Szia Budapest!!

The vibrant city of Budapest is divided into two distinct parts: Buda and Pest. These two districts are beautifully split by the flowing Danube River, creating the historic metropolis of Budapest. This city, the capital of Hungary, is renowned for its breathtaking architecture and natural beauty.

Just a few meters from the Parliament, you’ll discover the divine Hungarikum bisztro restaurant, a must-visit for those eager to immerse themselves in authentic local cuisine. It’s recommended to book early to secure a table.

Two typical dish to try is the traditional Goulash and Paprikash. Goulash is a stew made with beef, onions, Hungarian paprika, tomatoes, and served with either potatoes or vegetables. Paprikash is chicken in a creamy sauce served with dumplings or a type of pasta. Both dishes are excellent, so do not miss them out.

Hungary’s richness in thermal and mineral water is renowned, making its baths a must-visit (like Széchenyi), especially during the cooler months. Immersing yourself in a warm thermal bath offers a unique Hungarian experience you’ll absolutely love.

Across the river, Buda, on the western bank, presents a hilly terrain, perfect for hiking enthusiasts looking for an adventure amidst nature . From this district, you will have an incredible view of Pest with the Hungarian Parliament.
