The mighty city of Budapest has a rich history that reached its peak during the Austro/Hungarian empire. I was dropped in the suburbs, but the efficient subway takes you to the city center. I got welcomed in the hostel by some dodgy looking, but very friendly people and a free bottle of wine and other goodies. I took two very long strolls through the city and marvelled at the Hungarian Parliament, Castle Hill, the wide Danube, the Great Market, the Jewish District and more broadly the city's architecture.
The Hungarian language is not related to any other language in the world. Oddly only Finnish has some similarities. But people speak well English or German as a second language. Thus they cater their international tourists very well.
Buda and Pest separated by the Danube river. Many luxuries river boats go all the way from Germany to the Black Sea. After 2 nights I left towards Vienna, but 2 weeks later I came back for one more night as a stopover.
