As a Hungarian, this is a very good video about Budapest. Very high quality video. Thank you, as a Hungarian, for promoting my capital in this way. But you know Hungary not only Budapest, so I recommend you the provincial towns and Lake Balaton as well.
Hey! I’m heading to Hungary next month and have six months to explore the country and learn the language. Any town recommendations? Cheers from Argentina!
@@Nacho-x5j You won't learn the language in six months. Since it belongs to the Ugric-Altaic family, it is therefore completely different from, for example, Spanish or English. There are many sounds (about half of the sound set) that do not exist in the listed languages. You definitely need a teacher to learn them. But if you manage to solve the problems, a new world opens up. I can recommend the channel WithWillie.
@@tamaslukacs3173 Hey! Yeah, I understand that I won’t master Hungarian in six months, but I hope to be able to communicate a bit with the locals. I plan to keep learning and improving over time. Thanks for recommending that channel! I’ll check it out... Cheers mate!
Very cool video, but it's important to note that we Hungarians don't like goulash to be confused with stew. Goulash means only and exclusively soup. And pörkölt means stew.

In Europe, in addition to Spain, hot peppers began to be grown en masse here, and later in the Kalocsa region. A Hungarian invention contributed to this: grinding paprika into powder. We can read about its peasant production and use for the first time in József Csapó's herbal book from Debrecen (1775). For the first time, the peasants of the Great Plains realized that when added to red onions roasted in pork fat, the flavors and colors of the ground paprika dissolve optimally. This is the so-called stew base, which is still used in the preparation of a significant number of Hungarian dishes. This completely transformed Hungarian cuisine.
“Wow, you really captured why Budapest is such an underrated gem in Europe! The way you highlighted the city’s beauty and charm was spot on. Thanks for sharing this amazing perspective!” 😊
I just spent a few days in Budapest last month and MAN do I wish I had more time. It was actually exquisite without the pretense, and for me as a South African, it is quite a Rand friendly city. So so beautiful and the natural wonders had me gobsmacked. I love hearing about it's Baroque and Renaissance history as well as it's connection with Vlad Dracula! The springs were a highlight and I will definitely be back. I now see why it's called as The Paris Of The East
There are about 150 hot water spas in the country, including 36 special baths that contain, among other things, radioactive, sulfuric-acid, saline-bromine-carbonate, iodine water. Europe's only cave spa is in North-Eastern Hungary in Tapolca, and Hévíz near Lake Balaton is Europe's best-known warm (33 °C) spa lake. Some of the baths of Budapest - the "spa capital" of the world for decades - were already used in Turkish times. There are two dozen baths and 13 spas in the capital. In Egerszalók, the healing water that erupts when it cools can hold less dissolved material than before, and the difference precipitates out and creates a so-called salt hill. It can only be seen in Pamukkale (Turkey) and Yellowstone National Park (USA).
Wow - that indoor market looks fantastic. Seems very characteristic. That longosh looks delicious - even better if it tastes like focaccia. The Parisi cafe looks absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Hey guys! What a beautiful video. We have been several times. . Correct us if we're wrong , pronounced Buda... Pesh.. So much to experience on both sides of the Blue Danube. Rhett, the musical score set the tone of the video. Harriet and I have travelled throughout much of Eastern Europe. Budapest is our favorite. The Food, The History, The Culture etc. Claire, I want to mention that as a kid I grow up loving stew soups of all kinds. My dad and mom loved making them. What a trip guys! You make it fun. Also Guys, want to congratulate you to getting to 250k + subscribers. You deserve it. Sending much love❤ from where we are right now in St. Charles, The Chesapeake Bay off the coast of Delaware.

Hey guys. Thanks for stopping in. Very correct. It is pronounced Buda Pesh. I think Clairey said it once in this video then we reverted to “pest” 😂 We’re so glad you loved the video and your time in Budapest. We’ll definitely be back there one day too. Soups and stews are simply the best. We eat a lot of them at home in SA. We cook one ourselves at least once a week 😃👌🏼 Chesapeake bay sounds interesting. We’ll check it out! You guys are always somewhere new! It’s amazing, such an inspiration 😃 Keep well and love to little Yuki and Jim❤️
@@RhettandClaire Pesht is correct. In daily use, Budapest is too long. At the time of unification, until about 1873, the economically more important Pest was in front, and it was written with a hyphen (Pest-Buda). The Hungarian language does not like congestion of consonants, which is probably why the two words were reversed. But maybe the gesture towards the ruler was the reason. Buda once again became a royal residence.

