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.

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]

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]

Mileage: ~3000 miles We spent our afternoon in Vilnius wandering around. We traveled to Uzupis, a section of the city which has declared its indipendance from Lithuania (though not taken too seriously). The small town is famed for its relaxed bohemian lifestyle - walking through we saw a harpist and singer performing on a footbridge, an artist with his house-come-gallery freely open to the public and the 'constitution' of 41 rights, including the right to own a cat! The town's peaceful and laid back way of life was fascinating and difficult to part from. We left Vilnius later than planne [View Full Entry]

Budapest Baths

Mat: Budapest was the last stop on our trip, and we were keen just to relax a bit. This approach does not make for a hugely entertaining blog, so this will be short and sweet. We stayed at an awesome little hostel called "Enter Privates". Really - it was called Enter Privates. I think the "privates" part referred to the private rooms, but what possessed the owner to preface this with "enter", I will never know. The owner of the place, Gabor, was a young Budapest local who, despite the misdirected attempt at naming the hostel, was a top bloke. Over [View Full Entry]

Moi taas, En ole ehtinyt kirjoitella pitkiin ja nyt on netin kanssa sellainen juttu, että pitää mennä nettikahvilaan, sillä ei enää viitsitä ottaa tänne liittymää. ( Oli vain 2 kk). Keskiviikkona lähdetään lentäen Transilviaan. Saattaa olla, että kirjoittelen vasta sieltä. Kiitos kaikille kommentoijille ja sähköpostiin kirjoittaneille. Kaikki on noteerattu js kiva on kuulla kotimaankin kuulumisia! Joka tapauksessa "Macit matkustaa" edelleen ja olkaa kuulolla:) Terkkuja kaikille!!! [View Full Entry]
