- Join us as we travel from Budapest, Hungary to Krakow, Poland on Flexibus as part of our Europe bus travel series. Having spent a few weeks in Kyrgyzstan we took a return flight back to Budapest, Hungary but only for a stopover.
Originally we had planned to travel around the Balkans but we quickly changed that to the Baltics after experiencing high temperatures in Budapest and realizing it would only get hotter if we headed further south. With this mind we settled on starting our journey north in Kraków, Poland.
Overall, the journey was comfortable and rather scenic especially as we crossed through Slovakia. Upon arriving, before we even considering checking in, we first had to grab some pierogi. Afterwards we ended up getting super lost trying to catch a local tram because of bad directions.
When we finally did arrive at our AirBNB we were in awe of how big and nice it was. Given our excitement we had to pop open a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Europe Bus Ride from Budapest, Hungary to Krakow, Poland travel vlog video transcript:
Well good morning good morning from Budapest. We are back from Kyrgyzstan. We really didn't vlog any of that because our flight was like at what six in the morning. Yeah. We were up at four. We were so drowsy and we just slept on both flights. Yeah, we were proper zombies. Yes. And we figured it was the exact same journey just back to here. Yeah. But yeah we are going to vlog today. We've made a very quick change of plans. Oh my gosh.
Haha. Originally we were going to go to the Balkans. Yes. And now we're going to the Baltics. Yes because we arrived here in Budapest and it was so hot we couldn't function. And we were just thinking like are we really going to go further south where the temperatures are like mid 30s and even going to be going up to 40s. We were like no that is not a good idea. Let's head north instead where it is a bit cooler.
Yeah, so it has been put on the backburner. We're definitely going to go in the late fall. Yes. But just not now. Anyways, today we are off to Krakow, Poland.
Alright, Flixbus again. Why flixbus?
Because it is cheap. It is cheaper than taking the train or flying. And how much were the tickets for this one?
We paid 11 Euros and it is a seven hour bus ride. That is not bad.
So the update is that we've arrived in Slovakia. I think we're somewhere in the middle. Yeah. And yeah I think we have about two and half or three hours left to reach Poland and cross the border.
And it has been a beautiful beautiful drive. Like Slovakia is man that is a country I'd like to explore more in the future. Mountains and forests.
Yes, lots of forests and just lots of quaint little towns. It looks really cool.
So I do like to know where we are. So we are in Ruzomberok. I probably butchered that fiercely. And we're on the way to Krakow.
And you know what? I think most travelers after like arriving to their destination are just like dead set on like getting right to their accommodations and checking in and whatever. But no not for us. We're hungry and so before we even think about going to our AirBNB we're going to find some food here.
Surprise surprise actually there is no surprise. What is the 1st thing that we're ordering in Poland? We're having Pierogi. Oh, of course.
We made it. We are on the 5th floor. Actually it took us a while to get here because we had been sent instructions and the two trams we were told to take. Yeah. One of them wasn't running at this time. Okay.
But we're here. We made it to the apartment. It is really cool. Like it is so cool.
Yeah, long day. Anyways, we've got wine in hand. We've got great adventures in Krakow so expect food reviews and a city guide and an apartment tour coming soon. Urgh.
Ciao from Krakow.
This is part of our Travel in Poland video series showcasing Polish food, Polish culture and Polish cuisine.

I would love to see you guys head to Africa.
We'd love to do more travel in Africa. So far we've only been to SA.
Poland is very beautiful.
It sure is!
5:30 I'm so proud of you, Sam. You were yelled at in a foreign country and yet you simply considered 'that was funny' and not making any further issue.
How Would Koreans REALLY Say That?! hehe yea he was cool
Thank you very much! Sometimes it is just best to handle it that way. Kind of like water off of your back. I guess it also helps that I didn't understand what she was staying to me ;)
Sam and Audrey, I visited Budapest and Krakow last August 2019, and had an absolute blast! In fact, I am planning to go back to both cities, as they had such an impression on me. Krakow was my favorite place in Europe! Before going, I really enjoyed watching your travel videos and they helped me so much to plan my trip. I love your work!
Thank you very much Andy! That is great to hear about your trip and plans to return. We'd love to revisit again someday as well.
It looks so beautiful, wow.