Fantastic video and a really helpful insight to Budapest as I’m visiting in February 2025 for my first ever visit and I’ve wrote a few of the suggestions you have highlighted in the video
Thank you for the amazing video about my home city. :-) Just one thing that needs a cortection: "gulyás" is acually the name of a specific soup. The stews (made from different kind of meats and - of course - with paprika) called "pörkölt" in Hungarian.
It's actually not underrated. It's full of tourists from everywhere in the world all year round. There are tons of foreigners buying real estate, and many flats are used for AirBnB. So much that prices went up through the roof. (aided by inflation and some local policies). It's not just Budapest, Germans are basically buying everything around lake Balaton. There were so many people in the last national day (20th of august) that we couldn't exit the metro to go see the fireworks. So, the complete opposite: Budapest is way too hyped at the moment. Nice for tourists but becoming too expensive for locals..
I'm not your target audience, traveling solo or with children and have extensive food allergies, but I keep watching because I love your enthusiasm and the style of your videos.
The lángos sold at the Great Market Hall in Budapest is often overpriced, making it a bit of a tourist trap. While you can find this popular Hungarian snack for around 4-6 euros in various spots around the city, the prices at the Market Hall tend to be significantly higher. Many locals recommend enjoying lángos elsewhere for a more authentic and reasonably priced experience.
I am glad you went to Frici Papa restaurant to try out goulash. It's authentic. These restaurant famous for the tourists but luckily its not the bad, trap restaurant but a restaurant what really used by locals and mainly musicians. As you might now the Music University is just right in the corner. I frequently visited the restaurant around 20years ago, not anymore. But they still have pretty affordable prices. But keep in mind those prices are not reflect regular restaurant prices.
I'm Hungarian. I have stayed in many places in European countries because I am a big traveler, but my favorites are Hungarian hotels. here, breakfast is made with quality ingredients, dinner is a real dinner, the rooms are spacious.
Hungary has a lot of amazing food. Gulyás is great, one of my favourite dishes, but it unjustly gets all the attention. Pörkölt is amazing, especially with tejföl. Resztelt máj (chopped liver with onion) is amazing. Székelykáposzta (fermented cabbage with usually pork and tejföl). Paprikás krumpli (potato, paprika, sausage and whatnot). Rakott kel (kale with rice and ground pork, usually AND TEJFÖL) Túrógombóc (a snack made out of cottage cheese, WITH TEJFÖL) Túrós tészta (more of a snack than a real dish: basically pasta, cottage cheese, sugar AND TEJFÖL, yes, we add tejföl to everything, and the world is a better place for it!) There are a lot of amazing Hungarian sausages. Halászlé (fish soup) And so on! If you are a tourist visiting Hungary, I suggest you try these.
Budapest is with “sh” to be correct😉not pest but pesht. Gulash is pronounced with “y” guyash for English speakers, it is also not a stew but a soup, stew is thicker, called pörkölt.
Great video and thank you for making it. out of curiosity you purchased the travel card but not the Budapest card - any reason? I`m deliberating about both and wonder if the Budapest card is worth it?
(i use google translate) welcome to us, have a good time! 🙂 I always cry when you call it "goulash", but that's not how you say it, the soup (yes, it's really a favorite of many, and it's very delicious, but there are other dishes that aren't available everywhere in the world) this is of course my fault😉 look at it for me! Hungary does not only consist of Budapest! I want you to visit other places too! if you need suggestions, here are some ideas -> Esztergom Basilica, Eger Castle, Hévíz, Balatonfüred, Visegrád Castle in the bend of the Danube (also known as the "felleg" (castle above the clouds") Hortobágy National Park, nine-hole bridge, our highest mountain" blue-roofed "Turkish monuments of Pécs, Aggtelek stalactite cave (there is also one in Budapest), Sopron's old town and the Fire Tower, Esterházy Castle, Fertőd, Badacsony and the surrounding martyrdom hills, Szalajka Valley, Szilvásvárad (there is also a light railway) Festetics Castle, Keszthely, Zempléni Castles, Palkonya Cellar Village, Andrássy -castle, Tiszadob 🙂 if you need another destination, just contact me here (a (real) small railway operated by children in Buapeest)
Hi Rhett and Claire, thank You so much for this honest review of our beautiful capital city. You two are such a lovely couple. Claire is supercute, what a woman. And You pal, well I am straight so ... lets just say Claire made a great decision. :D I hope You guys will come back to Hungary again. My sister is a tourguide here, maybe I can get a discount for You. :)
Bocsánat nem tudok angolul. 2nap kevés. Az összes must see hely bejárására legalább 4nap kell.

