Anyone ever been to Prague?
Who knows? I certainly never will. I'm excited about the Caffe Nero (which is going in across the street from a Starbucks) because Caffe Nero sells good tea!!! (It better, it is a London based company. I first discovered it when I traveled to the UK in 2013.) I hate coffee. Starbucks only serves 2 things I like, hot chocolate and passionfruit iced tea. Their hot tea is substandard.
I wonder if the frequent buyers card I picked up the last time I visited London will be good at my local Caffe Nero. I'll have to find out.
Pest was larger. Buda seemed a bit more touristy, IIRC. Very hilly. Our Airbnb was off the beaten path in the Pest side, and was in the middle of a giant beer garden with different craft beer and chocolate bars. Best trip I've ever taken.
Would love to hear Luburch's opinion.
I certainly spent more time on the Pest side. It felt a little easier to get lost and absorb the culture there. Buda felt more open, but more crowded as well. So I'd lean Buda over Pest.
Regarding travel OPK, I didn't venture outside of the city much so I walked everywhere and didn't have any issues. I'm also comfortable walking 2-3 miles at a time and I know that doesn't work for everyone.
Thanks. I walk about 8 miles a day every Saturday and then on Sunday so walking is no issue. Mainly thinking of getting to/from the train station; there is no Uber and I understand it the taxi drivers have a Vegas-like ability to take the long way around. Thankfully, Apple Maps allows you to pick a public transportation option on its directions which works really well.
You're probably downloading the American version of the app. You need to download the version that sounds like this:

OPK, public transportation in Budapest is pretty good. We only needed a taxi from the airport. On the way back to the airport we had already mastered the bus/tram system. We used Google maps to figure out how to navigate the system.
The first few days we walked 8-10 miles per day (according to my wife's phone). Might not be a bad idea to walk a lot anyway. The beer is so cheap you will need to burn the extra calories!
