It was my second semester living in Dublin and my friends and I pretty much had traveling down to a science. We collectively decided that we wanted to visit three countries in one week. Originally, we were just going to go to Italy for the week but we decided that taking a trip from Budapest to Vienna to Prague would be much more exciting. We had to plan this trip carefully as it was the first time we were traveling to more than one country for the week. Our first stop was Budapest were we enjoyed walking around the city and looking at the bright lights of the Budapest Parliament at night. We ate fantastic food at a Hungarian market and visited the ruin bars at night. Leaving Hungary our next stop was Vienna. We hopped on a bus and the next thing we knew we were in Austria. Vienna was our quickest stop out of the whole trip as we were only there for four hours. Within those four hours we got to experience a lot of the city and tried to make the most out of it. First stop was stopping in a beautiful small Austrian cafe and trying their signature dishes. Next was shopping around the city centre and getting souvenirs for friends and family. As fast as we got off the bus we had to get on a train to our final destination- Prague. Our train arrived in Prague around midnight, we quickly hailed a taxi to our Airbnb and slept immediately as we got there. The next morning after a long deserved rest we joked about how we went to three countries in the span of 24 hours. That is the beauty of studying abroad, we chose our destinations and have the freedom to travel virtually anywhere we desire. Every morning in Prague we would stop by our new favourite coffee shop and grab some Chai Lattes then be off with our day. We had no specific things we wanted to do in Prague planned for the day so we just wandered around and stumbled upon attractions. We went to the famous John Lennon wall and the Clock tower and they were truly a sight to see. Overall we had a fantastic time and think we made the most out of our break by visiting as many places as we could.
