#EuropeConquest 📍Budapest What kind of city is Budapest, Hungary? Budapest is the combination of the Buda district in the west and the Pest district in the east, separated by the Danube River. First, the Parliament Building. I've never seen such a beautiful Parliament Building! A huge Parliament Building with a total length of 268m and a height of 96m. It's symmetrical and beautiful. I recommend seeing it from the Danube River on an evening Danube River cruise! Next, the Central Market. It's very popular as a spot where you can buy souvenirs. There are many traditional Hungarian crafts and specialties for sale, so be sure to go and check it out~ #Budapest #HungaryTrip

The night view of Budapest, Hungary is so beautiful. Even though I went late in the evening, there were still a lot of people. I plan to go again. I also recommend it as a honeymoon destination.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I discussed with my family for a long time and decided to spend the Chinese New Year in February this year. 11 days of free travel in Vienna and Budapest ✈️ Because the air tickets for the New Year are expensive, we chose a flight that connects in China. The airfare is about 31K Budapest, the capital of Hungary It is really a country where you can experience the European tourism atmosphere at a low cost. Although there has been some inflation and prices have risen a bit since the epidemic But compared to the cost in countries like France, Italy, etc. But it is much less! The Airbnb we stayed in Budapest this time was located opposite the Hungarian Parliament Building. Every time you get up early and at night, you can enjoy the super beautiful Capitol Building It is recommended that you buy a Budapest Card when you come to Budapest. This card allows free rides on subways, streetcars, buses, and many museums. The most worthwhile thing I think is that each card comes with a free cruise This is really a must experience! It’s so beautiful to sit on the boat and watch the Capitol at sunset and at night! If you have extra money, I recommend you go to other boats at your own expense to have free drinks. Or take a dinner cruise and have dinner while looking at the Capitol Building, which is more atmospheric! This time we traveled independently for 11 days and the total cost was about 60K! We cooked breakfast and dinner at Airbnb and had lunch at a restaurant outside. Eating out in Europe is more expensive. A meal for four people costs about 1,000 to 2,000 Taiwan dollars. If it is off-season, transfer from China The airfare is about 13K The cost can be reduced further to around 45K! Therefore, I really recommend everyone to travel to Budapest! ✈️ You can also travel to neighboring countries like Vienna and Slovakia!

Early birds get to enjoy the world first! The sunrise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is truly worth it. At 6:39 am in Budapest, at Fisherman's Bastion, in this morning light, A soft orange-red hue gradually appears on the horizon, Gently lifting the curtain of night. Gradually, the sun rises above the horizon, Light spills onto the ancient stone walls, casting long shadows from Fisherman's Bastion. A gentle breeze blows, carrying the moist air of the Danube, Lightly touching my cheeks, like whispers of the empire. The distant spires appear exceptionally serene, Guarding the dreams of this city.

#2月好地方2025 Marvelous! I never thought a cafe could be as gorgeous as a palace! Budapest's "New York Café Budapest" is truly the best synonym for magnificence. No wonder it was selected as one of the top ten most beautiful cafes in the world. The New York Palace Café is a combination of romance, elegance, luxury and grandeur. The building and decoration itself is a work of art. Walking into it, it feels like entering the castle or palace of a prince or nobleman. The reason why it is called New York Coffee is that it was formerly New York Life Insurance, which was later bought by a coffee industry owner and redecorated. The New York Palace Café is very famous and is visited by almost all tourists who come to Budapest, so it is always crowded. If you want to go in during dinner time, remember to make a reservation online in advance. However, the food is just so-so, not as amazing as the cafe itself, the atmosphere is the main attraction. But it’s actually worth it to be able to take a beautiful photo in a palace-like scene! New York Café Budapest 🕰️Business hours: 0700-0000 📍Address: Budapest, Erzsébet krt. 9-11, 1073 Hungary #EasternEuropeFreeTravel #HungaryTravel #Budapest #NewYorkCafé

#2月好去地方2025 I heard that Hungarian foie gras is very famous and the price is not too expensive? Now that you are in Budapest, of course you have to find a Hungarian restaurant and enjoy the delicious and tender foie gras! Kiskakukk Etterem is a restaurant with good online reviews. It has been open since 1913. It has a very European classical romantic Western restaurant style. It looks noble but is actually not expensive. Most people recommend its foie gras dishes, especially the foie gras baked apples, which are a must-order! The nearest metro station is Nyugati Palyaudvar, which is about a 10-minute walk away and quite easy to find. It is recommended to make reservations online in advance, after all, it is a popular restaurant. The group of three ordered several dishes: appetizer of foie gras and baked apples, main course of fried half duck, confit duck leg and steak liver. The fried foie gras is tender and shiny, rich in fat and has a dense texture. It is paired with roasted sweet apples, which combines greasiness and fishy smell. It is a very special cooking method, the first time I have eaten it. Other non-foie gras dishes are also of very good quality. The deep-fried half duck is a huge portion, crispy and not dry; the confit duck leg is a Kung Fu dish with a fresh and tender taste, which is similar to the method of Shufei. I felt full after the whole meal, and surprisingly found many Asian tourists visiting, most of whom came here because they saw it online. This Hungarian foie gras dish has a good value for money. #EasternEuropeFreeTravel #HungarianTravel #Budapest #FoieGras

