U.S. and Canadian citizens do not need a visa to visit Hungary, Austria, or the Czech Republic for stays under 90 days. All three countries are part of the Schengen Area, which means you cross borders freely by train with no passport checks between them. A valid passport is required and should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Entry requirements can change, and it is the traveler's responsibility to verify current visa and passport requirements before departure through their government's official travel advisory website.
⚠️ Please note that if your itinerary includes a transit or layover in the United Kingdom, you will be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travel. Entry requirements can change, and it is the traveler's responsibility to verify current visa, passport, and transit requirements before departure through their government's official travel advisory website.

Starting November 3, 2026, all passengers flying to the United States, or connecting through U.S. territory, must hand in a signed declaration at check-in. This applies to U.S. citizens too. It confirms you have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 21 days before your flight. Download the form from the CDC website, fill it in, sign it and date it with your travel date. Passengers without a completed form may be denied boarding, so we recommend arriving at the airport with extra time. Requirements can change, so please check the CDC page before you travel.

All three cities work well year-round. Spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) offer mild temperatures, blooming parks, and fewer crowds than summer. Summer (July to August) is warm and lively but busy. Winter (December to February) transforms all three cities with Christmas markets, snow-covered architecture, and a magical atmosphere, particularly Vienna and Prague. Budapest's thermal baths are a year-round highlight.
