Budapest - the city of golden bridges

প্ৰকাশিত: 08.11.2017

After turbulent 2 months at the beginning of the year, I decided to take a short trip. Budget - well, what the student wallet allows. Culture should be included, a bit of nightlife is also not wrong, the opportunity to try good local food and some time to clear my head. Thankfully, it's quite easy within Europe to find a suitable trip and then just hop on a plane.

As often as not, I let the travel roulette decide - Budapest, here I come. Departure from Berlin was very early, but also an early arrival and of course more of the first day. Before departure, as always, the slight nervous stomach tingling and then off we go. The approach to Budapest was fantastic, how the Danube winds through the landscape. From the airport there is direct bus connection (line M200E) to the first metro station and from there you can easily reach the city center - said and done, I used the Budapest Card for this stay (free use of public transport, entrance to some museums, as well as a visit to the thermal bath and other services) -> for a short trip, however, I would not recommend it.

When I arrived in the center, the sun welcomed me - it was cool, but as long as the sun shines on my face, the temperature doesn't matter, right?

I already withdrew money at the airport, so I could go straight to the Danube with Hungarian forints in my pocket. My rumbling stomach subtly reminded me to have breakfast. I found a small café right on the Danube and enjoyed tea and sandwiches. Strengthened, I set off for my first walk along the Danube and searched for my hostel. It was located near the main street, overlooking the big river. I was immediately welcomed friendly - met an Englishman and a French couple and thus the evening program was also secured ;-). In the evening, the illuminated city and the Danube e are simply beautiful, I could have sat on the bank forever and just pressed the trigger of my camera. This calmness, hardly any traffic, although it is the main road, and the gentle rustling of the Danube.

And even during the day, the Hungarian capital is a sight to behold - from the Fisherman's Bastion to the Parliament Building right on the banks of the Danube - fantastic. The Danube divides Budapest into the districts of Buda & Pest. With the many bridges, it is easy to get from one side to the other. I recommend taking a ride on the old, traditional tram, the tracks run along the Danube and you can admire many of the most important sights. My tip: rather the nostalgic tram (line 2), than the expensive hop-on/hop-off bus.

After my wanderings through Budapest, visiting various museums, I enjoyed Hungarian goulash and langos on the grand market - a poem. Unfortunately, I didn't get around to visiting a traditional thermal bath - since my flight was cancelled at short notice and I had to leave one evening earlier - by bus across Europe to Berlin...

But Budapest is worth a trip and I will certainly not have been there for the last time!
