As you might expect from its founding in the 13th century and acting as the first capital of Moravia, Olomouc has many old buildings.

Something I didn’t know before I went to Brno is that it has a large enough Vietnamese immigrant population that there’s a Little Saigon east of city center. So yeah, you can find decent Vietnamese food here. Surprise! I also had my epic roasted pork knee experience in Brno.

Having previously served as the second capital of Moravia and acting as the administrative center of the South Moravia Region, Brno has some interesting buildings in and around its center. The most visited sight is the Špilberk Castle, but what else is available to explore?

Yes, Wiener schnitzel is from Vienna, but what else should you be having while visiting the capital of Austria? And did you realize that Wiener schnitzel is specifically made from veal, not pork or chicken? More exciting Wiener food coverage if you keep reading!

So many attractions await your attention in Vienna, so you must pick and choose. Interestingly, I didn’t go to any composers’ homes because I’d heard that they are not great as museums. Instead, I made the most of the first weekend of September and some light rain.

During the Soviet Era, Hungary’s traditional cuisine was neglected, including its ancient species of pigs and cows, and its wine. In more recent years, there’s been a revival, which is fortunate for locals and visitors alike.

Having been a strategic location throughout history, Belgrade has seen over 115 wars and been destroyed more than 40 times. But because of its confluence of cultures, Serbian food is a mix of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Central European cuisines. And what a mix it is!
