There are plenty of options for a respite from city life since you can get practically anywhere in Hungary in under three hours. The charming art-filled town of Szentendre is just a short train ride from Budapest and makes for a perfect half-day or day trip. Spend a day visiting wineries and exploring old cellar rows in Etyek, just a 45-minute drive from Budapest. To dig even deeper into Hungary’s wine culture, spend a few days in Villány, Tokaj, or Eger. Farther afield, Pécs, close to the Croatian border, offers enough museums and culture to fill several days. During the summer, practically all of Hungary heads to Lake Balaton to swim in the shallow water of one of Europe’s largest lakes.

Amsterdam brims with iconic sights, and walking and cycling along the canals are not only top experiences, but are also the best ways to get around. The city is home to numerous notable museums, many of which are conveniently gathered on the Museumplein. You can view some of the world’s great paintings at the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. More modern art and design are displayed at the Stedelijk Museum and new Moco Museum. The Anne Frank House, where you can visit the secret annex she and her family hid in during the Nazi occupation, is a moving experience. In the evening, peek into the Red Light District, one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful and historic neighborhoods, then head to a café for a local beer.
