Our goal while in Budapest was to experience the city without feeling rushed. We gave ourselves more time than usual, booked a cheap Airbnb in the Jewish Quarter and made no itinerary. At the end of our trip we were deeply infatuated with Hungary’s capital. From the food and the…
In every new city we visit, we usually try and watch the sunrise at least once. Not only is the early morning light perfect for photos but it is also one of the only ways to experience the most popular attractions without hordes of other tourists. Fisherman’s Bastion offers some…
From rooftops views and thermal spa parties, to ruin pubs and a communist themed dive bar, Budapest is packed with interesting (and cheap!) places to drink. The city comes alive at night, and while we usually prefer day drinking during our travels, the energy of the Budapest nightlife scene made…
