What people say

"Vajdahunyad Castle is located on an island accessible via four bridges in Municipal Park, Budapest's largest municipal park. The construction work on the building complex was completed in 1896, on the occasion of the celebrations of the thousandth anniversary of the foundation of the Hungarian state. Today it is considered a particularly interesting attraction because it bears the characteristics of numerous architectural styles such as Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and baroque. 👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Heroes Square (600m, 8min) Metro stop: Hosök tere, Line M1. 🎟️Ticket cost: full price 3,000 HUF (€7.25), reduced price 1,700 HUF (€4.10) 📌It is an unmissable stop in every season: if you go in the summer you can attend numerous events, in the autumn you can see the foliage and in the winter the lake freezes and you can skate on it."

Mentioned in these guides

A merger of two old cities in 1873 - Buda and Pest, separated by the Danube River - the capital of Hungary seems like a place out of a fairy tale. 🏰 With some castles here and some other majestic buildings there, I found it to be an elegant, chic and romantic city, with different cultural influences (such as Roman, Ottoman, Slavic, Jewish and Austrian). Known as the “Paris of the East” or the “Pearl of the Danube”, the city is also designated as the “City of SPAs”, therefore this guide includes a list of some famous thermal baths and SPAs, alongside dining/drinking and shopping venues. Of course, all the major tourist attractions are included, as well. ✨Must Do: go on an evening sightseeing cruise along the Danube! 🌶️Hungarian cuisine is synonymous with paprika. Few cuisines are quite so intertwined with a single ingredient as Hungary’s is with paprika — the spice that gives some of the country’s best-known dishes their intense orange colour and characteristic peppery flavour. Paprika is made from the dried ground pods of several types of capsicum annuum pepper, and it comes in a range of heat levels from édes (sweet) to csipos (hot) and different levels of coarseness. In Budapest it’s sold everywhere, from small grocery stores to local food markets, where small-scale producers sell it by the kilogram in unlabelled plastic bags. For the highest quality, seek reputable family producers such as Hódi or PaprikaMolnár.