Ezek abszolút must see helyek. A Ferenciek terét jó lett volna megmutatni kívülről is a Klotild és Matild palotával. Szerintem akkor jóval nagyobb lett volna a nézettség.
22:09: That is a properly tapped czech beer with 3 fingers thick foam, later you can see the Pilsner Urquell logo on the tankard 😃 Hungarian beers are served usually in german style glasses or tankards, and don't have so much foam. But you haven't missed anything, as Pilsner is far better than most hungarian beers. (The same Pilsner would have cost 60 CZK/2.38€ in czech pubs)
Thanks for the video! I lived in budapest 36 years and you forgot the most valuable thing to mention: safety.. !!! Like girls do not get raped etc like in france, etc.. and not even at night and not even if they go alone 4am.. 0 times, opposed to the western liberal countries ;P and i did not even saw 1 robbery in budapest in 36 years! (but i know that there could be, but maybe only with the gipsyes :D )
Well...Hungarian people are really obsessed with paprika, that's true! The " Trinity " of the Hungarian kitchen is based on onion, Mangalica pork lard, and off course, ground paprika!
Very underrated, Hungary has a bad reputation all the time bc of our neighbours hate, people dont know the country, they think we are poor Slavs or Balkan people.
As a Hungarian, who lives in Budapest you could show me some new places as well. Thank you for that! These places are usually for foreigners, because hungarian people cannot afford these "cheap" places.
I love discovering cool places in Budapest and showing them to the locals. For example, did you know there was a bench close to the central support of the Margit hid, which is hidden underwater except for the hottest and driest periods?
Like the Italians eating pizza, we usually eat lángos with our hands...

I do not want to seem like an unwelcoming idiot BUT: Please, Budapest is spelled something like "BOODAPESHT" there is no snakey "s" there at all. Also the country is not called Hungry, it called HungAry even in English as I would not expect learning the official Magyarország. It is so annoying that this small step towards the local culture was not made, at the age of mass tourism this is just so f*d up that so many tourists just come here to do the content and give a s*t about the actual places. No wonder why Athens, Barcelona and other cities in Europe revolt now against tourists. I would not mention other problems in this video even though there are many, this keeps coming up and is super frustrating.
Great video. I really enjoyed it BUT ... please forgive me for being critical but don't you think "underrated" has become the most overused word in travel videos now? It has become one of the most common words in video titles. If it's a place that's not in the top 10 most visited places on earth it's 'underrated'. And I even think it's the wrong word. 'Underrated' to me means people rate it as being worse than it really is. I don't think people do that to Budapest. It is in fact highly rated. If you mean it receives less attention than you think it should, OK. But it's not really underrated. And with over four million visitors annually it's actually not that ignored either. It has more visitors than Krakow, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Seville ....
@@RhettandClaire was there in may . side note the plate of goulash with potato's is Austrian and the red bowl one is Hungarian. and you should try state side goulash all are amazing.
You know, there are some. There's virtually everyone, including Chinese. But somehow the immigrants are well integrated. You can find Chinese people speaking perfect Hungarian (as they are not the 1st generation).
Wow. Looks like you did have. Good time there. But why only so a short time ? Flights to go there only for such a short time ? Please explain it to me. I am now in Milano for more than one week. No hurry, no stressing around. Please explain it. Ok ? And the Jimny having a rest ? And where ?
I think one superlative hasn´t been mentioned: safety. Budapest is nothing like Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelona or other western cities riddled with crime. And there´s a reason for it I´m not gonna address but those of you who follow the news just a bit must know why.
Many stats are worse in Budapest and crime is rising. Violent crime always the main concern and it has a pretty poor rate. And most is not gang v gang. Minus gang v gang stats from Budapest and these cities , and general public safety would be better in these larger cities. Large rich cities attract more gangs. Anyway petty theft is also awful in Budapest. And corruption off the charts,
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez Sure, corruption is terrible and Budapest could be better on it in terms of safety - it fares worse than many other similar capitals (Warsaw, Prag) and other big/bigger cities in that region. Still though, could you provide the stats you mentioned? Also, do women in Budapest fear to travel by bus after dusk? Do they fear to go to public swimming pools like girls/women in many German cities? Did Hungarians families give up evening strolls in cities centres? And where are there gangs in big rich cities like Warsaw or Prag? Or are they not big and rich enough? And if that doesn´t match that logic then where are there gangs in Tokyo putting the lives of common ppl at risk? I mean yes, there is definitely a correlation, but it is not an automatic thing or a kind of natural law.
A few thoughts, info: As unbelievable as it may be, goulash is an invention of the restaurateurs of Pest (around the end of the 19th century). This was the age of national romanticism, so a fashionable name was needed. This was the goulash. This word denotes a herdsman who deals with cattle ( cowboy?) . As the name suggests, this is a shepherd's dish. It isn't. Farmers and shepherds were not rich, so they rarely ate meat. Paprika was not cheap either, so it was rarely used. Meat was only eaten on holidays, but that wasn't typical either. They usually ate pasta. The typical shepherd's dish is "slambuc" This is a pasta fried in bacon fat and then cooked. By the beginning of the 20th century, at least 25 goulash recipes were known. Therefore, it can be said that all the nations of the former Monarchy have their own version. It is related to this: there are as many versions as there are made. What is always the same in the case of Hungarian goulash: Always spicy vegetable broth. Great Market Hall. It was originally designed so that ships could enter the hall. This was later dropped. The boulevards in Pest also had a canal concept (like in Venice). 14:57 paprika in tourist packaging. By the way, there are 6 classes of ground pepper, to which there are three subgroups according to spiciness, and further subgroups according to the place of production. Erős Pista/Strong Stevie is a well-known raw ground salted cream. A man's head with a big mustache can be seen on it. This is spicy, but if there is little spiciness, it is even more spicy. (Manufactory products such as Utolsó kenet/Final anointing or Attila Isten ostora/ Attila's God's whip. But I can also recommend Gabko products) There are also many types of raw peppers (chili). Some are eaten raw, others pickled. 15:08 congratulations on the pronunciation! Today's Fisherman's Bastion was built specifically for spectacle. He participated in only one battle, during the Second World War, during the siege of Buda. Its foundations, however, have seen a lot of fighting, as has the entire area. This wall section was also called this before the current building. The name can be linked to the area between it and the Danube. The name of this part is Viziváros / Watercity. Its inhabitants were mainly fishermen. Since the current building did not exist at the time of the fishermen, they could not protect it. Bastions, sections of walls, gates were named after geographical locations. For example, the gate where the road started towards Hatvan was called Hatvani gate. (There was such a gate, it stood on today's Astoria square.)

