Jet: I concur with rhw88 on Budapest. I had a wonderful time there 10 years ago, when the Communists were on their way out. I will never forget some of the images from that trip: the statues of Lenin being taken down in the public park; the East German Trabis, laden with possessions, traveling west, as we were heading east, the tour guide at the Parliament, who wasn't sure exactly how to give the tour given the political circumstances.

I had one of the finest dinners I have ever had anywhere at a little place called Kispipa Vendeglo. It had opened only recently, and dinner for 2 including a bottle of wine cost a total of $10 US.

I concur with essxjay about Vienna, a spectacular city. I think the public buildings in Vienna are among the most beautiful in the world. Much to do there, too.
