My big mistake? Only spending the day here! Budapest, Hungary: one of Europe's great cities.

Today I arrive in Budapest at the start of my journey east which will eventually take me to Chisinau Moldova. But I had a few hours here to try and tire myself out before the overnight train. Join me on a quick run round a city that clearly deserved more time!
Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me!

    ​​@@steve-marsh you know why Moldova exists? Because in Romania there's a 5.5% Hungarian MINORITY whose party has 18% of the government (such a discrimination!😂). If Moldova,, with 82% of inhabitants of Romanian ethnicity, ever reunites with Romania, then the Hungarian party in Romania drops under the 5% threshold and so loses their lucrative and influential positions in the government! So they oppose with every tool they have, perpetuating the effects of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact 😢

    I am from Scotland but actually live in Budapest and it's a great city to live in with an impressive public transport system to get quickly from a to b frequently. The cost of living here is much lower than in the UK and at present Hungary has got the highest food inflation in Europe, so it's quite expensive for the locals who earn far lower wages than in the UK. I enjoyed your video and would urge you to come back and see much more of this beautiful city.

The abundance of food though was incredible compared to back home. But aye, I didn't even scratch the surface of this wonderful place, although I was happy to be able to just wander around, for some reason I'd expected it to be a sprawling city!

His most famous work is the Széchenyi Chain Bridge over the Danube River in Budapest, which was one of the longest bridges in the world when it opened."

    Lovely video, I went to Budapest for a week (the year of Eyjafjallajökull, the train home was absolutely packed with stranded air passengers), and have been back a few times, it's a gorgeous city. Some tips for a next time: the trams are much fun, especially rack line 60 up to the Children's Railway (which is exactly what it sounds like), metro line 1 is the oldest on the European continent, the main stations Nyugati and Keleti are some of the most beautiful European terminus stations IMO, the restaurant boat Vén Hajó in your video is a good place to eat (at least it was so many years ago, a bit touristy perhaps, but great food and a lovely spot), Margitsziget is great in Summer, as are the old bath houses. And of course, you should really visit one of the grand coffee houses, Gerbeaud, Central and New York are probably the most famous ones, but there are many other who do justice to the great Habsburgian coffee house tradition.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the video Steve. I would 100% recommend you returning to Budapest. It is without a doubt my favourite city in Europe against very stiff opposition but the last time we went we did 7 nights including a day trip to Vienna on the train and still felt we hadn’t covered enough. The Metro, Trams and buses are superb for getting around. My main recommendations are the Children’s Railway and the Zugliget chairlift both on the Buda side. A night walk up to the castle with views over the lit up Pest side will take your breath away.

    I have spent some time both sides of the river, this is a an interesting bridge too, Széchenyi Chain Bridge. The bridge was designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark in 1839, following an initiative by Count István Széchenyi, with construction supervised locally by Scottish engineer Adam Clark . The Parliament building and the city in general looks spectacular on a night river cruise. Great video Steve, thank you for posting.

Lot's to see and do, but definitely a place to return to once all the construction has finished, especially up at the Fisherman's Bastion. Safe travels! Quick edit, I forgot to mention I booked a stay at Strathardle Lodge for a trip next month based on your recommendations from the channel, they were saying that they actually had a couple who were staying there at the moment based on the very same reasons, nice one!
