We LOVED BUDAPEST!!!!
There was so much to do, see, eat, drink, smell, listen to and so much more. We struck gold and happened upon flats to rent for short periods of time instead of the whole hostel scene. The first was a private room in an old womans flat just off the Danube river. She would make us tea and coffee in the morning and help us with are pronunciation with our Magyar (Hungarian).
The other accommodations we found were two private flats that we kept for a little over a week. This made it feel a little more like home and allowed us not to pick up Backpacks for a long time which was an amazing break or intermission in our three month adventure.
Budapest is So beautiful. The Danube river is very wide and splits the two cities of Buda and Pest very eloquently. Once a day we would go up to the Buda palace and either go to a museum or gallery or just have a picnic over looking the entire city.
The food was very good and full of the Paprika flavor and well grease but in a very flavorful and purposeful way. The sausage and vegetables were always sided by some sauerkraut and then there were the Langos. I cannot describe to you what this simple yet exquisite delicacy meant to me and how it affected me on our trip.
We lucked out in Budapest and got to see a Ballet and a Philharmonics Concert. The Budapest Opera House is World renowned and luckily sells tickets as low as 800 Forint($4).
Like the title says there is something in Budapest for everyone. It is so hard to explain what captivated us the most about this city but it did and we fell in love with it and the people.
