Budapest is an interesting city with many things to see. The Danube River offers nice views, especially from the bridges or the riverside walk. The Parliament building is impressive and worth seeing, even just from the outside. The Central Market Hall was busy but enjoyable — a good place to see local products and try some Hungarian food. Overall, I liked Budapest. It’s easy to get around and there are many places to explore, although some areas can be quite crowded with tourists.

Budapest is a beautiful city! People are very friendly, and the city is full of history. The contrast between the modern and the old that you see in the streets is just incredible — every corner is perfect for a photograph! 📸

Fantastic city with so much to offer. Highlights for us were the ruin bars in Jewish quarter and the sunday flee market which was massive. We also loved our sunset river cruise on the Danube and St Stephens Bascilica. The streets around the Bascilica are expensive for shopping and very touristy as most of the mid price shops are now in shopping centres outside of the city. So i recommend heading to the flee market in the Jewish quarter which is outdoor indoor and loads of amazing handmade gifts, vintage items and local artists. There is also a food market and local produce every sunday inside Szimpla Kert the main ruin bar. It is such fascinating eccelctic place full of plants and graffiti in old ruins of a building. Overall we found it to be one of rhe most interesting cities we have visited and so much variety and lots of delicious food to try if you are a foodie. Basically whatever you want. Every street had a cafe or restaurant. All in all a fantastic city and so interesting and varied for all tastes.

A Few Days in Timeless Budapest Budapest is one of those cities that quietly steals your heart. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its graceful blend of history and life — the grand old buildings standing proudly along streets that hum with stories of the past. The city feels alive yet serene, elegant yet warm, as if time itself moves a little slower here. One morning, I had brunch at The Brunch Café, perfectly set by the bank of the Danube. The gentle river breeze, the scent of fresh coffee, and the view of sunlight dancing on the water made it an unforgettable moment. Sitting there, I felt the rhythm of the city reflected in the flow of the river — calm, steady, and full of quiet beauty. Later that day, I found myself at Anonymus Bar & More (Kós Károly sétány 1., Vajdahunyad vár 1146), nestled beside the enchanting Vajdahunyad Castle. It felt like stepping into a storybook. The atmosphere was cozy and a little mysterious, the kind of place where time slips away over a cup of tea and the sound of soft laughter drifts through the air. Budapest, with its glowing lights mirrored in the Danube and its rich cultural soul, left me deeply moved. It’s a city that doesn’t just impress you — it lingers in your memory, whispering for you to return.

During my second visit to this remarkable city, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I recommend staying near downtown Budapest to take advantage of its excellent attractions, opportunities for extensive walks, and its rich historical heritage. There are excellent restaurants and cosy coffee shops, with Opera Garden Coffee Shop being my favourite—try their pistachio croissant. Be sure to prebook classical concerts; I missed several because I didn’t book early. Including a traditional Hungarian goulash meal as well as sampling the notable selection of Hungarian red wines is recommended for an authentic culinary experience.
