With only a short amount of time in Hungary we knew Budapest had to be the place to visit, travel and vlog. Today was exploring the Buda side of the city starting with Chain Bridge, then up to Buda Castle and further around to Fishermans Bastion.
The Chain Bridge has so many interesting stories about it's build, but we love the story of the Hungarian stunt pilot flying underneath, year before we visited in 2018.
Walking over the Chain Bridge we arrived at the base of the Buda Castle, aka Budapest Castle. There was a festival on so we couldnt get full access to the Castle grounds sadly, but the view back over the city of Budapest and the Chain Bridge made it worth it.
Further around to Fishermans Bastion we discovered the most epic little church, more views of Budapest and hundreds of people. Definitely walk the back streets of Fishermans Bastion and get lost in the little lane ways.

I love Budapest so much!
Us too!
Én is
what a wonderful city! from the philippines
Thanks Bryan - very cool city! Salamat :)
Budapest looks so nice
It really is, one of our new favs we need to explore more.
We go to Budapest in October. Can't wait. Planning to do a few videos.
bring warm clothes for the nights
Definitely. I've just bought another coat and I have a few fleeces :) Do stop by our channel too :)
I LOVE MY COUNTRY 😍😍😍😍 im coming hommmmmeeee töltött káposztaaa mamaaaaa jövök !
It's a beautiful country :)
Wow, You speak correctly word "BudapeSt" at the beginning. It is rare. :-)
We were trying the whole time, but sometimes would forget to say it correctly! Thanks for watchig
We loved Fisherman's Bastion and found it too crowded in the day but at midnight in a thunderstorm we had the place basically to ourselves and the photos turned out amazing
Ahhh thats the secret right there! Night time storms!
How great are you folks. I'm planning to visit Budapest in the end of September. So your videos are perfect for helping me plan the journey. Thanks
Happy we can help - you're in for an amazing trip!
8:23 Those bastions look like the Disney intro, because Walt Disney is hungarian, and those were the inspiration to the intro. :)
Hello guys, I am from Hungary and they usually close the Chain Bridge for 5 weekends during the summer school holiday to make it entirely walkable for pedestarians. Greetings and keep up the good work.
Thanks for that! Guess we were just really lucky with our timings then, awesome.
Lots of love to Hungary from Poland! 😉
Budapest is so beautiful
Delighted to see that Daneger and Stacey were so clearly enthralled by Budapest. It has got to be the most alluring and fascinating city I personally have ever visited and I'm sure D & S do not regret having put it on their "must-see" list . Enjoyed this video very much - many beautiful memories . Thank you .
Thanks John - we definitely feel in love with Budapest quickly! Next time we’ll leave longer on our Visas to explore
Budapest is a great city to visit as there is a lot to do and see which is surprising considering its 20th century violent history. IMO the prices for dinning, travel and drink are pretty cheap compared to other European capital city. Most of the shop / retail shop staff speak pretty good English.
Great video BTW guys, a joy to watch
Cheers Tyson!
Nice city indeed! Thanks for sharing.
Budapest looks nice!😎
It's really nice!
Beautiful work!! Lovelovelove this video!! Can't wait to see your Croatia vlog. I missed out on Croatia this year but plan on going next year.
We'll be filming lots from Croatia, some city first and then a cruise!
I'm so happy you're visiting my country :D
Nice video, like the format and the editing with the facts&rumours bits.
Thanks for the feedback - we always try to include some other details :)
I'm from hungary!
:D
in budapest, the citadel is a very nice
Thanks for the recommendation!
I guess you were at the same time in Budapest as we were - and yes, it was a medieval festival (free admission), just one day before August 20th, which is a holiday in Hungary, and is even celebrated with a big firework. Unfortunately, we left the city on August 19th... so as I'm currently putting together an album of our photos from Budapest, your video was suggested to me by TH-cam. I'm very happy about that! It's a great video and very refreshing to see such a beautiful city from an other point of view!
I'm guessing that you filmed a few days ago...?
Was probably St. Stephen's Day (20th August each year) festival... :)
As a rule, I try to carry water & a Coke with me on big walking days...
Water for hydration, Coke for sugar replenishment (caffeine perk up also)...
Yeah it was a couple of days back, so maybe was that festival? Ahh yeah we totally should do the water bottle thing, but we never learn :)
If it was filmed on 20th of August than you missed the big fireworks. And PewDiePie was there too, he is on a vacation here :)
@@DanegerAndStacey It was not a festival, it's St Stephen's day, we celebrate the foundation of Hungary (over 1000 years ago). It's a national holiday.
We love Budapest! It's our fourth time here. The day you filmed that we were at Margaret Island enjoying the holiday.
great vlog as always!
🙏🏼thanks!
