It’s now hard to believe, but all of the places above, and many more were visited in less than two days. It’s been intense, yes.

It’s only € 5.70 and it allows you to travel with all trams, busses and metro within 24 hours from the first ride. Don’t forget to stamp it as soon as you’re on board.

Hungary is waiting for us. We’re going to the Wien Meidling station where we can take a train to Budapest.