Thank you! We especially enjoyed the journey through Slovakia. Such beautiful forests and mountains. We'll have to plan some travel there in the future :)
Good work heading for food as soon as you got there. Totally sounds like us haha 😂 Really want to visit Poland. Looking forward to more food videos! - Thomas
Thanks Thomas! LOL, glad we're not the only ones with those priorities ;) We actually end up staying in Poland even longer than we expected so we've got lots of content coming out soon.
My boyfriend and me are doing the exact same thing in one week! :) We are off to Budapest in a week, staying there for 5 days and taking the flixbus to Krakow. Your videos are so helpful and now I'm even more excited for the trip :D
Greetings from Germany :)
So excited for Poland videos!! Such an under appreciated gorgeous country. Please film a lot! Love you guys.
Thank you! We're really excited to see more of the country :)
Im digging the beard Sam!! Can't wait to watch all your videos from Krakow! Been there twice ( my hubby is polish) and planning to go there for the holidays! Have fun!
Audrey's 'Oh my Gosh' after Sam said about experimenting with fasting made the video haha! Love the vlog - Budapest is gorgeous, would love to visit Poland someday. Hope you have an amazing time!
Thank you! Just the thought of Audrey skipping a meal makes her roll her eyes ;)
I liked this Video for a very special Reason. At the beginning you talked about how small your Apartment was but everything functional and good. Its the small things in Life we need to appreicate in order to enjoy the bigger Things. i used to live that way and it sort of payed off to me personaly. 👍
Thank you very much! I think sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the bigger is better mentality but to appreciate what you have is something worth remembering.
I love you two and I enjoy watching your travel videos go ahead with the good work :)
Thank you very much!
Good guide, Samuel. You seem more confident in your narration. Very professional. Good job! I really want to go to Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclau. Visit the camps, eat pierogies, and drink slivowitz!
Thank you very much Paul! Highly recommend Poland for affordability and great food.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Welcome, Samuel. If it doesn’t work with Audrey, you can get your own channel. You have much charisma. (Joke, Joke, it’s a Joke! just teasin ya both)
I'm off to Krakow end of August then Japan in November, Krakow is lovely. If you get a chance zakopane is a nice place to visit, you can ride the funicular up into the Tatra mountains. Happy travels, keep safe. Xx😊✈️🌍
Thank you! You have some very exciting plans coming up :)
Wow I can't wait to see more, and the apartment looks AMAZING 😉📸👍👍👍👍📸
Thank you very much! That is our next video :)
Great trip!!!...I hope you enjoyed your time. :)
Thank you! We're loving being back in Europe :)
I'm glad to see you back in my native country - I hope you enjoy it just as much as last time, as that was what drew me into your channel! Eat all the pierogi you can and I look forward to your future videos! :)
Thank you very much! We're very happy to be back and keen to explore more cities this time around :)
Great video guys. I'll be doing that same trip (on Flixbus too!) in about three weeks.
More adventures to you guys!!!😀
Thank you! We'll try our best.
Hope you enjoyed my town! It will be so nice to see it from a bit different perspective :) Can't wait to see other videos! :)
Thank you! We had an awesome time.
Amazing vlog as always 👍😊
Thank you!
Oh that's nice to hear you guys loved driving through Slovakia! Greetings from Canada!
Thank you! That bus ride made us realize we want to visit ASAP.
Thanks, Guys, really enjoy these videos. Glen
Thank you very much Glen :)
You ppl are living a life of your dreams, you show us how to make a career out of your passion and to discard old thinking of work as a labour.Both of you show us what marriage shld be like and you people have touched my life in more ways than you can think 😊
Thank you very much! We feel very fortunate to be able to do what we're doing right now.
When I knew your love story, I admire it. Hope that you will stay together till you both grow older. The couple that travels together stays together.
wow i've been watching your old vids and this is the first time i'm seeing a vid from 2017...That jump in video quality though :P
Thank you very much! Oh man, some of our old stuff is kind of cringe worthy ;)
Dude, you look great! Safe travels...
Thank you very much!
Hey, Im in Krakow too! :)
No way! That is cool. Where are you staying in the city? Unfortunately, we're several weeks behind on content so we've left but already miss the city.
I'm enjoying following you guys,get some rest.😀🇨🇦
Thank you very much!
11:00 "Szarlotka" - Polish apple pie, made with tart apples.
Ah, thank you for letting us know.
