NOW I understand why Budapest is so hyped & so incredibly popular | HUNGARY travel vlog

a couple of days in Budapest, Hungary and wow this place is spectacular! The old town feeling of Europe but in a large scale city feeling like London. Here's a little guide of some great places to check out while you're here! The only downside is there's SO much construction going on right now (check out the cranes everywhere in the footage) and for this reason we'd love to come back some day again!
For reference purposes, this video was filmed the first week of October, 2022.

The city under serious renovation and development. They renovate the whole castle area (work in progress) , the buiodings that was destroyed during ww2, the Chain Bridge is now finished, Gellert Hotel under renovation, house of music in City Park (finished) , the Ethnographic museum (finished) Margaret Island renovations (finished) new green Apartment parks instead of block of flats (mostly finished)
In all of hungary castles, Palaces are renovated (mostly finished) diósgyőr castle not finished yet its get back its original beauty,
The whole country is renewing and get back its beauty from before the war. And some modernity insted of comunist mementos or disturbing the skyline by skyscrapers

That New York Cafe….. wow 🤩 and I loved the views from the night cruise! ❤ how were the crepes? Probably the best looking crepes I’ve ever seen…

[@Laura-Leigh]

so beautiful right! and yeah they had their own style of crepes for sure, delicious but SO heavy - we couldn't finish them between us!

I have been to Budapest twice. Love it great city friendly people and the food is great. The Central Market is a stop than you will not forget. I want to go back.

I miss Budapest, I went to Szechenyi bath during the night on sat and they host techno music on the weekend. also Bratislava is a beautiful spot to visit for a night or 2.

[@Laura-Leigh]

ah yes I saw about how it also comes alive at night time, how fun! oh will have to look up Bratislava for sure then!

Hello ! Thank you so much for publishing this vlog, it was really pleasant to watch and aesthetically, it was so satisfying. Like a cozy cup of hot chocolate on a cold day 🥰
I am planning on going to Budapest probably in March (need to check if school allows it, but so far so good, fingers crossed!) so this really helped me! I do have a question though, what was the name of the restaurant with the risotto? That seemed really good, I want to check this place out 😍

[@Laura-Leigh]

oh I love that cosy comparison, thank you so much!!
The restaurant is called 'Belvárosi Lugas Restaurant' - direct link is also in the description! I highly recommend there I still can't stop think about their risotto.. have a great trip!💕
