Budapest in our bag

Lets put Budapest in to our bag :)
Here we go, it took nearly 45 minutes to get Budapest from Warsaw. It was on april but we were luck the weather was sunny and hot after warsaw it was like a heaven. Before the journey, first we wanted to share the Panaroma photos that we took to make you more curious and excited.

4 days in Budapest believe me folks its never enough never not for Budapest. Before we go to Budapest our biggest concern was the hostel that we will stay. cause it was so close to centre and it was so cheap. irene tought its like a wardrobe but thank god it was a nice love box :) Actually thats what receptionist told us and it was a love box :).



Actually we were so excited because it was our first real trip together and we were so lucky cause of the sun our friends went there after we came back to warsaw and it was raining and cloudy when they were there.


We mention the places we were so we are not going to explain you all the photos for tho ones who wonders please send e-mailor comment guys. We will talk general about all places that we traveled. For us Budapest was like a dream we dont know maybe cause of the weather, maybe because of the beauty of the city but it was amazing.

There are many homeless people i mean we never saw that much homeless people ever in our lives but the interesting thing was there were  not many beggars.Streets, Buildings all are all smelling history and beauty.




City is divided in to two parts as Buda and Pest by the river Tuna (Duna) River. Actually all the old historical places such as Buda Castle, Fisherman's Castle, Matthias Church and Gellert hill are at Buda side.

We do not suggest you to find a hotel or hostel at buda part because pest side is more lively and there are more places for shopping and eating.


Parlement 

In Budapest there are many Turkish restaurants i mean real food you always have a chance to find a Turkish restaurant there cheapand delicious. In budapest the most important food is a soup that i forget its name but no way that you can miss it.

You wanna buy souveniers? ok get ready its sooooooooo expensive really but if you go for quite streets and find souvenier shops you have a chance to find cheap ones.


Dohany street Synagogue and the cemetry is behind
This synagogue is so famous but the thing is, it seem like its a high security place and when u wanted to enter they ask for money so we didnt enter every church is free but this synagogue is with ticket so we said wtf and didnt enter.


We walked every where by foot it was tiring but it worth it 'cause you have opportunity to see around and discover hidden beauties and restaurants.

3th day we spent all day for gellert hill and margaret island. we highly suggest you to go gellert hill to take nice photos, especially panaroma photos but beware its a long way to the hill by foot but u have an  opportunity to go by bus.



We say definitely no to the Hop on - Hop off tours its just waste of money but ıf you have limited time to see all around the Budapest join but if you have time go yourselves.

Day and night there are boat trips along the Tuna (Duna) River. highly recommended but dont buy from the first place you see, but tickets after you ask different places 'cause the prices of the tickets are changing in every place. so DONT GET ROBBED.


There are not so many things at Margeret island to be honest a park, a small zoo and a small botaic garden but some days of the year they make huge events and concerts at the island if you can catch one of these events it will be a lovely time for you.

Parlement buildng at night

Budapest is another beauty at night. we had a river tour at night and we discoverd that beauty thanks to river tour. Along the tour they tell about the history of Budapest in different languages so you will have a chance to learn some of its history but i am telling you all are not true.

Here we are Budapest:)
Szechenyi Bath
Last day we spared all day for Szechenyi Bath, i personally thank Irene to push me to go there because i wouldnt go there if she wouldnt want to go. As you can imagine i had a perfect time there All day long folks. Really its worth to go there and spend a whole day there.