Budapest's attractions are very concentrated Today's route is 1️⃣ Parliament Building - 2️⃣ Shoe and Boot Sculpture on the way to Szechenyi Bridge - 3️⃣ Szechenyi Bridge - 4️⃣ Buda Castle - 5️⃣ Matthias Church - 6️⃣ Fisherman's Bastion - 7️⃣ Central Market Among them, 1️⃣ to 6️⃣ can be reached on foot. ✔️1️⃣, the Parliament Building, is the center of Budapest. Take the subway here first, and then go to various attractions without taking a detour. ✔️2️⃣, shoe and boot sculptures, these shoes are to commemorate the Jews who were shot and pushed into the Danube by the Nazis during World War II. There are some commemorative flowers next to the shoes. May there be world peace! ✔️3️⃣, Szechenyi Chain Bridge, connecting Buda and Pest, across the Danube, with stone lions guarding the bridge. ✔️4️⃣, Buda Castle Park, tickets are 5,000 forints for adults and 2,000 forints for children over 3 years old. You can take the cable car up and overlook the city. ✔️6️⃣. There are not many people in Fisherman’s Bastion in winter, so you can wait for the camera to take pictures in just three to five minutes. ✔️7️⃣, Central Market, is located next to the Liberty Bridge on the Danube River. It is built in the neo-Gothic architectural style. The main structure is constructed with steel frame, which is grand and stable. There are many Hungarian folk-style souvenirs, vegetables and meat in the market; there are also stalls selling various clothes and places to eat on the second floor. It’s a large market! As for the price, taking the refrigerator magnets we bought as an example, the price of the same style can differ by several times, so make more comparisons. All in all, the prices of goods in the Central Market are still relatively cheap. Let’s take refrigerator magnets as an example. A refrigerator magnet I bought at a roadside shop on the way from Buda Castle to Fisherman’s Bastion cost 2,500 forints, while similar styles in the Central Market were mostly around 1,200, and the cheapest one I saw was 400 forints. ‼ ️Finally, let’s focus on the guide to avoiding pitfalls In the square of Fisherman's Bastion, there were people taking photos with pigeons (which looked like pigeons). The white pigeons are very beautiful and children like them very much. I asked the price, it was 5 Euros! After taking a few pictures, the pigeon's owner took my phone and told me that I could use slow motion to capture the moment the pigeon took off. At this time, I still felt that he was very enthusiastic. But after the shoot, he said the charge was 10 Euros! Slow motion is available for an additional 5 Euros! The routine is really too complicated, it is almost equivalent to fraud! Here, I would like to remind all friends to avoid pitfalls! This happened on my first day in Budapest, and it really affected my impression of this city!

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 MÁK restaurant, a restaurant I visited during my trip to Budapest, claims to offer top-quality cuisine with a simple cooking method. This Michelin-recommended restaurant and bistro on the banks of the Danube is full of surprises from its interior decoration. The space is like a white cave, with modern and low-key decorations, and the whole thing is full of texture. MÁK restaurant's creative seasonal menu uses local Hungarian ingredients, seasoned and presented with a French touch. The three of us ordered three steak dishes, steak, cod fillet and Iberian pork. The presentation of the dishes was a work of art, the texture and seasoning were fresh and delicious, and paired with white wine, it was a delicious and enjoyable meal. The service was very friendly and they also treated us to dessert after the meal. The three colors and flavors of cannoli were very sweet. Overall, I was very satisfied with the meal. It is worthy of being a Michelin-recommended restaurant and bistro. #HungaryTravel #Budapest

#February travel support event I didn't really expect much from Budapest, but it was a really great travel destination. It was nice to just walk around without even a schedule,,, so I really wanted to make it into a reel. For those of you who are wondering what to do with your Budapest travel plans, I'll recommend a full 3-day travel course. 🏨Budapest accommodation recommendations - Novotel Budapest Danube / Affordable hotel with a view of the Parliament Building!

In fact, the view is so famous that I recommend viewing it from across the Danube River. ✔️Recommended view of the Parliament Building: Parliament Viewpoint Parlamenti nézőpont, Batthyány tér H subway station, Novotel Budapest Danube - Shoes on the Danube River Cipők a Duna-parton / A shoe sculpture commemorating those who lost their lives to the fascists during World War II in front of the Danube River.

It is now used as the Hungarian National Museum, and the view is also great. - New York Café Budapest / A 100-year-old cafe with gorgeous frescoes and chandeliers.

There is a waiting line, so I recommend Open Run. - Széchenyi Baths Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő és Uszoda / Széchenyi Baths are a must-visit when you go to Budapest! However, since it is so crowded with tourists, visit early in the morning :) - Fisherman's Bastion Halászbástya / It is a 19th-century fortress with a beautiful view. The walk up to the fortress is quiet and nice. I recommend it for the daytime, sunset, and night views. - Café Gerbeaud Kávéház / It is a gorgeous and beautiful cafe as much as New York Cafe.

Please note that there is a waiting line on weekends :) - Béchamel / If you are looking for a brunch restaurant, definitely go hereㅜㅜ They have a variety of brunch options and they are all delicious. -VakVarjú Restaurant / A place famous among Koreans as a crow restaurant.

I was able to apply for the cruise on the day☺️💓 I boarded the 10pm cruise🚢Legenda's cruise has a Japanese audio guide and WiFi🛜It was great for €19 with one drink🥰 However, when I visited in early spring, it was still cold outside, so I stayed in the cabin except when taking photos😖 I think it will be a great memory, so I definitely recommend it if you go to Budapest❤️ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━💬aynaa's comment━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━I visited alone, but I didn't see many solo travelers🥺I got the impression that families and girls' trips were prominent I'm quite used to traveling, so I didn't mind going at night, but if you're worried, you might want to take an earlier cruise🙆♀️ #DanubeRiverCruise #Budapest
