I arrived here late and had a delicious fish soup with traditional Hortobagy pancakes. Delicious. Also, they have German and Czech beer
My hotel gave me a great discount for this breakfast menu, and I am glad because this is a cafe I will find next time I return to Budapest. The breakfast was big and perfect way to start the day. At night it doubles as a Jazz Cafe. I'd love to see that.
Another fine historic cafe in Budapest. The Central Cafe has been serving up fine food and amazing sweets since 1887. I always come here for coffee and cake when I'm in Budapest, and I hope you do the same.
I went to Budapest at Christmas, so I was spoiled for choice. I tried hard to be a 'typical tourist' and go for 'typical Hungarian food'. Therefore, I had Langos, Goulash in Soup and Beef pancakes.
I was lucky enough to find these guys in the Christmas markets in Budapest. I believe they are mobile, so I hope you are lucky as i was, or maybe you can locate them via facebook? Worth the effort - best Langos I have ever had.
Far from the best gallery I have visited but still worth a look - especially just to be in this wonderful building high atop the Buda side of the river, in what used to be a palace.
Also known as Sziget Eye, this was a very special part of my christmas holiday. As I learned with the London eye, these things are best viewed at night.
It's impossible to NOT see the parliament building, though I recommend you should see it from a river boat. I was especially happy with the RED hop-on-hop-off bus company
I cannot recommend this higher. It's a great way to see the city and opportunistic way to get from A-B with audio guide included. The highlight of this tour is the river cruise. Well worth the money and would definitely do again.
This is the perfect place to relax after walking around Budapest for a few hours and days. I went in the christmas holidays, so after walking the chilly streets, freezing to the bone, it was amazing to strip-off, down to my speedos and RUN for the bath :O
