What to see in Budapest?

The best time to travel to Hungary is in spring or autumn, fewer tourist times and with a very pleasant and mild climate, in which you can take advantage of the day perfectly by daylight hours. One of the obligatory stops in the city would be to enjoy some of its Spas, such as Gellert, one of the most famous and famous where you can relax after a hard day touring the city.

In the case of our trip to Budapest in 4 days, we did not have time to enjoy, but it would be a perfect option to enjoy in the afternoon or evening or a winter afternoon in which it reduces the daylight hours.

In case you can not travel in these seasons of the year, do not worry, this city always has a friendly face to show, whatever the weather.

If you hire the taxi company Volantaxi, be careful with them. Make it clear if you need change you can pay in euros and they give you the change in Hungarian florins or you can also pay directly in Hungarian forints. Also, make clear the destination to which you go by email or take a map to show the taxi driver.

If take a taxi at dawn to the airport and you do not have it contracted with the hotel, you can bargain, based on the price you get at the hotel. They do not put a meter and at least they tried to scam us several times.

In Budapest, walk. It is best to walk through its streets, along with the river bank … so you have to wear comfortable shoes🙂

On the upper floor of the Central Market, you can find any souvenir you have seen before in the streets of the city, at a better price. But not all prices are the same in the different beach bars, so you have to compare them all.