Cool
Thanks!
Audrey your Sam is a piece of work. The food around the 9 minute mark could have been a sheet of cardboard covered in clumpy gravy and Sam would have loved it after being on fast. LOL. You two are the best!
Thank you! LOL, this is so true. I would have ate just about anything...haha
I've done several two day fasts lately and I really feel great after them especially if I take care to not overeat afterwords. Thank you for sharing your travels.
Really love your content, I'm using your guides for Ljubljana, Budapest, Thailand and Malaysia to see if there's anything that I may missed in terms of things to do in those cities/countries.
Thank you very much! We're going to try and make as many guides in Poland now as possible :)
I LOVE YOUR ALL VIDEOS DEAR
Thank you!
You guys should try eating ruskie pierogi with soured milk/buttermilk (in Polsih Maślanka) coz that's so awesome and we do that here in Poland.
Ooooh, that sounds super tasty!
I've heard about Pierogi so much but never tried it. Think i will try and see if i can find it here in a restaurant in Melbourne.
Really hope you can try it! Would love to hear about your reaction :)
I'm doing ketosis and intermittent fasting, not much of the pierogi's but that apple pie :o I almost lost it!
I know the feeling! Oh, it can be very tempting.
In Lithuania in the western part of the country I suggest Nida on the
Neringa sandspit, I highly, highly recommend Neringa and the small
villages along its coast in general, most people take a quick 15min
ferry ride across from Klaipeda and bike down from the tip of the spit
down to Nida, It's really beautiful the whole spit is covered in Pine
forest and you can stop anywhere and it's only a few hundred meters from
the Baltic sea.
I also recommend Klaipeda city itself and Palanga which is just up the
coast. I recommend biking around Plateliai lake which is not really far
from the afforementioned locations (It seems like alot already but you
should know Lithuania is small and cheap so visiting alot of places is
suggested)
In the east (virtually nothing in the middle part of the country 😁) I
recommend Druskininkai, the Aukštaitija National park and of course the
capital Vilnius. The climate is similar to Canada and/or finland to a
lesser extent so the summers are quite warm but the winters are brutal
😁.
Forests cover over a third of the country, the food and culture is
similar to what you would find in Finland in some ways like the sauna
culture (which most people don't know actually emerged not exclusively
in Finland but in the eastern Baltic region in general thousands of
years ago) anyway.. 😁 Lithuania isnt Finland but knowing that Sam
enjoyed it over there, you guys will probably also enjoy Lithuania also
🙂
Vilnius cathedral is something i'd like to see in Lithuania.
Thank you very much for the detailed and awesome recommendations!
Hey, how many times, u are went there? From Budapest to krakow
Nice trip...Sam..
Thank you!
Hi guys! Love your videos! Just wondering, what camera do you use to film your videos? I've seen Audrey holding a smaller, compact camera...just wondering what it is. Thank you!
Thank you! She's now using a Canon G7X ii :)
Nice video! Budapest is nice to visit and I really want to do it. Apartment is nice. Was it good? I see It´s located in some historical old building. Was there any old elevator? And If yes, can you tell me location of that building?
I will be in Poland next week, in Krakow as well. Will you make another video, showing a bit more about Krakow?
Ah, that is awesome to hear! Our Krakow city guide will be out in the middle of next week :) Hope you have a great trip.
Was there for a month recently, from Sopot to Kyrnica.
Awesome to hear! Any favorite spots?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos : Still traveling in Central Europe, for a total of 13 weeks / 3 months. Let me answer this in detail in a few weeks' time after i get back.
Good decision on going north instead of south, if it's this hot here in Bosnia, I bet Greece must be hell. :D
Thanks! We do plan to visit the Balkans but in October and November when it is cooler :)
yey!!!ZPoland!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're very excited to be back!
Culture shock? What culture shock? When S & A are in Korea, they become Korean. When in Thailand, they become Thai. When in Poland, they become Polish. They are like water, my friend. (Sounds like Bruce Lee^^)
Hahaha...thank you! We try our best but to be honest we could probably learn more of the local language in places we visit.
HI. DID YOU TAKE THE BUS TO KRAKOW FROM NEPLIGET STATION???
How do you manage to travel all year round? Do you work remotely? Anyways, enjoyed watching the video :)
Thank you! Yes, we work online as we travel. We travel slower than an average person on a vacation but this allows us to get work done.