I want you to visit other places too! if you need suggestions, here are some ideas -> Esztergom Basilica, Eger Castle, Hévíz, Balatonfüred, Visegrád Castle in the bend of the Danube (also known as the "felleg" (castle above the clouds") Hortobágy National Park, nine-hole bridge, our highest mountain" blue-roofed "Turkish monuments of Pécs, Aggtelek stalactite cave (there is also one in Budapest), Sopron's old town and the Fire Tower, Esterházy Castle, Fertőd, Badacsony and the surrounding martyrdom hills, Szalajka Valley, Szilvásvárad (there is also a light railway) Festetics Castle, Keszthely, Zempléni Castles, Palkonya Cellar Village, Andrássy -castle, Tiszadob 🙂 if you need another destination, just contact me here (a (real) small railway operated by children in Buapeest)

I really liked the video about our beautiful capital. You are a cute couple. Thank you for visiting!
Hi Rhett and Claire, thank You so much for this honest review of our beautiful capital city. You two are such a lovely couple. Claire is supercute, what a woman. And You pal, well I am straight so ... lets just say Claire made a great decision. :D I hope You guys will come back to Hungary again. My sister is a tourguide here, maybe I can get a discount for You. :)
Bocsánat nem tudok angolul. 2nap kevés. Az összes must see hely bejárására legalább 4nap kell. Parlament(a világ 3. legnagyobb parlamentje), Városliget, Andrássy sugárút, Szent István Bazilika, Zsinagóga(a világ 2. legnagyobb zsinagógája), Margitsziget, Gellért-hegy kimaradt. Ezek abszolút must see helyek. A Ferenciek terét jó lett volna megmutatni kívülről is a Klotild és Matild palotával. Szerintem akkor jóval nagyobb lett volna a nézettség.
na meg ne felejtsük el a 8. kerületi hajléktalanszállót, az is nagyon szép hely
@@Kareszrk köszönet a 8 ker szocialista vezetésének, .idó elvtárs visszahozta a hajléktalanokat.

