It’s been almost 5 years since I traveled to Budapest.
Back in 2013 when my boyfriend (now husband) suggested it as one of the stops for a multi city Europe vacation I was planning I was like whattttt??? Budapest? Where is that and why do we want to go? Long story short, it’s in Hungary and that is where his family is from.
What I didn’t realize is that I would be exploring one of the most underrated cities with amazing medieval architecture, cool Turkish baths and several historic bridges. OH & they have a love for goulash and paprika… 2 things I am not a fan of to be honest but if that’s your thing – go for it.
Here are 12 photos that will make you want to visit Budapest:
- Hungarian Parliament Building – how stunning is this structure?
2. Not too shabby at night either….
3. Thermal Baths! While there are many around the city, The Széchenyi Bath is one of the most popular ones.
4. Gelato Rose?! YES, please.
5. In a city filled with history, the Shoes on the Danube is one of the most moving memorials in Europe.
6. Ride in style while visiting Margaret Island.
7. The Fisherman’s Bastion is one of my favorite spots in Budapest. You get the absolute BEST panoramic view across the Danube, Margaret Island and Pest!

8. Hop on the Buda Castle Hill Funicular to give your feet a break and for this view.
9. What’s better than a pedicure? A Fish pedicure.
10. On one of our last nights in town, we stopped into Buddha-Bar randomly for a drink. They had a private event going on and we were invited to join in on the fun! The atomsphere in this place is amazing. Stop in for delicious food, yummy drinks and great music.
11. One of my favorite phrases is “Always make sure you look up” – the Budapest Opera House is the perfect example why.
12. New York Café – The most beautiful cafe in the world.
Awesome post, Budapest looks so beautiful! I also saw the poll you posted on Instagram today. I noticed too when I got the email about this post that it wasn’t your typical travel recap but I think these are awesome and would love to see more.
You had me at GELATO ROSE!
That thermal bath is huge! Love the post.
Really nice photos. I’ve been to Budapest myself. I was really impressed. It was in my pre-blogging days, but I think I can still find some great shots I took there. Or maybe I should just jaunt away for a couple of days again.
Wow! The Fisherman’s Bastion reminds me of Prince Eric’s Castle!
everything looks so luxurious! I would love to hop in those thermal baths!
What a nice collection of photos you’ve put together! 🙂
One of my friends lived in Budapest for almost a year and she kept saying it is underrated. The exact same word you used. I’m more and more curious about this place. Your photos are beautiful. This gelato rose is very cute too!
Budapest is so high on our bucket list. What a gorgeous city! The white castle reminds my of something from a fairy tale not real life. And a fish pedicure. I’m going to have to give that a try.
Lovely! Budapest is my favorite city in Eastern Europe. Been there twice and I haven’t gotten enough of it.
I’m totally in! This was an excellent collection of pictures. Yes please, get me on a long flight to budapest. I just recently renewed my passport.
I’ve been wanting to visit Budapest for a while now and these photos only make me want to plan my trip sooner – THAT ICECREAM IS GOALS haha 🙂
I’ve always wanted to visit Hungary and Budapest specifically. Not sure if I needed the photos but they highlighted the beauty of the place. I was so bummed when my in laws went in the summer without me.
I have been to Budapest for many times as I love this beautiful city. Hungarian Parliament Building is really impressive 🙂
You are absolutely right, these photos do many me want to go to Budapest. It sounds like such a cool city! Hopefully someday… soon…
The detailing on every picture! I love it very much. hope I get to visit one day.
