Question

Katie · Answer

Széchenyi Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool: Pretty amazing. Passes don’t have to be expensive if you just want to soak for the day. Can get there on the metro!

Katie · Answer

Jewish Museum in Prague: Definitely worth an afternoon. There is such a rich and devastating history of Judaism in Prague. I found the Jewish Quarter to be incredible, especially when I was ready to see something non-imperial after all the castles.

It’s free to walk around the Jewish Quarter and there’s lots to see. But if you want to go inside the buildings, buying a ticket is worth it.

The Gardens of Schönbrunn Palace: Schönbrunn is basically a mini Versaille, except it's actually right in the city rather than a 45-minute drive away. While you have to pay entry to tour the palace, I actually prefer to stroll the gardens for free. My favorite route is up to the Marionette and over to the Palmenhaus. Easy to get to on the subway.
