Which one should I go to for a 3-4 day week-end in your opinion ? from FranceI like a good nightlife as well
>>2905132I might be biased because I'm a polack, but I find Krakow to be by far the best out of these. I liked Prague too, but was extremely disappointed by Budapest (at least I brought back a lot of amazing Tokaji wine for cheap).And Vienna is pic related.
>>29051323 of those are Eastern Europe
>>2905148Literally none of them areEastern Europe doesn't even mean shit
>>2905150"Central Europe" is fake made up bullshit invented by coping easterners to disassociate with their Soviet past, but the shared culture and history is undeniable. If you're Slav or Gypsy, you're undeniably eastern. It would be like if Virginia started calling itself "east-central US" to try and deny its southerness.
>>2905148And the other is a pozzed Muslim shithole
>>2905152amerishart take
>>2905152>>2905181Hungary is not a slavic country
>>2905215It's facts >>2905339It's gypsy though, just like Romania. They share a similar history
>>2905132budapest>krakow>prague=vienna
Budapest.Krakow nightlife is just bars and the town is small compared to the other cities. Also British stag parties.Prague has even more way too many stag parties and drunk British people ruining the atmosphere, too many tourists especially desperate male groups in general. You'd have to really know some locals who take you with them.Vienna has some nightlife but it's not reliably good and it's not impressive or creative. Low energy.But Budapest has that buzzing wild nightlife you can feel when going out in the evening, it's very alive. Yes there's alot of tourists but it doesn't have the Disneyland vibe of prague instead it's still very local and partly gritty in a good way.
Not Vienna. It's kind of boring and overpriced. Prague has the most to do, but it is touristy at night. I like the touristy bars because I like meeting people from all over and making friends. Budapest has more of a locals vibe. It's also easier to pick up a real chick there who isn't a hooker.
>>2905132All 4 are incredible, but if I had to pick one then it'd be Budapest
>>2905152>fake made up bullshit invented by coping easterners to disassociate with their Soviet pastdumb amerishart take. "Central Europe" was a term heavily used in the 19th Century to describe a lot of smaller states between France and the Russian Empire, that is, what came out of the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire.
>>2905152>>2905351It's factually incorrect and indeed an amerishart take. Mitteleuropa is a term invented by the Prussians to describe the area they wanted to put under their influence.
>>2905611>>2905632>Seething about America for no reason out of nowhere Lol okay
>>2905632>term invented by the Prussians to describe the area they wanted to put under their influence.So you admit it's fake made up bullshit created for propaganda
>>2905725It is not the "gotcha" you think it is and whether it's a sensible geographical and cultural term or just Bismarck's propaganda catching on is besides the point. The point is >>2905152 is completely wrong and applying the wrong motives to the wrong people at the wrong time in history, along with the million other retards who keep butting in to spout the exact same shit like clockwork every single time the term comes up somewhere.
>>2905725>So you admit it's fake made up bullshit created for propagandaas opposed to the distinction between eastern and western Europe, which is an absolute and timeless truth which transparently represents the underlying and natural order of the world
>>2905132gonna say Budapest. the best social life, great architecture, exotic enough to be interesting, not too expensive. easy to get drugs. lots of random side quests like thermal baths to do if you get bored
>>2905132Prague
Haven't been to Krakow. All of the other 3 are very nice. I always do Vienna and a train to Budapest. Love those cities.
>>2905132Mumbai should be listed here too. It could be mistaken as a European city.
>>2905132>Pilsen > Prague>Dresden > Munich>Krakow can stay>Salzburg > Vienna
>>2905152Kek, look at them seethe.Western Europe is Germany, Austria, France, Italy and the various smaller states squeezed between. Then you have Sandinavia and the Baltics. And everything else is Eastern Europe.I don't understand why they still struggle with the inferiority complex, a lot of Eastern Europe is doing great atm, especially Poland
>>2905215More like a "any European west of Berlin" take lmao. Konrad Adenauer already thought Berlin itself was practically part of barbaric Asia
>>2914311>literal who oh no! some irrelevant jew said so! must be true!
>>2914258People travel to see and do things. The alternatives you listed have like a day's worth of stuff to do. They're better as day trips, whereas the big cities are better as a base
>>2905152>It would be like if Virginia started calling itself "east-central US" to try and deny its southernessThe funny thing is that this actually happens. Lots of Virginians consider the commonwealth Mid Atlantic instead of Southern, despite it being the birthplace of what we consider to be Southern culture and hosting the capital of the Confederacy.
