These cities are actually not that similar despite being close. By the mid 1800s Vienna's population was above a million, Buda and Pest combined (it was not even a unified city back then) was around 100k. It was a very provincial place compared to Vienna which was an imperial capital. On the other hand there were few places in the world that had such a rapid development later on (mostly in the US) as by the early 20th century the population was above a million, so almost ten times the size in a few decades.
As of today Vienna is like half a century ahead in infrastructure, it is a lot more modern city.
Prague I never visited and don't know much about other than being a large industrial hub. I think the area of the modern Czech Republic was a very peaceful place in history compared to Hungary and a lot of countries so you can find really old architecture all over the place. I assume Prague is similar to Vienna in the aspect of having a much more gradual development over time.

Budapest mogs both simply for its riverine architecture. Vienna is out of the question, and like Budapest, Prague has a nice riverside boulevards too but Vltava isn't Danube. Budapest's Danube is mighty, wide, deep, its bridges are top notch. And omfg, that parliament building.

Prague's way too cameral and tight. If Charles IV was living in the 1880s/1900s I'm sure he'd be jealous of Budapest. To think that Hungary was just a kingdom (well, within the A-H empire, but still), yet it had such an imperial-looking capital.
