First things first, Budapest (pronounced boo-duh-pesht) is officially my second favorite city in Europe. There's still plenty of room for that to change given that I've only been to seven European countries, but for now, Budapest is in line right behind Prague.
Buda from Pest |
It's big, but not that big. (Two cities in one!)
It's walkable.
It's affordable.
There's a healthy drinking culture.
They have amazing food.
They have a millionty spa baths.
I could basically stop right there and be satisfied (with this blog post that is), but I know you would be disappointed so I'll delve further into our 2.5 days in Budapest.
