Budapest · Hungary
Explore Budapest in four geographically sensible days, with time for its major sights, a thermal bath, the Danube and plenty of Hungarian food.

Only a short train ride from Shanghai, Hangzhou combines West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Longjing tea and historic streets into an easy city break or day trip.

Four days in Shanghai, from the Bund and Yu Garden to Zhujiajiao, Tongli and Suzhou. This is the first-time itinerary I’d actually recommend.
