10 Reasons Why you MUST Visit BUDAPEST! | A Local’s Travel Guide to Hungary

10 Reasons Why you MUST Visit BUDAPEST! | A Local’s Travel Guide to Hungary

are you looking for your next holiday destination 
a historic European city with a colorful and vibrant atmosphere and also some excellent food 
then let me share with you 10 reasons why you must visit Budapest I’m a local born and raised 
here and I’m passionate about sharing as much as possible about this exciting and beautiful city 
Budapest may not be perfect but I’m sure by the end of this video you’ll know why I love it so 
much In the middle of the city runs the Danube River and this cuts Budapestt into two very 
distinctive parts This feature of the city highlights the stark contrast between Buddha 
and Pesht Buddha is full of hills There’s more nature more green spaces here and it offers a more 
laid-back and relaxing atmosphere However Pesht is generally more flat It has many different kinds 
of neighborhoods a more vibrant night life and a much more busier atmosphere [Music] Another thing 
that I absolutely love about this city is that it offers so many different experiences If you enjoy 
history we have places like the Buddha Castle but we also have hip colorful and lively neighborhoods 
a network of narrow and small streets to get lost in We also have many lush and peaceful parks If 
you’re looking for a place to relax and chill So in the end no matter what your interests are 
or what you enjoy the most for sure this city will offer something that you will absolutely 
fall in love with One of my hobbies is to take photographs And thankfully here in Budapest 
there are just so many interesting sites to see where you can take some gorgeous photos And 
trust me you don’t need a expensive camera like I’m running around with You have your phone 
which means that wherever you go whatever you see you will get some amazing views and you can 
take some amazing pictures and then share your magical experience you had here in Budapest on 
Instagram for example And if you’re interested what type of photographs I take then check out 
my Instagram account Link is in the description One of the best features of the city in my opinion 
is that most of the attractions are not located in some sort of a central area They are actually 
spread out across the city And that is great because of two reasons One of those reasons is 
that if you go to some of these places then you will not see a huge crowd It’s not overcrowded 
Thankfully more and more people are coming here to the city It’s getting more and more popular 
And we do hope that the city will do something in the future to kind of counter the future over 
tourism But right now wherever you go you will never feel overwhelmed And the other great thing 
is that if you want to get from one attraction to the other you can do that in multiple ways There 
are different public transport routes or you can also walk from one place to the other And if you 
do walk that gives you the opportunity to find some off-the-beaten more hidden places and gems 
that the city has to offer One of the strengths of Budapest is its public transport network because 
it allows you to get from one place to the other quickly efficiently and in a cheap way We also 
have an app for our phones that helps us to plan our routes from one attraction to the other Plus 
you can also get some digital tickets on your phone as well However there’s an additional plus 
for those who are seniors or people with larger families because if you are 65 years or older you 
can ride the Budapest public transport system for free And if you have a family with a child who’s 
6 years or younger that child also uses the public transport for free And children under 14 of age 
can ride it with a discount So there’s a big plus even for those who have larger families or who are 
seniors and another reason why they should visit Budapest By the way if you enjoy the work that we 
do and would like to support us you can do so via the thanks button Through that you can send us 
some donations but you can also check out some of our merch via the link in the description or

that they have clicked the join button and through that they have become a member of our stuffed 
cabbage community Thank you so much everyone for joining us And now let’s get back to the video 
Now I like to refer to Hungary and Budapest as the cultural melting pot of Europe because even 
before our ancestors the old Hungarians came here to the great Hungarian plains Many different 
civilizations have shaped our culture today We can thank the Romans for example for our excellent 
wine production here in the country But even during the Ottoman Empire’s rule that’s when we 
got the thermmouffs and thermobbuff culture became an important part of our heritage And if you 
walk the streets of Budapest you will see these magnificent old classical buildings which were 
influenced during the time of the Hapsburg Empire And thanks to how over history many of these 
influences have shaped our identity and culture here in Budapest if you walk the streets today you 
will see so many nationalities being represented And for me that is one of the most exciting 
things that I can look forward to whenever I go into the city center And that also brings 
me to my next topic which is about restaurants If you enjoy food then you will love Budapest 
because the Hungarian dishes we have here are simple delicious maybe a little bit heavy but 
every bite will be just amazing However thanks to all the different cultures that we have here 
in the city many different cuisines can also be found Like for example 15 years ago it was really 
difficult to find an excellent ramen place but today there are just so many it’s really difficult 
to choose one And on top of that we have excellent Asian places We have some really really good 
Italian places some award-winning pizza places So whatever you want to taste if you come to Hungary 
the local cuisine will blow you away And you can try many different dishes from all over the world 
So Budapest is located in central Eastern Europe and it is an exocialist country And because of 
that a lot of people may believe that this is not actually a really safe place But trust me over 
the last 20 to 30 years Budapest became super safe Whenever I walk around the streets I never really 
fear that there’s going to be a pickpocket There’s never going to be someone who tries to scam me 
And trust me I walk around with a huge camera all the time Wherever I go they think that I am also 
a tourist But I never feel that someone is out there to just take my money away And many of you 
have been leaving comments saying how enjoyable was visiting Budapest and how stress-free was 
your experience Maybe that is because when you watched our video about the 15 things you must 
know about Budapest you heard about some of the things you should definitely look out for like 
which taxis you should take and what type of scams there may or may not be out there But if 
you haven’t seen that then make sure to check out that video perhaps after this one Another 
exciting feature of the city is that no matter what time of the year you come here for sure there 
will be some seasonal specific event Perhaps it’s a festival that is focusing just on food or drinks 
like wine and beer But for music enthusiasts every year we have the Sigot Festival where for one week 
you can enjoy music conveniently located close to the city or once a year there is also the Formula 
1 Grand Prix located close to Budapest and easily accessible from here in the city center But if 
you enjoy the colder seasons if you come here during winter time we have the Christmas market 
So it doesn’t matter which time of the year you come for sure there will be something exciting 
for you to experience When the sun sets people often try to spend their time in two different 
ways Some try to look for something more active and more lively and go for a night out with 
some drinks And in Budapest you can have many different kinds of experiences If you enjoy wine 
with a few snacks or you want to sample some craft beer or get some tasty cocktails for sure 
there will be a bar here in the city just for you But if you wish to slow things down for the night 
the areas which are really busy during the day will become more quiet during the night And some 
of the most famous areas where there’s tons of crowds usually will feel like you have the whole 
place all to yourself So these were 10 reasons why we believe you must visit Budapest But if I can 
add an 11th one that would be that visiting this wonderful city gives you the chance to fall in 
love not only with Budapest but also with Hungary and Hungarian culture because this country has 
so many more unique historic cities small and cute villages and natural beauty And if you want
