Budapest

Budapest, the Hungarian capital, is perched on the ultra-picturesque banks of the storied Danube River. Frommer’s calls the city “architecturally stunning,” lauding the grandeur of the Royal Palace and Gellért thermal baths. Perhaps the best way to experience Budapest is to stroll the city’s grand boulevards on your own.

• Soak in the baths: Mineral-rich waters run underneath the city; experience their healing powers at any of the abundant bathhouses, such as Széchenyi and Rudas Thermal Baths.
• Fisherman’s Bastion: Take in views of the city from the Buda side of the Danube River at this gorgeous neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque structure.
• Local flavor: Make sure to try chicken paprikash (paprika chicken) and palacsinta (crepes filled with meat and spices) as they’re local specialties.

Prague

Prague is nicknamed the City of a Thousand Spires for its multitude of church and palace towers rising high above the Vltava River. The best way to see that waterway is from the Charles Bridge, which was built in the 14th century. You can get a panoramic view of the city from the Petrin Lookout Tower, a hilltop structure that looks like a mini Eiffel Tower. From the very top, you can sometimes see the summit of the Czech Republic’s tallest mountain.

• Dancing House: One of the city’s most distinctive structures, it’s built in the deconstructivist style and is meant to resemble two people dancing.
• Prague Castle—the largest ancient castle in the world—is home to some of the Czech Republic’s most valued treasures, such as the Bohemian crown jewels.
• Grab a beer at the Prague Beer Museum. It’s just as popular with locals as with tourists and has more than 30 Czech brews on tap.