22:09: That is a properly tapped czech beer with 3 fingers thick foam, later you can see the Pilsner Urquell logo on the tankard 😃
Hungarian beers are served usually in german style glasses or tankards, and don't have so much foam.
But you haven't missed anything, as Pilsner is far better than most hungarian beers.
(The same Pilsner would have cost 60 CZK/2.38€ in czech pubs)
Any beer is better than czech beer.
I'd take Budapest over the sleazy, expensive and extremely busy Prague all day, every day! Cannot wait to make a return trip.
Really?? We’ve met so many people the last few months who prefer Prague over Budapest actually!
Cool trip in Budapest guys, we all love it xxx P.S.: desert in Parisi Passage costs £11.17 not £1.17 Lot's of love from England & Hungary xxxxx❤
This lángos was extremely expensive. A good lángos at a common...ish place is about 5-6 eur.
Thanks for the video! I lived in budapest 36 years and you forgot the most valuable thing to mention: safety.. !!! Like girls do not get raped etc like in france, etc.. and not even at night and not even if they go alone 4am.. 0 times, opposed to the western liberal countries ;P and i did not even saw 1 robbery in budapest in 36 years! (but i know that there could be, but maybe only with the gipsyes :D )
I remember Budapest
Congratulations 🎊 such a amazing video..+ you are very beautiful 😍 girl 👧
From my point of view it is above Paris or London.
Well...Hungarian people are really obsessed with paprika, that's true! The " Trinity " of the Hungarian kitchen is based on onion, Mangalica pork lard, and off course, ground paprika!
Can you please do Mauritius next..
Budapest has never been underrated! But you could learn more!
Very underrated, Hungary has a bad reputation all the time bc of our neighbours hate, people dont know the country, they think we are poor Slavs or Balkan people.
@@timeanagy8495 We re talking about Budapest, not Hungary.
Electric shops,bikes riders rixo ,too
thank you for visiting my beautiful city! ❤ 😘
Enjoyed your video, Did you use Hungarian money or Euros.
Euro😊
As a Hungarian, who lives in Budapest you could show me some new places as well. Thank you for that! These places are usually for foreigners, because hungarian people cannot afford these "cheap" places.
I love discovering cool places in Budapest and showing them to the locals. For example, did you know there was a bench close to the central support of the Margit hid, which is hidden underwater except for the hottest and driest periods?

you should have gone to sparti party - it's one of the best things to do.
What is that?😁
Like the Italians eating pizza, we usually eat lángos with our hands...
I do not want to seem like an unwelcoming idiot BUT:
Please, Budapest is spelled something like "BOODAPESHT" there is no snakey "s" there at all.
Also the country is not called Hungry, it called HungAry even in English as I would not expect learning the official Magyarország.
It is so annoying that this small step towards the local culture was not made, at the age of mass tourism this is just so f*d up that so many tourists just come here to do the content and give a s*t about the actual places. No wonder why Athens, Barcelona and other cities in Europe revolt now against tourists. I would not mention other problems in this video even though there are many, this keeps coming up and is super frustrating.
I was just there…
Great video. I really enjoyed it BUT ... please forgive me for being critical but don't you think "underrated" has become the most overused word in travel videos now? It has become one of the most common words in video titles. If it's a place that's not in the top 10 most visited places on earth it's 'underrated'.
And I even think it's the wrong word. 'Underrated' to me means people rate it as being worse than it really is. I don't think people do that to Budapest. It is in fact highly rated. If you mean it receives less attention than you think it should, OK. But it's not really underrated. And with over four million visitors annually it's actually not that ignored either. It has more visitors than Krakow, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Seville ....
Hey! Do you edit videos yourself or have you hired someone? I’m an editor and would love to discuss, if you’re interested
When were you there?
Late June 😃
@@RhettandClaire was there in may . side note the plate of goulash with potato's is Austrian and the red bowl one is Hungarian. and you should try state side goulash all are amazing.
Amazing city.. no immigrants and moslims..❤
You know, there are some. There's virtually everyone, including Chinese. But somehow the immigrants are well integrated. You can find Chinese people speaking perfect Hungarian (as they are not the 1st generation).
@@Skillividden
No moslims.
Wow. Looks like you did have. Good time there. But why only so a short time ? Flights to go there only for such a short time ?
Please explain it to me. I am now in Milano for more than one week. No hurry, no stressing around. Please explain it. Ok ?
And the Jimny having a rest ? And where ?
We were on a big 6 week European trip. We were in Budapest for a week but only filmed on 2 days 😊
Budapest is packed with tourists, we don't need more and end up like Venice.
Overtourism is hurting the locals in many ways.
Were you able to pay in most places with a credit card, or did you need cash?
I don’t think we even drew cash. We used cards/Apple Pay for everything 😊
it's a law in Hungary that every commercial enterprise MUST accept credit cards so yeah, you don't need cash at all.

