Do a review for us phil when you get back, with costs & how easy it is, this sounds ace.
Don't anticipate any problems. Booked hotels nearby train stations where possible to cut down on hassle.
Friday - fly to Munich West with Ryanair,
£10 Bayern Munich v Freiburg at night
€65 each (a bit steep, could've probably got cheaper had we been a bit smarter, but its not like your gonna do that kinda thing too often eh? Theres a shuttle bus from Munich West to Munich for about
€20. Takes about an hour and a half to get into Munich, but I'm quite happy to do the transfer as it'll all be fresh scenery out the window.
Staying with a College pal who has lived in Munich since 2001, so no accomodation costs, although we are paying for his match ticket and plan to take him an the missus out for dinner on Saturday. I think a 3 day 2 person pass for the entire transport system costs something like
€23, which will also get us to the airport to fly to Vienna.
Sunday - fly to Vienna
£45 Had a room booked near the train station that leaves for Budapest for £42 a night between the two of us, but we've since changed to one about twice the price pretty much across the road from the train station to make life even easier as we want to get up and get to the new places by midday when we travel.
Tuesday - train to Budapest
€30 (i believe) Decent looking hotel right beside train station again, £35 a night between the two of us. Money goes a bit further in Budapest, if your not scrimping you could get a really nice gaff for about £100 a night. Gonna spend the first afternoon at the Terror House museum, then the following day doing the tourist bus thing.
Thursday - train to Bratislava
€30 Hotel we booked here is
£42 for the night. Looks total dodge, but gets a decent write up. Some massive communist era hotel, which hasn't changed much since the 70s. Popular with stag dos. Pretty much the cheapest we could find. Bratislava hotels are dearer than I thought they would be. Quite happy to have a cheap hotel as I'm sure money will be a bit thin by the end of the week.
Friday - fly home
£25
Since time is limited, probably going to do open top bus tours round Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava, hop on hop off efforts. Have a bit more time in Munich as the flight to Vienna on the Sunday isn't till around 8pm. Munich looks more fun on foot anyway. Sausage fest.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be skint at the end of the week, but all in its not bad considering I get to take in a Bundesliga game and experience 4 countries i've never been to before.
