Advice Epic Road Trip: Austria to Croatia and Beyond

[VagabondVista]

Hi everyone! We're gearing up for an exciting road trip starting from Vienna and hitting up Budapest, then heading to Croatia and Slovenia before looping back to Austria. Any tips on must-see stops along the way? We're especially interested in scenic routes, local cuisine, and hidden gems that aren't too touristy. Also, how's the driving experience in these countries? Would love to hear your insights!

That sounds like an incredible road trip! For scenic routes, definitely take the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria—it's a bit of a detour but totally worth it for the views. In Croatia, the drive along the Dalmatian Coast is stunning, and make sure to stop in Rovinj for a charming, less touristy vibe. As for driving, it's generally smooth, but watch out for tolls and vignettes in Austria and Slovenia. Any specific spots you're most excited about?
