Nice vlog. Happy to enjoyed the city in a nice weather. Few extra infos for you. Olympic Park - Hungary really proud to it's Olympic heritage. Budapest applied to host Summer Olympic Games two times, and it won the possibility: in 1916 and 1940. Both times the war deleted the Olympics. Hungary was between the 9 nations which founded the International Olympic Committee in 1894. As for know Hungary one of the most effective country in the history of the Olympic Games, ranking 9th place in the all-time rankings (only just much bigger great powers are ahead of it.) The Olympic Park giving commemoration to all the Gold Medalists of Hungary, for all the 187 gold medals. Compare this Netherland have 110 gold medals and ranked 14th on the all-time rank. So Hungary is a really sport-maniac country, as well as yours... USSR - Hungary was never part of the Sovietunion, but was forced to be part of the Warsaw Pact, or as known - the communist block, between 1948 and 1989. The buildings on the Street Andrassy (The Champs Elysée kind main Boulevard) majority built in the 19th century, but true, that on these "communist times" the authorirties not cared to them well. Since that time majority of these buildings was renovated. reconstructed - but not all of them, so you can saw few from them, which still waiting to their reborn. The most expensive hotel in Budapest is the Four Season Hotel Gresham, which is on the Pest side front of the Chain Bridge. Unlike the Marriott you mentioned (5 stars) the Gresham 5+2 stars hotel. Budapest in summertime packed with tourists, so not the Formula One was the reason why you saw that many, Budapest visited by 8 million tourists year. The old metro was the first electric metro in Europe, built in 1896. All the best!
