Budapest Travel Blogs

Background: Hungary was part of the polyglot Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed during World War I. The country fell under Communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU in 2004.

I am HUNGARY

 Europe » Hungary » Budapest » Pest
Haha. Not really hungry, but rather IN HungAry. Our hostel is okay...we are safe and sound. Today we walked around the city of Pest...see Budapest is really made up of 2 citites...Buda and Pest. We went to some thermal Turkish style baths today and that was a lot of fun. It looked like the baths in England, except cooler cuz you can actually swim in them. We did quite a bit of walking around, saw Parliament and Heroes Square among other things. We are here for one more day and will walk around Buda tomorrow. Then its off to Venice. We [View Full Entry]

I somehow woke up before my alarm clock even rang today. I think I was so worried about missing my flight that my internal clock forced me to get up pronto. I did the triple S combo in the morning. From there I grabbed one last gyro from my favorite local spot and headed to the station to catch a 45-60 min. train ride to the airport. Everything went rather smoothly on the administrative end and I caught my flight. Unfortunately, I ended up having to do a 5 hour lay over in Nuremberg. It also kind of sucked that I [View Full Entry]

Screwdapest

Budapest It all started to go wrong when we went to the wrong station when leaving Vienna. After looking at the departure board and not seeing our train, and looking at our ticket, we realised we have 25 minutes to get to Westbanhof and on to our train. Luckily we made it by the skin of our teeth, as we sat down in our seats the train pulled off. PHEW. Once in Budapest, the transport really confused us, and the metro and a couple of trams later (and buying bottles of water to get the right change) we managed to get [View Full Entry]

Budapest

Hey all! It has been a while since our last update, some of the hostels dont have the internet. Any way We are in Budapest at the moment, just arrived yesterday and the weather is pretty crap, has not stopped raining. After we were in Vienna we traveled to Prague and stayed at a hostel called Marabou. Not a bad little place to stay, all the people we met there were awsome. I met these two guys named ed and ed who were really really funny, we would just sit back with a few beers and crack jokes at each other [View Full Entry]
