Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed provided to the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed.

In addition, you may bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, a video camera and their chargers, and spare memory cards. In the winter season, we recommend clothing that allows comfortable movement and keeps you warm.

FOOD CULTURE

When German food culture is mentioned, cakes, potatoes, and of course beer come to mind first. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetable dishes, the variety of beer and wine is also quite extensive. 

The flavors and ingredients in Austrian cuisine have largely been inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its best-known dish is schnitzel, and meat dishes are predominant. 

Czech cuisine has been influenced by all neighboring countries and is a complete Central European synthesis. 

Hungarian cuisine, considered among the world’s most important cuisines, is quite colorful and rich. Meat dishes are common, and freshly cut homemade pasta is also an important element of the cuisine. “Goulash,” considered the Hungarian national dish, is one of the best-known delicacies. 

SHOPPING

There are shopping opportunities in shopping centers located in city centers and from small stalls selling souvenirs.
