Budapest Vacation Guide

The capital of Hungary, Budapest is considered one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Straddling the mighty Danube River, the city is full of parks, museums, and plenty of architecture ranging from baroque, neo-classical, art nouveau and beyond, and it's easy to see why more than 20 million people every single year come to the city. Once the center of European culture, the city is full of majesty and wonders from eras long since passed, ranging from epic buildings like the Royal Palace on Castle Hill, to the National Gallery, the historical Museum of Budapest, or the world-famous Danube Bridges. There are literally dozens of museums, churches, synagogues and more, and you can lose yourself for days just wandering the streets of bygone eras.

However, Budapest isn't just about the architecture and history, although it definitely plays a major part of the city’s appeal. The State Opera House is considered one of the best opera halls in Europe, and there are plenty of places to experience the artistic side of things, from the Palace of the Arts to the Theatre Madach. In addition, the city is renowned for its spas, which are the last remnants of Turkish influence left remaining in Budapest. These range from traditional Turkish bath houses to the more modern “spa” settings that are so common in the Western parts of the world. There are also several cave systems to go spelunking in, if you happen to enjoy some underground fun.

Hungarian cuisine, beer, and wine are all exceptional. You cannot say that any visit to Hungary is complete without sampling Tokaji, which is a unique Hungarian wine from the region of Tokaj-Hegyalja, and has been the focus of accolades for centuries, being the favorite of many European leaders over the years. Combined with world-famous dishes like the traditional goulash, the restaurants of Budapest alone are worth the trip, and you will definitely leave a changed person, especially after a few glasses of Tokaji.

Ahh, the first day of the New Year and I’m a little slow, a little hung over and feel like I could eat the plastic fruit that is on Aunt Katy’s dining room table. It’s still a little wet outside and the cold is keeping me from wanting to get up. So I’m fighting the desire for food with th…
