Is it prudent to drive a car to, in Budapest ... parking .... toll road .... burglary (AVIS always gives my nice cars, have AVIS First/Presidents Club)?
We have 5 nights: Vienna 2 or 3, Budapest 2 or 3. In other cities we always had a rental car, even in hell cities like Mexico City. But sometimes it's real pain to have a car, also in Vienna ... terrible parking situation, we always had to buy such "parking vouchers" and so on. Would you really recommend a car?
Your postings are so helpful that we can easily get by train to BUD. With a car we could make a side trip to Bratislava, but is it worth?
