    PRAGUE
    + Very cheap food and drink, good beer, all kinds of food
    + Easy to get around (physically), you can see most of the city on foot if you want because it isn't all that big
    + Architecture, sculpture well worth gawking at
    – Tourists and tourist-aimed businesses *everywhere* in Old and Lesser Town (want to know how many metres away the nearest McDonald's or KFC is? There are signs.)
    – Difficult to get around (navigationally) as street signs are few and far between in Old and Lesser Town

    Wish I'd gotten to the hills west of the river.

    Stayed at the Ibis Praha Wenceslas Square, and would recommend it (clean, modern, no hassles, far enough from the tourists but close enough to walk).

    VIENNA
    + Easy to get around by walking or subway
    + You could spend a week just at the Museumsquartier (I almost splooshed walking into the Kunsthistorisches Museum)
    + Architecture and sculpture more impressive than Prague (better preserved, integrated with modern use)
    + Interesting local graffiti style (wish I'd taken video from the train ride in)
    + Good parks and public spaces for hanging out
    – Same problem with street signs
    – City seems to shut down early on Saturdays and entirely on Sundays

    Didn't make it to the Danube, but I'll go next time because the place is awesome and I'd move there tomorrow if I could.

    Stayed at the Westbahn Hotel and would recommend against it (old, dirty, crappy over all)
