"ROMANTIC BUDAPEST" Budapest by Michael_D


Budapest Travel Guide: 8,896 reviews and 16,202 photos

I cannot say ENOUGH about Budapest. In 1993 I was touring/performing with a gospel group and we went to Budapest to rest up after touring Ukraine, Bosnia and Helsinki. I never expected to go there. I never wanted to go there. NOW I CANT GET BUDAPEST OFF MY MIND!! The bridges, the churches, the food, the baths, the monuments, the parks and the Danube River are all etched in my memory. Budapest is no single thing...Budapest is a package..from St Stephens to the Chain Bridge to the parks and the Danube you just cannot go wrong..it is a visual feast!

Heros Square

I took a tram to Verislegiet Park, At the entrance was a HUGE grand scale tribute to Hungarys War heroes..... a vast sweeping square containing huge statues of Hungary's heroes and famous people.

Parliament

Look familiar? It should. The Hungarians so respected the British legal system and the British Parliament they built a near replica on the Danube River!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:its romantic & quite inexpensive compared to most European Capitals
  • Cons:you may not want to leave
  • In a nutshell:charming and inviting

    Nice page on a beautiful city, but I think you need to check out your restaurant tip! It must be a rather exclusive restuarant!
