Booked trip to Prague and Budapest
DH and I could not decide where we wanted to go on vacation during the week between Christmas and New Years and after I saw MrsPorkChop's post about Budapest, I decided that I wanted to go there!!
We are flying into Budapest and staying there for 4 days, 3 nights and then will be taking the train (though it's long!) to Prague and staying there for 3 nights  We are staying at the Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal in Budapest and the K&K Hotel Central in Prague.
I am so excited because I have not been to either city
Does anyone have any recommendations for "must see" things to do or great restaurants?

Re: Booked trip to Prague and Budapest
When I went to Prague we went to Terezin, which is an old WWII ghetto / concentration camp. It was a great day trip about an hour away from Prague. Please please make sure there is a bus back and get the time! We got stuck there at night in the middle of November (it was cold!). We finally got a taxi out of there (for 25 Euros), but no one spoke English in the town. Thank god we knew some German b/c that helped us.
Charles Bridge is beautiful, but watch out for all the tourist cafes by there. I went to this one restaurant and it was great, but I don't remember the name, so sorry.

Right now, we are planning on take a train. Unfortunately, it's about a 7 hour train ride so we lose most of a day. I am actually looking to see if we can get any cheap flights between the 2 cities.

Why not do an overnight train? Then you save on hotel too. The first class sleepers are pretty cheap over there.
Im all for a cheap flight though, too. DH loves trains, I love cheap flights

We just did MAdrid and Lisbon in April.. the overnight train between those cities was the WORST train Ive ever been on. I didnt sleep a wink because it was so violent. Id take a $60 flight in a heartbeat!