Good morning! Happy Sunday!!!!
🥉 3rd! Happy Sunday morning - hope you enjoyed :)
One of my Favorit city 🙏🏼
Would love a video showing how you communicate in all these countries! And recommendations for phrases I should learn before setting off!
Honestly English goes a very very long way! We have only had to learn the basics, just to be polite, and be able to say thank you and please etc. Then Google translate carries you a long way.
A lot of young folks speak English, even if just a little.
35 degrees! You are catching up the temperature that greeted us on landing in Siliguri, West Bengal a few days ago at 39 degrees! You have managed to capture a good deal of this beautiful city in a short time. Looking forward to what you make of it in a longer future stay!
Yiiikes! 39 isn't comfortable at all, hope you're surviving!
@@DanegerAndStacey Monsoon showers keeping it down to 32 degrees now lol
Totally agree with getting away from the tourist hotspots! But it can be hard when you're traveling full time 🤔
enjoy your stay you lovely peeps
Thank you!
I have a lot of videos to catch up since your Asia travels. 😀 sending love from NZ ❤️
Woooh we've had loads since Asia haha, you're gonna need a few days non-stop :P We're heading back to Asia later this year, actually excited for the change of pace.
this deserves way more views and likes!!
Thanks so much!
Hey!! notif squad
You fasssssst!! 🏆
Budapest kinda rocks ;)
Budapest totally rocks :)
Lovely city which needs to be visited sometime.Croatia next? Can't wait for that one.
Yup, Croatia next! Amazzzzzing place!
We also thought that church was one of the nicest we've seen. Looking forward to the Croatia vlogs. It's probably our favourite country! Where are you guys going there? - Trevor
Lovely, Budapest looks amazing. There is so much to see in Europe, you should move here and stay forever ;) BTW, can we expect vids from NZ when you come back home (not sure if someone already asked about that)?
We love Europe as well! But we also REALLY love Asia, it's so relaxed and the food is incredible. Yup - we'll do a few vids from NZ when we're back at xmas time.
Thank you for having visited us.
Thanks for having us, we loved it!
Oh you got robbed with that two bottles of water! Two bottle of them should be around 240 forints in a supermarket in Hungary.
Crazy huh!! Almost fainted when she handed the bill haha
Did anyone tell you that you really look like Diplo? I'm shoked! :D however, I'm really happy you like Budapest! hope you will comeback soon! xx
Haha yeah have been told that a few times, but Diplos grown his hear now and I aint doing that lol.
❤️💜💚💯💯💯 Budapest is L💙ve🌹🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
One little travel tip is to carry an insulated bottle with you - for water or iced coffee or something. It saves money and keeps things cool (or hot) for hours, and you don't have to worry about chucking plastic bottles. Keep up the travels!
100% we should do this... but we just never do. One day we'll pull it together haha.
If you are ever in Toronto we could go on an epic food tour together. Or I would be very happy to give you suggestions of places that I think that you would love.
very nice Video ,what camera used?
Peter Besenyei is the 1 who did and inventor of Red Bull air race as well
If it's hot, visit the spectacular dripstone caves on the Buda side. :) Which other major city has such caves?
If you go back there, I'd recommend visiting Margit sziget or Margit island. It's a cool island in the middle of the danube. Also the venue for the famous Sziget festival.
Thanks! We heard Margarit island was amazing, will stay longer next time
Margaret Island is amazing and is like the Central Park of Budapest. However, it is not the location of the famous Sziget Fesztival, which takes place on Shipyard Island (Hajógyári Sziget), the next island to the north on the Danube River.
ahhh nice vid guys. Yep Budapest has many faces, many good and also many bad like u mentioned the smell. But regadles all of these it is a very vibrant place. Also avoiding turist places is not that easy there. But all the common big city rules applie there as well. If you follow them there is not gonna be a problem. Water and drinks are cheap if you use stores like CBA, Spar, small stores within the highly populated turist places and 1st place goes to castle is Freakin expensive.
Going to Budapest in January. Any advice?
Did you stay for the fireworks over the river that evening?
@3:28, it would be nice if the human race could eventually eradicate the gene that needs to make graffiti on beautiful public monuments. Such a magnificent bridge, trashed by spray paint.
Lol we are the same.....my fiancé and I don’t like touristy 😂😂. How did you like Croatia? Prior to Budapest we spent 3 months in Split...amazing little town. We were fortunate to celebrate with them during the World Cup. A sight to see being from Los Angeles.
We just got to Split last night, on a cruise now but seemed like a cool place - but pricier than Zagreb by a long way. Jealous that you got to see the world cup with them
Daneger and Stacey yah it was a little pricey....Enjoy!! Love you guys Vlogs!!
