Hello guys!

Next year I am going to study abroad for a year and the choice of city has been quite difficult. I want a capital city in central Europe which would allow me to explore Central/Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Romenia...).

I thought about:
- Vienna
- Bratislava,
- Ljubjana,
- Budapest.

What your opinion? Any of these? Another one?

Thanks a lot* Reply to this

Well, Budapest is in the middle of all those countries, so I think that's your best bet. Its a nice enough city, it gets incredibly humid in summer though (moreso than hotter cities). Vienna wouldn't be bad but its a lot more expensive than the rest. The other two are very small for capital cities, and you might easily get bored of them quickly. I might consider Zagreb rather than Ljubljana. Reply to this
