IN THE MOOD FOR BUDAPEST | What To See, Do & Eat in Budapest | The Ultimate Hungary Travel Guide
Budapest is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most remarkable jewels, the sparkling pearl of the Danube. It’s a city with a trove full of treasures, with an expansive history that gave birth to the Buda castle district where you’d feel like you’ve stepped back in time.
On the cosmopolitan city of Pest, saunter through UNESCO-listed boulevards that feature a stunning array of Art Nouveau buildings, discover countless world-class museums that you’d want to get lost into and visit basilicas and opera houses where you’d wax lyrical under their spell. Budapest knows how to live well, and has a proclivity to sophistication. In this city, you’ll find gorgeous century-old coffeehouses and sumptuous restaurants where you can whet your appetites in the city’s gastronomy that’s brimming with cross-continental cuisines and the fantastic Hungarian food and wine scene.
This is a city that also balances lifestyle and wellbeing, where you can relax and blow some steam in some of the city’s most incredible offerings, its magical thermal waters and spas. Then, like a jewel on its crown, there’s the spectacular river Danube, one of the great rivers of the world, flowing through Budapest, with riverside banks that are so historically significant, they’re preserved as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Enjoy this latest Budapest episode, and hope you'll be able to savour and enjoy this protean city as much as I did!

I have just been in Budapest, for the first time. It is indeed a splendorous city, vibrant, full of history. The Danube River there is amazing, specially when compared to its channeled passage through Viena. Incredible historic buildings, especially seen illuminated at night. And with Holocaust Remembrance sights to see, reflect, pray and pass along the message: never again !

I born in Budapest and I spend the first twenty years of my life there. I’m living in the US but I’m going to visit my family and friends every year. To watch this video makes me homesick because there are many places of childhood memories and I miss my parents so much. We lived at Buda side at Bartok Bela utca (street) next to the Gellert hill and the Duna (Danube). My first workplace was at the Alkotmany utca (street) very close to the Parliament. I’m coming in three months again this is the reason why I don’t have a very bad homesickness after this video. Thank you for sharing this valuable video!
These videos are criminally underrated!

Simply the best video on Budapest! Made my decision to head there and take in this refine city slowly! Janz, how long did you spend in Budapest? Do you feel two weeks is too much or perfect amount of time to take the city in?
During this video I felt like something is squeezing my heart, it was so magical and so romantic! I live in the countryside of Hungary and never liked Budapest. After I had to live there for a year, I still don't like it lol but I agree that the buildings in the city center are beautiful and its history is very rich.

(I’m Portuguese, and I live in Lisbon…) You told in the video that a central location for the hotel that we can choose in Budapest, will allow us to visit all the most iconic places, by walk; can you tell me where did you stayed? Was it an hotel?, an hostel?… Thank you very much for your precious help!!… 🙏🙏 Big hug from Lisboa! 🤗 José