Is it 9. Biggest? It was 15. in population, at 2018, and it is smaller now
I think one superlative hasn´t been mentioned: safety. Budapest is nothing like Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelona or other western cities riddled with crime. And there´s a reason for it I´m not gonna address but those of you who follow the news just a bit must know why.
Many stats are worse in Budapest and crime is rising. Violent crime always the main concern and it has a pretty poor rate. And most is not gang v gang. Minus gang v gang stats from Budapest and these cities , and general public safety would be better in these larger cities. Large rich cities attract more gangs. Anyway petty theft is also awful in Budapest. And corruption off the charts,
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez
Sure, corruption is terrible and Budapest could be better on it in terms of safety - it fares worse than many other similar capitals (Warsaw, Prag) and other big/bigger cities in that region. Still though, could you provide the stats you mentioned?
Also, do women in Budapest fear to travel by bus after dusk? Do they fear to go to public swimming pools like girls/women in many German cities? Did Hungarians families give up evening strolls in cities centres?
And where are there gangs in big rich cities like Warsaw or Prag? Or are they not big and rich enough? And if that doesn´t match that logic then where are there gangs in Tokyo putting the lives of common ppl at risk? I mean yes, there is definitely a correlation, but it is not an automatic thing or a kind of natural law.
I hope your next destination is Bangladesh🥰🇧🇩
Langos is like Foccacia - Sure
If the sour cream has "expired its warranty".
I was worried about roaming charges, that esim is very timely 🎉😅
We’re glad to hear that! It was the same for us!😁🙌🏻. Here’s our link: bit.ly/4b43FF2 🥰
Langos is the priciest at the Central Food Market, it's very reasonably priced elsewhere
The problem with beautiful tourist attractions... is the tourists. New York Café really needs a dress code. (You look fine of course!)
A few thoughts, info:
As unbelievable as it may be, goulash is an invention of the restaurateurs of Pest (around the end of the 19th century). This was the age of national romanticism, so a fashionable name was needed. This was the goulash. This word denotes a herdsman who deals with cattle ( cowboy?) . As the name suggests, this is a shepherd's dish. It isn't.
Farmers and shepherds were not rich, so they rarely ate meat.
Paprika was not cheap either, so it was rarely used.
Meat was only eaten on holidays, but that wasn't typical either.
They usually ate pasta. The typical shepherd's dish is "slambuc"
This is a pasta fried in bacon fat and then cooked.
By the beginning of the 20th century, at least 25 goulash recipes were known. Therefore, it can be said that all the nations of the former Monarchy have their own version. It is related to this: there are as many versions as there are made.
What is always the same in the case of Hungarian goulash: Always spicy vegetable broth.
Great Market Hall. It was originally designed so that ships could enter the hall. This was later dropped. The boulevards in Pest also had a canal concept (like in Venice).
14:57 paprika in tourist packaging. By the way, there are 6 classes of ground pepper, to which there are three subgroups according to spiciness, and further subgroups according to the place of production.
Erős Pista/Strong Stevie is a well-known raw ground salted cream. A man's head with a big mustache can be seen on it. This is spicy, but if there is little spiciness, it is even more spicy. (Manufactory products such as Utolsó kenet/Final anointing or Attila Isten ostora/ Attila's God's whip. But I can also recommend Gabko products)
There are also many types of raw peppers (chili). Some are eaten raw, others pickled.
15:08 congratulations on the pronunciation!
Today's Fisherman's Bastion was built specifically for spectacle. He participated in only one battle, during the Second World War, during the siege of Buda. Its foundations, however, have seen a lot of fighting, as has the entire area. This wall section was also called this before the current building. The name can be linked to the area between it and the Danube. The name of this part is Viziváros / Watercity. Its inhabitants were mainly fishermen. Since the current building did not exist at the time of the fishermen, they could not protect it.
Bastions, sections of walls, gates were named after geographical locations. For example, the gate where the road started towards Hatvan was called Hatvani gate. (There was such a gate, it stood on today's Astoria square.)
Well summarized.

You look so sweet, greetings from Turkey 🙂
