Pros: Great History, Museums, Food and Women. Cons: People a little bit cold, not as cheap as you would think.
I have say that I enjoyed Hungary immensely. We flew with British Airways to Budapest Ferihegy airport, and if you're an American, you probably will too via Heathrow as I'm pretty sure nobody flies direct except Malev, US airlines preferring their ...
Pros: Many places to visit. Easy to get around. Cons: Not a "must see" city.
Little atmosphere.
Budapest is an attractive city. Its crumbling splendour has a certain charm, and if you catch the weather and light in a certain way, down by Chain bridge, you could be mistaken for thinking that Budapest is one of the great European cities. But ...
Pros: Beautiful, clean, romantic and quiet city, very good food, wonderful gipsy music. Cons: No longer a cheap city but an expensive one, people are not very friendly.
I just came back from a trip to Budapest and Rome. Though my husband was intending to go to Rome only, I managed to convince him to add Budapest to our trip, and make it a little longer. From what I had seen in pictures and had heard, I had been dreaming...
Several months ago, faced with the "horrible" problem of having some free airline vouchers to use before they expired, we needed to make a decision, "Where shall we go?". Having just returned from an extended trip, our resources were...
Pros: Relaxing and refreshing experience, inexpensive, long list of services Cons: Many staff members don't understand English
Traveling can be exhaustive at times. Backpacking can be even more exhaustive without the luxury of a private bathroom. Or a clean shared bathroom. Or if you spend your nights in a tent, chances are you don’t even have an access to a daily shower and you...
Pros: Inexpensive. Picturesque. Very family-centered people. Wonderful food. Excellent transportation. Cons: They can't understand you; you can't understand them. Hungarian language is unique.
The only airport in the country is Budapest; all other intracountry travel is by train. There is ...
Pros: Beautiful architecture and atmosphere, un-touristy yet friendly, relatively inexpensive prices, excellent public transport. Cons: I only had a week to stay!
Hi, I'm Diana, I'm 19, and I'm a travel junkie. I also have overly-worry-prone parents, so most of my traveling is "committed" without their knowledge. So if you're in my situation, do read on!
Pros: Inexpensive, great food, beautiful women, rich culture and history, architecture. The "Old-World" feeling. Cons: Language, under-developed infrastructure, tourist groups clogging the airport and sights.
I got the opportunity to go to Hungary in September 2003. My friend's wife is a native-speaker and spends half of the year there. Having a translator, driver, cultural guide, and apartment all proved invaluable, as there are a lot of intangibles about t ...
Pros: Magnificent city, interesting,
Cons: parts can be run down, pollution can cause problems for outsiders now and then.
Overview:
Budapest is one of the few cities in the world were so many different influences, cultural, political, architectural come together in such a small area. In Budapest one will find the traditional central/eastern European onion-domed church...
Pros: A romantic, timeless city filled with architectural wonders Cons: Some parts of the city (especially in Pest) are a bit neglected and run-down. Can't hail a taxi on the street.
As an amateur photographer, I know I often choose to photograph a place using black and white film because it lends a certain old world elegance and timeless quality to the picture, so that even a photograph of a very modern city can look antique. In...
Pros: a good mixture of western and eastern europe, inexpensive, not overcrowded with tourists Cons: sights are not overwhelmingly impressive, less westernized, and less clean, than e.g. Prague
Though I knew very well that it had been years since the collapse of the Iron Curtain, nothing prepared me for how westernized Budapest actually is in the present day. The only remnant of Communism I could immediately distinguish was the rather large...
Pros: Interesting dining scene with innovative restaurants serving high quality food Cons: Not every restaurant falls into that category
Before traveling to any destination, I always make a point of researching the restaurants in that city. Because I feel dining well is such an integral part of a good vacation, I have on occasion even eliminated a city or two from my "to visit"...
Pros: Great affordable food, Friendly people, Thermal baths, A lot to see, 1000 year old history. Cons: Pick pocket gipsies, Polution, Taxi drivers rip you blind if you don't watch out.
Hello
Travel to Budapest
The day I was supposed to fly to Hungary was Sept 11 / 2001. I did not fly that day due to the fact that all flights that day were cancelled.
The very next flight I could get on, was...
Pros: peaceful beauty Cons: the walk up the hill if the funicular is down
I went to Budapest not knowing how much time I was going to spend there. I ended up spending only two and a half days, but one of them was spent in the Castle District. There were many other things that I wanted to visit in the city, and I had only...
Pros: Beautiful, affordable, accessible Cons: Language. Resourcefulness required to go off the beaten path
Review Topic: Overview
After a family trip to Vienna, mom and I hopped off to Budapest for a long weekend, and it turned out to be everything that Vienna was not!
The boys went to Singapore. Now, I was impressed with...
