Travel Tips & Food Hacks - Start your Budapest day on the Pest side for Insta-worthy skyline snaps 📸. Hop on a tram to whisk you downtown, then wander to Buda’s old town streets—they’re loaded with stories (and coffee stops). - Serbian Orthodox Cathedral Monument, Serb utca 4, Budapest. Walk towards Serb utca to discover the city’s cultural blend—each street tells a different historic tale. - Hungarian Parliament Building—this iconic beauty is totally worth walk around and especially riverside views. - When you crave something different, Budapest's multicultural history shines in its food— or simply grab traditional goulash near Parliament. - Getting around Budapest is a breeze—grab a single travel card for unlimited trams and metro rides.

Going directly to the Balkans, seems a bit far away? - So we made the decision to return to Budapest. Last winter in Budapest, I saw the most beautiful sunrise in the trip, and the price was not high, so the good feelings of this place were boosted. This time, I went to the Citadella Hill that I didn't have time to go to, but I was in a cloudy weather, overlooking the Liberty Bridge. Budapest in spring is still very popular~ because I was driving, I climbed. Going up the hill and taking a few shots, I will go down. If I have time, I can stay for a long time.

[Traveling around Eastern Europe] Budapest Four days in this city, every time you go to a corner, there are different surprises and impressions. Everything you want, she has it. Some people say that Buda and Pace are like a pair of lovers, but it is too cruel to be across the river. I feel that they are a close friend, close to each other but not too close. Through more than 400 cities, Budapest has secured the top three in my favorite city. The day I walked around the world, I might think so. P.S. Forced to take a selfie, mainly to show the results of the first time to boldly cut hair in Europe.

[Travel around Eastern Europe] Budapest Budapest on the third day, I am not eager to punch around the attractions, I want to slowly stroll around the city, from night to day. Compared to Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Budapest is more of an imperial capital. There is no loss of elegance and fireworks in the majestic atmosphere. A very comfortable, beautiful and loving city, the weather is so good today. Sadness is because only you are alone.

Miss Guo's 100 City Travel Plan||The 9th City||Hungary Budapest||Budapest without a big hotel About Budapest, there is a real thing like a piece, the name of Chen Peisi is from Budapest, Chen Peisi's Father Chen Qiang liked the city of Budapest because he liked the city. He named his two sons, one was Chen Buda and the other was Chen Peisi. Actually, Buda and Pace are indeed two places. Budapest is divided into two halves by the blue Danube. The west bank of the river is called Buda (BUDA), and the east bank is called PEST until 1873. The establishment of a chain bridge across the Danube Bridge connects Buda and Pest into a city. Buda and Pace are like a pair of lovers. The blue rivers of the Danube are like their sweet words. Every bridge on the river connects them, holding hands, embracing or being romantic. Chain Bridge is the most famous, and my favorite free bridge, green bridge, on the Danube itself is particularly dazzling, from time to time yellow tram passing, like an art painting

Budapest Romantic to the ultimate city know Budapest, probably because of the movie "Budapest Hotel", probably because of the variety show "Mother's Romantic Travel". Budapest, the blue Danube, is truly a romantic city. There are some of the world's most beautiful subway stations, fairytale castles, fishermen's fort, and many historic churches... too much is worth exploring. Fisherman's Fort after the snow gives a reason to visit Budapest, Hungary in winter. Visit Budapest before and after Christmas, in addition to the Christmas market, the festival tram, the most fascinating is the Fisherman's Fort after the snow. Fisherman's Bastion is a neo-Gothic and neo-Roman-style viewing platform located on the Castle Hill on the Danube River on the Buda side of Budapest, Hungary, near the Matthias Church. From the tower and the observation deck, you can see the Danube, Margaret Island, Pace in the east, and the panoramic view of the Gell Hills.

The Elizabeth Bridge in Budapest, the Freedom Bridge, the Raja Manesh Bridge a little further away, and other bridges, they change their contrasting characters in daylight and dark nights, exuding the fascinating taste of different atmospheres. And I love the chain bridge. During the day, it is a fresh and pleasant princess. It has a royal noble temperament, yet it is elegant and graceful. Under the night, it is a gorgeous lady. In the twinkling of an eye, the Danube is draped. Under the curtain of the splendor, under the curtain, simple and happy people slowly drink coffee, drink beer, or take a leisurely walk in every corner of the city. Budapest is the pearl on the Danube. The beautiful and gentle Danube is a jade belt that traverses between Buda and Pest. The charming night view is unresolved, like a paper-folded paper crane, quiet and beautiful. ... I am leaving the Danube and I am very sad.

In the streets and alleys of Budapest, a hollow oak door is opened. The air in Budapest is filled with romance and quiet atmosphere. The former glory of the glory has been transformed into simplicity and simplicity. Entering the National Art Museum, the scenes of a hundred years ago are looming, and the gothic statues that have long disappeared are here again. One of the violin players has a gaze, and it seems that history has disappeared.

Some described Budapest as a survivor of Europe, and the romantic Hungarians compared the Danube to the curve of the Gypsy violin. Liszt used the notes to interpret Budapest's tenacious vitality and made it into a sacred one, as if it was breaking through a hundred years of catastrophe. It was at that time that Budapest accidentally blended the architectural styles of Ottoman and Roman, with the Baroque form of beauty and the neoclassical spiritual symbol.

Budapest is an excellent tourist city and is especially suitable for walking tours. The main city is divided into two areas, Buda and Pace, on the south bank of the Danube, and on the north bank of the Danube.

The carvings are exquisite and exquisite, and because of the high altitude of the attractions, you can see the beautiful scenery of Budapest. Pace has a large number of museums and buildings, which are more modern. There is also a music academy and a opera hall. The interior is luxurious and the music atmosphere is strong.

Fish and mountain treasures occupy an important position in Hungarian food. Grilled fogas (the name of a fish) is a wonderful experience. Shanzhen is mainly from the mountains of northeastern Hungary. There are many cooking methods for deer, venison, wild boar and pheasant.

Hungary is also known worldwide for its production of foie gras, and almost all restaurants offer fondue-processed dishes. Budapest is beauty and coffee, Buda produces fine wine, and Pest has coffee. Speaking of fine wine, the most famous in Hungary is the Tokaj "Osu", which is known as the king of wine. It tastes sweet and is usually used as a dim sum before dinner. The Tokaj Winery in the northeast of Buda is considered one of the best wine producing regions in the world. Good natural ecological conditions have made it the world's most outstanding sweet white wine Tokaj "Osu" since the mid-16th century. There is a coffee shop in the city of Pace, and there are countless cafes in the streets. The most famous caf here is the New York Caf, which is rich and elegant and attracts countless upper class people.

The Danube, the second longest river in Europe, carries Central and Southern Europe and passes through 10 countries. Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna on both sides of the strait have been given the mission of military fortresses, the rise and fall of the city, and the cultural precipitation. After several centuries, the Danube became a must for the nobility to travel. In 1854, the 16-year-old Princess Sissi was about to be crowned. Before the wedding ceremony, she cruised the Danube River and cheered everywhere. The Austrian poet Carl Baker wrote the Danube: "You are sentimental, you are young, beautiful, warm and pure, like the sparkling gold in the mine, the truth is awake there, by the Danube, next to the beautiful blue Danube ""
