We < 3 Budapest


I don't know how anyone could not love this city. After a two hour delay leaving Paris, we arrived in Budapest in the early evening. It was getting dark, and the city was beautifully lit up, so it was pretty much impossible not to fall in love at first sight.


We walked across the famous Chain Bridge from our amazing hotel, Lanchid 19. You can see the hotel in the first picture, it's the one lit up on the left, below the Palace.

While searching for a place to have a snack and drink before dinner, we stumbled upon this beautiful Basilica, but I'll tell you more about that later.

We were further charmed by the incredibly low prices at our snack spot (good bottle of wine for the equivalent of 11euros), and had a delicious dinner at Dio, the kind of meal that we would never be able to afford in Paris. All for the reasonable price of about 30euros per person.




Less than 12 hours in and we were sold. And it really only got better...
