Hungary is a heart-stealer; it will lure you back again and again to sample its rich wines, lounge in its thermal spas, gaze at its bird life and make one more attempt to master its hermetic language. It has all the luxury of western Europe with a Magyar twist and at half the cost.
Its graceful capital Budapest has a lively arts, cafe and music scene, and is host to a range of cultural and sporting festivals. In the countryside you'll find majestic plains, resort-lined lakes, Baroque towns, horse markets and rustic villages.

The buildings in Eastern Europe are quite deceptive. While they often state a date of the initial build, this s probably the first of many builds. Many building were destroyed when the Ottoman empire took over, in the uprising in 1848, during ... Read more >

Started the day at St Stephens Basilica. Of course, we climbed to the top. The smog was far more evident today. But it was a good view and challenging getting up through the tower – I got quite dizzy from all the circular stairs.... Read more >

Started the day at the Heroes square which celebrates those who founded Hungary in the 9 th century. It is a great statue but I must say the 7 leaders look like serious elders from Lord of the Rings. From there we went to the Vajdahunyad ... Read more >

On the move again, exciting but also a bit of stress; no problem. We packed up and Tim made a 'last supper soup' for breakfast. Although it sounds like crap (and Mom thought there was everything other than the kitchen sink) it was delicious.... Read more >
