Results for Budapest, Magyarország

Margaret island is located in the middle of the Danube in the center of Budapest. With its huge parks, sport centers, swimming pools and promenades, it is the one of the most beloved recreational areas in the Hungarian capital. You can come here to chill, have a picnic, take a nap in the shade, excercise or hang out in one of the restaurants and bars.

To truly experience the essence of Budapest, you shouldn't miss out on visiting the city's famous ruin bars. These are quirky, fun bars and cafés located in abandoned, old or ruined buildings. They have mismatched furniture mostly from yard sales or antique shops, random decorations and a very unique atmosphere. Ruin bars are not only places for drinks: they are institutions! Many of them organize live concert, exhibitions, farmer's markets, beer or wine tastings, flea markets, craft fairs, open-air cinema screenings and various events that are not only appealing for the tourists but also for locals. Basically, they have something to offer for everyone. They are perfect melting pots of fun, entertainment, underground culture and gastronomy. I highly recommend you visiting them during the evening AND also during the day as they have incredibly different vibes. During the day, they are great places for grabbing a cup of coffee or a light meal, a few people are even sitting there with their laptops, doing work! During the evening, the ruin bars become more and more lively, people start to have drinks and as the night progresses, many of these bars turn into clubs where you can dance the night away.

If you want to have a break from the sightseeing, get a different perspective on the Hungarian capital city or you just need to escape the urban environment, these parks and recreational areas are the perfect green oases in Budapest. They are easily accessible by public transport, by bike or by foot so you don't necessarily need a car or a taxi to visit them.

What makes a sightseeing tour fun? Especially when kids are around? Conventional tour buses are okay, but I rather try to find alternative ways to explore a city. For this, I have an amazing idea. 🤩 Budapest has been conquered by mini sculptures made by Mihály Kolodko - a Ukrainian sculptor, who moved to Budapest in 2017. These mini sculptures are mostly made out of metal & after installation, he usually posts only a photo (maybe a hint) on socials, about the location of the new addition. IMAGINE a family approved sightseeing tour in Budapest, where the small child(ren) can play ’treasure hunt’ searching for these art installations, 🕵🏼 while the whole family gets a unique glimpse of Budapest’s city center. Personally, I love unique ideas & for me it would be a perfect alternative approach for a traditional sightseeing tour.

Budapest is a super affordable, yet rich in Hungarian history, architecture & culture. Many people visit for a long weekend. However Hungary is way more than just goulash & Budapest. 1 hour away from the city and you're in another world. In an ASIAN world. 🎎 We spent one of our favorite autumn weekends in Cserhát-mountain, when our little girl was 1 year old. The best part of this weekend was that we visited these locations following a special Asian theme. The itinerary is totally toddler-approved! My husband and I have loved Asia for a decade now. He lived in Japan, and I have a deep connection with South-Korea. Needless to say, with such a background, everything Asian related is a little closer to our hearts.
