What to do in BUDAPEST. Your Travel Guide to the City

Last week we tried Hungarian food (https://youtu.be/50pE01zynL0) and this week we explore the incredible city of Budapest!

We start the day at the amazing Central Market (Great Market Hall). Here you’ll find loads of food, souvenirs, and clothing in one of the biggest indoor markets we’ve ever seen. Because we’re still full from eating all the Hungarian food, we only get some fresh made orange juice.

After that we head over to check out the outside of the famous Hungarian Parliament building, definitely one of the more iconic buildings in the country. After this we walk along the Danube River where we find the art installation called A History of Shoes on the Danube. We then head over to the Buda side of the city using the Chain Bridge.

On the Buda side we visit the Fisherman’s Bastion, a castle-like structure with great views over the city.

Lastly we head back to the Pest side, to the Jewish Quarter where we first head to an outdoor street food market, called Karavan where we try Kobe sausages. Then we make our way to the original and most famous ruin bar in Budapest called Szimpla Kert.

Divided by the Danube, the city is made up of Buda on one side, where you can find Ottoman-era thermal baths at the foot of the spectacular Gellert Hill, the royal place and Matthias Church. This place of the city radiates peace and calm. The other side, with its museums, extraordinary Secessionist architecture, its majestic parliament building, Saint Stephen’s Basilica, and its entirely renovated Jewish Quarter and Palace district, is incredibly vibrant and lively.

Besides its history, Budapest has one of the best cultural scenes in Europe. world-class festivals, theatres, museums, concert halls and sporting events. As for foodies, the celebrated creations of Hungarian cuisine are a definite must!
