"My introduction to Budapest" Budapest by Mique

(2003) Until recently Budapest wasn't very high on my list of cities to visit although i wanted to visit it one day. But when my travels to Romania made it easier to land in Budapest, we decided to stay several days here and get acquainted with the city. And the city is amasing. Much more so then i expected. I should have gone here years before. It has a bit of Paris, but also has its own unique ambiance. And there are monuments and beautiful buildings everywhere! I couldn't stop making pictures..
It is a very big city, but when you're in the centre you don't notice it as much. Until you stand near the Citadel and see the city go on and on..
With Buda being hilly and dominated by the palace and Mathias church and Pest being flat and having the beautiful parlement building and the Synagoge and the St. Stephens Basilica on its side.. you have all you want..
After having spend there around 4 days i still haven't seen half of it. Things like the train station build by Eiffels architect buro and the Jugenstil of the Museum of Art are still things i still need to see for rmyself..
(2005) have just returned here for a day and a half. And still stand by my former assasment of the city.
- Pros:Huge variety of activity, buildings and museums
- Cons:Too many things to visit and do in a couple of days
- In a nutshell:Beautiful city with something for everybody

The reason why Matthias Basement looks like it's trying to be authentic is because it actually is authentic. It has survived a world war, facism, communism, a revolution and the new (supposed) freedom. Yea. It's authentic.
What is the name. What made it better than Buda
LOL ... too true! Be prepared! I THINK you might have had better PadThai, but it's the best I have access too :)
I have a little glimpse of Budapest on your site with great info, Can't wait for my trip in December....I know it will be cold for sure, but who cares I'm with my family traveling......
ROFL, is that Katja with Stinker on her head??? Great travelogue honey. I see you taught him some manners too :) Oh well, I knew what is best for him.