Didn’t expect you would be able to walk on the bridge. How come you haven’t done drone shots for sometime? I saw that bridge and remembered Will Smith’s Keke challenge. Tourist menu? Hehe never heard that
Apparently it only happens 4 times a year or something, so we were lucky the bridge was closed! We don’t bother with the risk of getting in trouble with the drone, flying in cities is pretty much illegal everywhere so we’re just selective. Lots to come from our Croatia cruise though no doubt!
Daneger and Stacey awesome
Check out Marlow's bridge in the UK ;-)
I am from Hungary ❤
Are you planning on going to Germany? They have the best castles there!
We visited a friend in Berlin a few months back, made a few videos, and loved it! But only experienced the city life. Germany was fascinating to us, we definitely will go back but not this year. We're all out of our Schengen.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge By 1945, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge was already destroyed for quiet some time. After ww2, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge was completely rebuilt and slightly modified and somewhat based on century old designs by Soviet engineers and Soviet soldiers. The Soviet workers and soldiers were mostly of Ukrainian descent and of Russian descent. This was on the orders of Joseph Stalin. The steel and other materials of the prezent structure built right after ww2 came from the Soviet Union. The materials of the 1849 original bridge came from England.
Fun fact! The original Buda Castle is not this one and is located completely elsewhere :)
I live here, nearby the Parliament
It would be cool if at the start of every new country you did a "country count" to see how many you have covered so far 😁
That's actually a really good idea. We've discussed it, but not sure what to do. I've been to 30 something countries (Dane) Stace has been to 20 something, and we've vlogged maybe 10-15 or so. What number to we use haha!! ?? Send help.
@@DanegerAndStacey i think the ones you have vlogged together on this channel so far! 😋😎
Haha ok - thanks!!
Now I see why they use Budapest as a model city
Hello guys, If this video was recorded on 20th August (which is a public holiday in Hungary) the Chain Bridge was closed because of the fireworks. See video here: th-cam.com/video/dvqLQjXz-s0/w-d-xo.html (Historical background: "Hungary's first king St. Stephen's Day, also the day of the Foundation of Hungary and "the day of the new bread". St. Stephen of Hungary (Szent István király in Hungarian) (ca. 975 - 15 August 1038), as the first king of Hungary, led the country into the Christian church and established the institutions of the kingdom and the church. He was canonized on 20 August 1083, and 20 August is his feast day in Hungary. Celebrated with a half-hour fireworks display on the bank of the Danube in the evening, which is attended by many people on both river banks and is watched by many from the hills on the Buda side of the river and from the rooftops of both Pest and Buda.")
What is your favorite country in Europe and how does stack up against newzealand
Ohhh that's an enormous question. Budapest is now one of our fav cities, but we havent seen enough of Hungary to say it's the best country... Poland would have to be relatively high because we explored a lot and Croatia (where we are now) is speeding up the list very fast.
in fact roof tiles at that church are the same which were used in Vienna for the st.stephan cathedral. The reason- they were one huge empire- Austro-Hungarian, which big cities-Vienna, Budapest and Prague, had competition between each other which one will look better at the time. The Parliament in Budapest is was thought to resemble the one in London, however, to be bigger and better looking...although, honestly there was no so many politicians back in the days, and there were no need in such humongous building...however competition took its toll, and because all of those spendings were taken from the people in form of taxes, in the whole Empire, the Hungarians and Balkanik countries suffered for being the poorest.
Actually there were more politicians working in the building after construction than today. Hungary was 3 times as big as today, and it was originally a 2 chamber parliament. But of course, it was built also for representation purposes; Budapest was after all the capital of Austria-Hungary (one of the two).
the roof made by a famous hungarian family called Zsolnay, they product the beatiful porcelain things
In case anybody's interested here is the link to see the stunt pilot and the famous flip from 2001 at 2:25 th-cam.com/video/vZebAtxq5a0/w-d-xo.html
And another great video from 2014 th-cam.com/video/KOFsfMY7IPc/w-d-xo.html
BUDAPEST. ALATON ES MEG
Not my site here, my first 6 week long family visit to Budapest was in communist days in 1978. I was 23 and brought my 2 1'2 year old son from S. Ca. to Budapest . I was probably one of the only tourists at the time walking the streets. Even had "men in overcoats" following us around, even was asked for my passport at one point while just enjoying a drink with my husband. just weird now to see so many tourists acting like they "discovered" Budapest, I live here in Budapest now and can't hardly stand to walk around because of the overload of people in the city. In fact most locals can't enjoy their city because of all these 4 day tourists. Just think how the locals feel with so many people cramming the sidewalks and stopped to take photos that no one really is all that much interested in seeing. No one wants to live where they can't even walk outside without a looky lou everywhere. Budapest as turned in Disneyland.
Hello 👋🏻
