Budapest Blog

Budapest is either a city you fall in love with instantly and count the reasons why or a city you fall Parlimentin love with and have no real explanation other than "because." It's a beautiful city located on the Danube bursting with history and rich cultural experiences waiting to happen. Oldmate provides his detailed tales in the city on Travel Blog, a place for free travel inspiration from globe trotters like you and me. In his account Oldmate clearly states his attraction to Hungarian women playing a key role in his love for the city (not one of my own key interests), but furthers the passion behind the city. From the eclectic mixture and style of architecture to the many adjoining bridges (which he provides great historical background on), he proclaims it a must-see destination.

Accompanied by some nice pics of the Chain Bridge, Royal Palace, Fisherman's Bastion, Hero's Square and the Parliament building it's a nice blog to read if you plan on heading that way anytime soon. Another recommendation is the popular Pestiside blog full of news, culture, gossip, and other useful bits of information on cosmopolitan Budapest.

Siya!
