How do I get around European cities?

Getting around most cities is simple thanks to Europe’s excellent transportation network. High-speed trains like the Eurostar and TGV make it easy to move between major destinations quickly and comfortably. If you’re watching your budget, long-distance buses are a solid option. They’re dependable, usually on time, and great for reaching smaller towns that trains don’t always connect to. River cruises are another stress-free way to explore, just unpack once and enjoy the changing scenery as you float from place to place.

Where can I find the hidden local spots without the tourist crowds?

Try heading off the usual route to places like Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. It’s a quiet medieval town with a riverside castle and winding cobblestone streets that feel frozen in time. Wroclaw in Poland is another favorite among TourRadar travelers, especially for its colorful old town and peaceful riverfront walks. Ljubljana in Slovenia also gets lots of love for its fairytale vibe. Expect a mix of hilltop castles, small cafés, and those unique dragon-adorned bridges that make the city feel truly one of a kind.

What cultural experiences should I look for?

Some of the most memorable cultural moments are also the simplest. In Vienna, you can join a Kaffeeklatsch at Vollpension, a café where older locals serve coffee and cake while swapping stories with travelers, it’s warm, personal, and unlike anything else. Budapest has traditional Hungarian folklore dinners with live music and dancing, which TourRadar travelers often call a highlight. In the Netherlands, hands-on demonstrations of cheese and clog making give you a feel for rural traditions in a way that’s both fun and interactive.

What local foods should I try?

Start in Vienna with a proper Wiener Schnitzel. It’s a thin veal cutlet, breaded and pan-fried until golden, and TourRadar travelers say it’s one of those dishes that lives up to the hype. In Budapest, goulash is the classic comfort food—a hearty beef stew with vegetables and just the right kick of paprika. And if you’re in Sarajevo, don’t miss Bosanski Cevapi. It’s made of grilled, seasoned meat served with flatbread and onions. Simple, satisfying, and perfect after a long day of exploring.
