« Stay At A St Petersburg Russia Hotel To Launch Your City Tour Go Green And Enjoy An Eco-Getaway At An Orange, Virginia, Bed & Breakfast »
Where are you planning on travelling to this summer? I bet it is either somewhere famous, predictable, hot, and has a beach. What if I would tell you to think outside the box this year and choose a destination, which most people would not think about? A country where you have never been to, and maybe you are not even familiar with and is located in Central Europe? Hungary.
Visit Hungary’s capital city, Budapest first. It’s easy since most of the international flights arrive there. Make sure you spend at least a long weekend in the city since there are lots to do. Believe me, as a native Hungarian, I know. But before I introduce you the most important things to see and do in Budapest let me mention the language barrier first.
However before you travel, prepare! Buy a small dictionary, have the most used and important sentences translated for yourself in Hungarian so whatever the situation is you are covered. This is very important because although there are lots of people speaking foreign languages in Budapest, there might be times when these phrases will come useful. On the other hand most things are translated to English already since the city is well prepared for tourism.
First of all it is quite important where you are located during your visit. I would recommend staying in a hotel along the Danube if you can afford it since it is central, have very good public transport connections and last most importantly the view is gorgeous.
After dropping off the bags take a stroll along the river. You can do this on both the Buda and Pest side crossing over from one to the other on the famous bridges (Arpad Bridge, Margaret Bridge, Chain Bridge, Elizabeth Bridge, Liberty Bridge, Petofi Bridge, Lagymanyosi Bridge), which all worth taking a look at! If you want to see breathtaking views of the city climb up to Gellert Hill or to the Fishermen’s Bastille. To learn more about Hungarian history visit the National Museum.