Hey Samuel, nice trip you guys made, really cool. I've been doing Intermittent Fasting four 3,5 months and I already lost 12,5 body fat. It does work man. Are you following an special program, like Kinobody for example?
Wow! That is awesome to hear. I'm doing a flexible approach where I'm doing 16 hour, 24 hours and 36 hour water fasts depending on my schedule for the week at least once and sometimes twice a week.
i want to see your guys visiting alaska and making a vid about indigenous food
Thank you! We'd love to visit. We've never been to Alaska.
I'm from Kyrgyzstan 😁
So am I👍🏻
Very cool to hear!
Great to hear Abu!
You guys are currently in the UK? Is this a stop over destination or are you planning to travel around?
We're going to be in the UK for most of August :)
i will be traveling to budapest in two weeks! :) why don't you guys travel by blablacar? it's super affordable too!
Cool to hear! Ah, we'll have to try that sometime :)
I would just have protein shakes 5 😢
Is there any toilet in the bus?
Are you guys coming to Lithuania? It's a shame that you decided not to go to Croatia, it's probably my favorite country to visit in Europe. :)
We're hoping to make it to Lithuania :) Ah, Croatia is still on our radar. We'll just be visiting in October or November when the weather is cooler :)
Can i carry 2 bags in this one 7 kg and other one for laptop bag
Guys have a Q for yous, out of all the counties you have visited , which country did you get the most funny looks 👀 from the people for vlogging / talking to your camera 😀😀😀
To be honest we feel most self-conscious when we're traveling in a country where English is spoken (Canada, US, UK, Australia, etc) especially when we're making food videos and sitting close to other people.
Could you let me know where should I get off if I use flixbus? Thanks
Flixbus arrives at stations typically so you can book online.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you so so much
Are you guys thinking about going to Australia?
Yeah, we'd love to revisit. We've only been to Queensland before :)
Hello,guys!
You are so close to Russia,when will it finally happen?Do you remember I invited you?
Oh my gosh! We've wanted to visit for such a long time so I hope it is this year :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos It will be great!Welcome to my place. Stay in touch.
ohhh i wish i knew it, when you guys visited Kurdistan :( that's so sad , i live in capital Erbil so we could meet !
Ah, next time!
Is Samule left-handed?
Yes, for sports but not writing.
Thanx for the proper pronunciation in Budape-sh-t city's name! 👍
Thanks!
You missed Vlkolinec, a UNESCO heritage site, just a few kilometres from your favourite toilet in Ruzomberok (Slovakia). For the best sceneries, start in Banska Stiavnica and head north, make sure you don't miss the entire Liptov region, Kvacianska/Prosiecka valleys, have a halushky somewhere, check out High Tatras, and then head to Pieniny national park and go rafting the Dunajec river bordering Poland. Underdeveloped tourism here, excellent product, poor marketing, not the right people in the right places in charge of things related to tourism (you saw that on the toilet), so requires extra research beforehand on sites like slovakia.travel/en/ Good luck!
Thank you very much for those suggestions! We're very keen to visit Slovakia and I think we might get a chance to go this fall :)
The food looks like Chinese food called dumpling haha .饺子（Jiaozi）
Studio WangTao it is basically polish 'dumplings'
oh, i get it ,:D
That is true!
Indeed!
Use jakdojade app for transport in Krakow.
Thank you for the tip!
Come to Denmark
Really hope we can!
jet lag is aircraft not bus
Budapest iz da best
(except for Warszawa)
Pierogi only from BabciA nothing is best
:-)
:)
How do you earn money to travel?
We do a number of different jobs online to keep us on the road.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
Thanks 🙏
So you work online while traveling?
Yes and we travel slow to keep up with work.
Eslovaquia please!
Ah, we have to go back there. It looks gorgeous and great for hiking.
It's written Budapest but pronounces " BUDAPESHT"
Thanks for the tip.
2:48 - I probably saw you on the old metro in budapest in summer.. My face memory is bad, but this sunglasses is very unique. Your sunglasses are like this: www.imdb.com/title/tt0075860/mediaviewer/rm1278618112
You're on this metro: welovebudapest.com/en/2014/08/27/how-to-get-to-downtown-budapest-from-the-airport/
Hahaha...oh my! Thanks for sharing that picture...hehe
