If you are in Budapest during the summer you have to go to river Danube to watch a sunset! I would recommend picking a spot between the Margit bridge and Elizabeth bridge, to get the best views and sunlight for the sunset! Lot of people visit Pontoon because it probably has the best view! It’s a must do summer activity in Budapest!

What does it feel like to pass through one of Budapest’s busiest railway stations?

Walking through the underpass at Nyugati Railway Station is always an intriguing experience—you never quite know what awaits you down there. In my experience, it’s generally safe to walk through, though it’s always wise to stay aware of your surroundings. Most of the time, nothing out of the ordinary happens.

This is a side of Budapest that many visitors rarely see, offering a glimpse into the city’s everyday rhythm beyond the usual tourist attractions.

As a 90s kid my childhood was full of eating all kinds of different candies. Some of the ones I used to eat were Haribo, Hubba Bubba, Mentos and some smaller local brands. Of course there are so many more that I used to eat, but these are the ones I could find at the store today.

Looking at these honestly reminded me so much of my childhood and made me wonder what kind of candies kids today eat. Do they even eat the same things we did back then? I also spotted some American candy on the shelves which felt so weird to me, because we definitely didn’t really have those when I was a kid.

Would you like a part 2 about the kinds of candies or other snacks I used to eat as a kid? Let me know in the comments!

Today I did a custom private guided tour in Budapest for guests who were visiting on a cruise ship.

Unfortunately, they were not able to see very much during their group tour, as it was mostly done by bus, and the only place they got off was at Matthias Church.

When we met, we talked about what they were most interested in seeing, and together we decided to visit Parliament and St. Stephen’s Basilica up close. They also wanted to shop for some local artisan products, try a local dessert, and of course enjoy a Chimney Cake.

This is the plan I came up with for them once we met in person. Of course, I had an itinerary prepared beforehand, but I think it’s also important to be able to adjust a tour based on a guest’s interests once you actually meet them, and that’s exactly what I did today.

One special request they had was a wine tasting, which I arranged for them in advance and was very happy to do.

It just goes to show that not everything can be perfectly planned out ahead of time. Sometimes the biggest asset a guide can have is the ability to adapt and create the experience their guests are truly looking for.

What’s the best place to try lángos in Budapest? I’d say a local farmers market, without question. That’s where locals actually go grocery shopping, then once they get hungry, they grab a hot lángos and sit on the nearby benches to enjoy it. It’s one of those simple Budapest moments that feels very real.

Lángos is definitely a filling food — most people eat it the classic way with sour cream and cheese piled on top. Messy, heavy, perfect.

If you don’t end up going to a local market, you can also try Lángosom. They have one location on Sütő utca and another in the Jewish Quarter party district on Wesselényi utca. Both spots stay open late, and in modern Budapest it’s honestly become a bit of a hangover food too. After a night out, a greasy lángos somehow suddenly feels like life advice.

Champions League fever is officially taking over Budapest ⚽🔥

This weekend is going to be HUGE for the city as thousands of football fans arrive for the UEFA Champions League Final at Puskás Aréna. But interestingly, one of the main centers of the celebrations will not just be the stadium — it will be Városliget (City Park), one of Budapest’s most historic and beautiful green spaces.

The park is preparing for one of the biggest events in its nearly 200-year history, with fan zones, entertainment, outdoor programs, and massive crowds expected around Heroes’ Square and City Park. 🌳🏟️

What makes it even more special is how much Városliget has changed over the years. The area now has modern sports facilities, running tracks, playgrounds, museums, green spaces, and so much more, while still keeping its historic atmosphere. Honestly, it is one of the best examples of old and new Budapest blending together.

Even if you are not a football fan, the city atmosphere this weekend will probably be unforgettable. Budapest during major international events always feels extra alive. ✨

Every time I see this moon installation in Budapest, I immediately think of that line from Minions: “Minions, tonight we steal the moon” 🌙😂

I was actually just walking somewhere and this was on my way, so obviously I had to stop and make a funny video about it. Honestly, it’s one of those random little things in Budapest that makes the city feel extra fun and magical.

If you want to see it, it’s located at Vincent Hall — Piarista köz 1. And the best part is that it looks cool at literally any time of the day.

So… will you go see it when you’re in Budapest? ✨

Discover one of the most beautiful hidden gems in City Park — the stunning House of the Hungarian Millennium. ✨ Originally built in the late 19th century, this historic building was beautifully restored as part of the renewal of City Park and now serves as a cultural space celebrating Hungarian heritage, art, and community.

Inside, visitors can enjoy exhibitions, concerts, events, and interactive experiences, while outside the surrounding gardens and park create the perfect place to relax and explore. 🌿🏛️

Is it worth visiting the spring festival at Vörösmarty Square in Budapest? I’d say if you’re already in the area, it’s nice to walk through—but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. The stands and food are basically the same as the Christmas market. It’s great if you’re looking to pick up local artisan goods, but the food is overpriced and very touristy. As a local, I wouldn’t eat here.

The market runs from May 1st to May 25th. Opening hours are Monday–Thursday 11AM–9PM, Friday–Saturday 11AM–10PM, and Sunday 11AM–9PM.
