Short trip to Budapest

Budapest is one of the best cities I have ever visited. A beautiful city that completely exceeded my expectations. I travelled with my best friend for a 2 night stay. On arrival at the hotel we purchased a 3 day Hop on Hop off open top sightseeing bus ticket. The ticket also included a day and evening cruise on the Danube and a night bus tour around Budapest.

18 June - Flew on the morning Ryan Air flight from Stansted to Budapest. A private car met us at the airport and transferred us to the centrally located 4* Estilo Fashion hotel. After lunch we boarded the bus and visited the Buda side of the city, Buda castle and the Citadella. In the evening we took a river cruise along the Danube. Budapest Ice Bar was located near our hotel, so we popped in for a nice chilled drink.

19 June - We walked across the bridge and spent a few hours at the Gellert Thermal baths. After lunch we took a cruise along the Danube, had a guided tour around Budapest Parliament, viewed the shoes by the Danube memorial and visited St Stephen's Basilica. At 6pm we boarded the bus for the night route tour. The iconic landmarks were all illuminated. 20 June - In the morning we hopped on the bus, visited landmarks and disembarked at the New York café. For lunch I had booked a table at the World's most beautiful café, located in the New York Palace hotel. Elegant surroundings with an orchestra playing. Later in the evening a private car transferred us to the airport for our flight back to Stansted.

Budapest really does offer so much for a city break. Lovely pavement cafes offering reasonably priced food and drinks.

If you don't want to visit in the summer Budapest hosts a Christmas Market that runs from late November to 1st January.
