this is the time we got locked in a dungeon
Though our Vienna recaps are slowly coming to an end, we still have one story left to share. It’s a harrowing tale…one of terror, loss, and definite possibilities for ghost sightings. It’s the time we got locked in a dungeon. And listen, we didn’t just get locked in any dungeon. That would have been terrifying enough. But no, we got locked in the supremely CREEPY dungeon of our historic Viennese apartment building. We’ve gone back and forth on how to tell this story–which has since been referred to only as “the incident.” Some of us still haven’t fully healed from…

where to sleep in prague: a somewhat comprehensive guide
Like most of our #LTeuropa adventure, we split up our stay in Prague between two different types of accommodations. We started in a luxury hotel and ended with an apartment stay. This pretty much makes us experts on where to sleep in Prague, right? Well, experts or not, we’ve got you covered — whether you prefer five-star hotels or sticking to budget-friendly room shares. Et voila! Live like a queen. As our beloved city guide, Milos, confirmed — there’s no better luxury hotel in Prague than the Four Seasons. Having visited the Four Season Gresham Palace in Budapest at the beginning…

#lteuropa bucket list takedown: travel to prague
After seven full days in Vienna spent conquering our #LTeuropa bucket list, it was time to bid adieu to Austria and board a train to Prague. Having never been to Central or Eastern Europe, we knew we wanted to see as many cities as we could during our two week stay, and the trip from Vienna to Prague seemed like an easy way to end our #LTeuropa itinerary. Easy? Perhaps. We took an early morning train and didn’t have to switch trains or routes anywhere along the journey. Buuut enjoyable it was not, thanks to pretty massive hangovers from our…

#lteuropa bucket list takedown: throw an american barbecue
When we decided to hunker down in Vienna for a full seven days–which is a lot of time to stay in one place in the Lazy Travelers’ universe–we knew if we didn’t come up with a list of things to occupy ourselves, we’d most likely spend our days and nights drinking too much wine and eating too many carbs. After racking our brains, want to know what we came up with first? Throw a party at our apartment so other people could join us drinking too much wine and eating too many carbs. Turns out this party was meant to…

#lteuropa bucket list takedown: salzburg & hallstatt
There’s no question: our #LTeuropa reunion of love went way, way too fast. This is why, with only a few days left in our Viennese apartment, we made an executive decision regarding the bucket list: We would visit Salzburg and Hallstatt in one day. Though we had originally planned to dedicate two days to daytrips outside of the city, we just enjoyed the slow-paced process of eating and drinking our way through Vienna far too much. This meant that we were running out of time before our departure for Prague, and needed to consolidate. After briefly researching car rentals (i.e.…
