❤️ Oh Salzburg! The love is real. And what a t ❤️ Oh Salzburg! The love is real. And what a treat it was to get a taste for this Central European city by saying yes to the optional @travelmarveltours Enhance Your Journey Salzburg Sights experience.

I love the rhythm of these off-ship days, where the local guides take you on a walking tour, giving you a knowledgeable overview of a city before giving you the freedom to then go and explore for yourself.

It was Sunday on my visit and that meant the shops were closed. This was sad for my ongoing “research” into what fashion trends Europeans are embracing this season but good for my bank balance!

Holiday your way. Yes, YOU get to choose how you e Holiday your way. Yes, YOU get to choose how you experience a @travelmarveltours river cruise. Maybe you’d like to do all the organised experiences? Maybe when stopped in a town or a city, you’d like to explore at your own pace? Maybe you’d like to stay on board and relax as you sail through incredible scenery?

Me? I like to mix it up. I like having that flexibility to wander a city and do a little bit of shopping (“researching” in store what fashion trends will be seeing next season is my idea of fun!) but I also love chilling on board, especially after a huge day of exploring.

Where I visited in Vienna:

📍Schönbrunn Christmas Market
📍Mariahilfer Strasse (shopping street)
📍The Hofburg Palace and surrounding buildings
📍Cafe Central 
📍The Graben, Kohlmarkt, Kärntner Straße and The Golden Quarter (luxury and brand shopping)
📍Stephansplatz Christmas Markets

This is what premium European river cruising life This is what premium European river cruising life looks like on board @travelmarveltours Capella. From the moment I stepped on board this contemporary river ship, it’s felt so easy. 

What I love:

⭐️ Watching the countryside change from my French Balcony Suite window.
⭐️ Every staff member appears to know what I want before I even do. 
⭐️ Unpacking just once for the week makes me feel settled, even though during that time I’ll travel through three different countries.
⭐️ All meals on board are included and menus include dishes that take inspiration from the countries we’re traveling through. 
⭐️ There are 150 people on board but with so many spaces in which to sit and relax, it never feels crowded.

Beautiful Budapest. What a delight to briefly get Beautiful Budapest. What a delight to briefly get to know you. A taster if you will. Because, yes I’ll be back.

Save this if you’re someone who loves to wander a city, shop a little and try the local food.

Where to stay: I was hosted by @travelmarveltours at the Park Plaza before heading on board the Travelmarvel Capella river ship. The location couldn’t be better. Opening the window to see the House of Parliament across the Danube River was a delight morning until evening. And it was a short pre-sunrise walk up the hill behind the hotel to the Fisherman’s Bastian.

A 20 minute walk across the Szechenyi Chain Bridge had me shopping in Fashion Street (do check out Budapest designer @nanushka) and sitting down at Cafe Gerbeaud for Hungarian coffee and cake culture. 

I then continued on walking to the Jewish quarter (about 30 minutes) where I found the recommended Ruin bars and Hungarian restaurant Getto Gulyas. 

It felt safe walking by myself during the day. I booked Taxis via the Uber app to return to the hotel after dark and to get to and from the Szechenyi Thermal Bath.
