Split in two by the Danube River Buda and pest formed to make the largest and
capital city of Hungary as soon as we arrived we dropped our bags at the hotel
and were out walking around the city.
So we've just ordered a Lagos which is described as a Hungarian food
speciality fresh fried bread with the tastiest toppings and we've gone for a
cheese topping with garlic sauce.
This is our Langos it's with garlic sauce and cheese on top and it's fried bread
so let's dig in and try it!
[behind camera] what does it taste of? it's like
very garlicky but the bread stuff is is like a donut but without any of the sugar basically.
and yeah it's tasty, we paid 360 for this which is about £1.80 but
there's many different toppings you can get so prices range from about 400 to about 1000 forint
After the Langos we walk down by the river
we visited in mid-january so it was pretty cold with the temperature around
zero if you don't fancy walking.....
take the tram!
We've stopped here next to the Chain Bridge it crosses over the river and in
the distance you can see Buda Castle
At first we thought this was a pretty strange way to get to school but on
closer inspection it's a tourist attraction one of the many boat trips
you can take along the Danube.
Late on Saturday afternoon we visited the Széchenyi Thermal Baths
Located in the city park, this historic facility was opened in 1913 and are perhaps the most
famous bars in the city.
16,000 Florin bought us a cabin
we got changed, rented some towels and took a dip. As you can see it was quite
busy during our visit it may be worth visiting earlier in the
day to avoid the crowds or try visiting another of the many thermal pools around
the city.
After a dip it was time for some food.
We've just got our Goulash. It's more of a soup than a stew, but it's full of beef
carrots, potatoes, it smells lovely though!
Let's try a bit...
mmm it's really beefy, that's definitely the main flavour
really heart warming, definitely good on a cold day.
So our main course has just arrived. We've got beef tenderloins Budapest style, I'm trying to work out what that
actually means it's steak with some kind of sauce and
there's some veggies in there and some it kind of really thinly slice chips
which taste good and crispy, so I'm gonna dig in and enjoy!
mmmm, the juice is really juicy... the sauce adds an extra level of meatyness so I'm gonna enjoy this one.
To round the evening off we headed to thefamous ruin bars located in the Jewish
quarter of the seventh District formerly a group of houses and a stove Factory
the buildings were saved from demolition and are now a unique collection of
trendy bars perfect for a pint.
Next morning after a strong coffee will out explore in the city again
The Budapest metro is small and sweet. A single journey costs 350 Florint
and although the network is limited it is a good way of getting
from one end of town to the other.
You can't miss Hungary's Parliament building it's right on the banks of the
Danube and it's stunning Gothic architecture make it an absolute icon of
the city
The funicular train takes you to the top of the hill where you can find Buda Castle
It costs 1,200 Forint for a one-way trip or 1,800 for a return.
We decided to take the scenic route and walk down
Buda Castle isn't really a castle it's more of a series of big grand buildings
some of which house museums that you can pay to enter. We didn't bother but it's
still worth coming here for the views back over the city alone.
The soldiers standing on Guard are perfectly placed for a selfie.
After another quick metro ride we arrived at heroes square. Home too many
statues and grand buildings on the outer edge the square has also hosted
political events which have played a part in Hungary's modern history
Unfortunately this bought our weekend trip to an end, so we jumped in a taxi to
the airport.