>>2914310People find it irritating because it discards centuries of history to hyperfocus on what three old fucks had bartered in Yalta 70 years ago, the outcome of which everyone hates to this day. Culturally and politically the split in the East went along the Catholic/Orthodox line, but the way it's typically used "Eastern Europe" is basically saying "Warsaw Pact" like it's still the 60s but disguising it as a geographic term.
>>2914310Eastern Europe is the Russian sphere of influence. Only Belarus and Ukraine currently fall into the Russosphere. All the other countries have aligned with Brussels, hence they are no longer Eastern European per se.
>>2914310Spain and Portugal are not Western Europe? The countries that literally built the first european empires, discovered half the world and spread christianism, and they are not Western Europe?Also, Germany historically considered itself Central Europe, and keep in mind that until 1918 Germany itself spread up into the baltics.
>>2914644Your post is about 15 years out of date. Ukraine chose Europe, not russia.
>>2914622>People find it irritating because it discards centuries of historySo I'm supposed to ignore the centuries of historical and cultural similarities between Poles, Czechs, Russians, and Ukrainians? They have more in common with each other than they do with germans. >>2914644This is a moronic way of looking at things. So Europe is now part of America and Africa is now part of China?
>>2914710>Poles, Czechs, Russians, and Ukrainians? They have more in common with each other than they do with germansI've got the popcorn ready, do elaborate.
>>2914710Czechs are different cause they had a very big HRE and habsburg influence. Russia, Ukraine and Poland are mostly the same shit though, and I'm saying this as a Polak.I'm not saying this cause "communism", but because essentially the whole space between modern day Poland and western Russia was either part of PLC or the Russian Empire. It just happened this space used to be filled with pretty much anything you can imagine. Catholics, Orthodoxs, Jews, Muslims, Pagans. Then you had a big German commercial influence too.So you end up with places like Gdansk or St Petersburg, with huge German and Dutch influence even if they belonged to slavic kingdoms. Royalty wearing very oriental fashion. Some weird religious and ethnic mixes like orthodox churches styled after catholic ones or the other way around. There's a reason Esperanto came from there. >>2905139>was extremely disappointed by BudapestGenuinely how? If anything the city was too much for me, but I would never say I was disappointed. Every building there looks like a palace. It was crazy to me. My only complaint would be it's a bit dirty and trashy, but besides that it's easily in top 10 cities in the world to see.
>>2914715linguistics, and the mongol ruling of europe conquered there but not germany. dna tests show slavs and nords as almost identical though
>>2914737>and the mongol ruling of europe conquered there but not germanyWhatThe mongols never ruled neither Poland nor Czechia. They pillaged the area (including German marches and bits of Austria) and withdrew. The Khanates only controlled parts of the Rus. If anything it's an argument against lumping those countries together.
>>2914737>dna tests show slavs and nords as almost identical thoughAll the Rus Lands were founded by vikings, right?
>Eastern Europe shouldn't be lumped together just because of the USSR>but Central Europe should be lumped together because of the HapsburgsThis argument is stupid
>>2914575>not knowing who Adenauer isAnd you have the gall to accuse others of being Americans kek
>>2914622sorry broski but history changes things, that's kinda the whole point of it. The Iron Curtain division left long-term sociological and economic differences which are still relevant today, hence West and East have different meanings now than they did during the fucking Great Schism in 1054.
>>2914785So are we counting the old DDR part of Germany as Eastern Europe? Because The Iron Curtain has left tons of sociological and economical differences there, you can even see it in the character of the people.
>>2914906uh yeah Rheinlanders have done so since Prussia annexed them in the 1800s, see >>2914311Within German culture, "east of the Elbe" was already the signaling start of barbarity, eastern despotism, and backwards serfdom.
>>2914929I didn't know that, but at the same time, Dresden was "The Florence of the North", Leipzig was one of the most cultured cities, where Bach played the organ, Weimar was Goethe's hometown. These were all part of the DDR, how can you call them uncultured and barbaric?
>>2914995>how can you call them uncultured and barbaric?>These were all part of the DDR
>>2915004you do know that becoming a socialist hellhole was not something the people chose out of their own free will but rather it was imposed upon them through the oppressive weight of the russian military, right? You do know that eastern Germany was occupied by the soviets and that's why, oh what a coincidence, the region went socialist, right?
