Took a week off in Aug 2013 to visit Vienna and Prague. We (me, Jashmini
and Praful) boarded an overnight train from Trieste to Vienna. Reached
next morning and ended up in a youth hostel which gave us the worst
hosteling experience. We stayed in Vienna for two days went to the
famous Castle and its garden and also the zoo. Nothing new was there in
the city.. it is a normal European city with all the buildings and
churches of same architecture. A must do is to eat Sacher in Vienna, it
was awesome!
On the third day we reached the bus station of Vienna to get a bus to Prague but there was a bus late in the evening and we did not want to spend another day in Vienna so we decided to have a day trip to Bratislava.
Bratislava on the other hand was something different from the usual European city, we could see the striking difference between western and eastern city. The city gave me a feeling of being poorer and unorganized with a typical Soviet city landscape.

Later in the evening we caught the bus to Prague, crossing the beautiful
green lands of Czech we reached Prague. We were tired by that time so
we just called the day off. Next morning we started our sight-seeing and
Prague became one of my favorite tourist destinations. It is full of
beautifully arched buildings and cathedrals, all of them with different
architecture. We also enjoyed the Gay Parade happening during the period
of our stay.
There are many things that I did not do like the famous pub-crawl and
the night club with 5 stories. I would love to go again and get wasted
there.

From Prague we came back to Vienna and boarded the train further back to Trieste with a hope of going back to Prague again.
