitten with the historical town and wine and viticulture capital of Czech. There is a lot of sigts. The historical Jewish Quarter, synagogue and the large Jewish Cemetery. The cemetery contains around four thousand gravestones. There is Unique Viticultural Exhibition in the baroque Chateau Mikulov. The display also includes the historical wine-presses and a remarkable vat from 1643 in the Chateau cellar. When I tell you that a craftsman and his three assistants worked on it for 38 weeks to finish it, you will not be surprised by its.noteworthy capacity - 101,600 litres.
Very seductive chance is to explore viticulture and wine in small wine-cellars of mikulover wine-growers, taste local wines. There are the wine cellars located in the limestone caves. You have my invitation to taste of my wines in my limestone cellar.
Near from Mikulov is Lednice-Valtice Area, the large-scale landscape park protected by UNESCO.
You can finde more information and photos from Mikulov and its surrounding on web-site www.mikulov.cz. Mikulov is 100 km from Bratislava, 70 km from Viena. You can get to Mikulov by car or by train from Bratislava
