Budapest is about 2 hours from Vienna which is about 4 hours from prague. Train may be a good option as well.

+1 just maybe worth it to look into the fancier train. We got stuck in a cabin with a smelly guy for 2 hours on the train from Budapest to Vienna. There’s a bus that goes as well which is cheaper, but takes longer

Ya i think I splurged on the fancier class at the time.

Hey guys! Need some noob advice. Before the merger I bought a 7 night cert at a cat 8 which I attached to domes of elouda ( as suggested by Dan on DDMS) unfortunately I won't be able to make it there. But I still want to take advantage and rebook at another nice hotel (around November time and not too far from NYC ) before the prices go up in March. I thought of St Regis Miami but I since I've been there already I want to try a new place/state and maybe even new country. Anyone have any suggestions on a top tier hotel with nice weather in Nov? I know it's a broad questions but any advice/leads would be much appreciated.

How come? If I look at the domes hotel now it's 60k a night. Shouldn't I be allowed to book hotels worth up to 60k?

Ahhhhh that stinks!! But thaanks for the reply!!
I guess my next question would be- which cat 6 hotel/place is recommended during Nov time for a week or so to book now before the prices go up in March

travellove · « **Reply #5374 on:** March 05, 2019, 04:58:50 PM »

Will be in vienna in May iyh. I have 2 days to spend in Europe before Vienna. Have already been to Prague and Budapest. What would you suggest? Thanks

Salzburg sounds like a good idea. What is there to do in Bratislava (besides the cemetary)?

Any other ideas besides these 2?

Croatia or krokaw

Sorry for my delayed response. Is it interesting to go to Croatia for 2 days? I was told by someone that was there that if I don"t have at least 5 days I shouldn't bother going to Croatia. Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks.

Croatia has a lot to do, a lot of different areas. While 2 days is definitely not enough to cover everything, you can definitely pick one area and do a whole lot. The 2 most popular spots are Split and Dubrovnik, go to one of them and you'll have a great time.
I'm happy to help if you have more questions.

ludmila · « **Reply #5376 on:** March 05, 2019, 09:16:19 PM »

Was in Dubrovnik a few years back, had a great time, I heard Split is nice too, hope to make it there sometime.

I read your TR back then, highly recommended for anyone going there.

Tons of timeshares there and they often rent by the night. I'd check the Chase travel portal to use URs.
