As you can probably tell behind me, it’s a bit of a rainy day here in Budapest.
So I decided that would be a perfect day to go to a museum.
I’ve been pretty lucky on this trip.
It’s been almost 2 1/2 weeks now and I really haven’t been rained out.
So today I’m going to a place called “Hospital in the Rock.“
It’s basically a nuclear bunker.
I don’t know much about it.
I’m going to find out on a tour at 11 o’clock.
But what I do know about it is that it’s dry in there.
So we get a little bit of a break from the rain.
So Hospital in the Rock for the next couple of hours.
[Music]
Right behind me you can see the Parliament buildings.
There are some of the biggest buildings in the world.
I also wanted to come back here because this place, well, literally is totally lit at night.
If it doesn’t rain tonight, I’ll show you tonight.
If not, I’ll show you tomorrow.
It is one of the most beautiful sites to see in Budapest when they like this up when you
go across the river and you can just look at it and it’s this big beautiful light display.
I can’t wait to do that.

[Trumpets Playing]
I’m not really sure if this is kind of a sculpture or a warning.
[Music]
Oh!
Hahahahaha!

One of the more unique ideas with the Budapest card is this place right behind me.
It’s Koffer luggage storage. So if you’re just coming into Budapest for one or two days.
Maybe you’re on a cruise, or something like that, you can actually bring your luggage
here and store for the validity of your Budapest card for free.
And there are lots of coffee shops in the area.
So if you get off a plane or boat and just want to go somewhere and put your luggage
down, have a coffee, there’s lots a little coffee shops in this area.
To get here, take the metro and get off at Octagon station.
This place is open from 9 AM till 10 PM every day.
So you can store your luggage here for free with your Budapest card during its validity.

One of the coolest benefits of the Budapest card that I have not seen on any other card
is right behind me in a shopping mall.
So we’re going to go inside.
For a lot of people, this might be worth buying the card just for this benefit.
Something that everyone should use, not everyone will use, I’m not going to use it, but I should.
So let’s go inside.
[Music]
So that’s a pretty unique benefit of the Budapest card.
All you do is go to the gym, pull out your Budapest card, and that’s your membership
for the validity of the card.
If you want to go in without a membership, the cost is 1600 forint per day.
That’s actually pretty cheap.
It’s a little less than seven dollars.
Most American gyms, like LA fitness, will charge between $15 and $20 to come in.
So even if you don’t have the Budapest card, that’s a pretty good deal.
[Music]
9 AM till 10 PM every day.
Uhmmm, let me see, is it every day?
If you’re going to get the Budapest card, you may as well hit the gym!
