Eastern Europe: Hungary & Croatia

[bastling]

Hey folks!

I'll be going with 3 others this summer for 14/15 days in Europe. My boyfriend's sister got an internship for a month in Cadiz, Spain -- and I've been invited on their family trip afterwards.

I spent a year in Denmark from June 1999- June 2000, and we did a whirlwind 18-day tour before I left. Now, this trip looks to be a whirlwind 14/15 day trip -- they just want to see as much as possible.

We will be in Budapest, Hungary & Zagreb, Croatia in early August. I've never been to either of these places, and we'll have a day in each. I'm completely stuck as to what to see or do in either of them. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks so much,
Darcey

Budapest is an incredible city, certainly one of my favourite places.

For 1 day, I'd try and see as much as you can by doing a Bike tour or something. I took a tour with www.yellowzebrabikes.com and managed to see the vast majority of the city in 5 hours or so, including riding up to the Castle from the Danube - this absolutely killed everyone, as it was about 33c that day.
