2025 Hungary Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

Nietzsche once said: "When I want to express music in one word, I find Vienna. And when I want to express mystery in one word, I only think of Prague." Bohemian Czech Republic 🇨🇿, a country full of music, Austria 🇦🇹, a country full of romance, Hungary 🇭🇺 If you prefer cultural scenery, and Spain and Portugal are too hot in summer, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary are the best choices! ~ Czech Republic 🇨🇿 [Charles Bridge] spans the Vltava River, connecting Prague Castle District and the Old Town, built in the 14th century, with many sculptures and attractions on the bridge [St. Vitus Cathedral] located in Prague Castle, the bell tower at the top of the tower is a great place to overlook Prague [Old Town Square] has many Renaissance buildings and sculptures, such as the Astronomical Clock and St. Nicholas Church [CK Town] a medieval dream town, with orange-red roofs, winding Vltava River, and cobblestone streets, all of which make time seem to stay in the 18th century ~ Austria 🇦🇹 [Schönbrunn Palace] its splendor and size are second only to the Palace of Versailles in France, and there are some small landscapes hidden in the garden, such as the Roman ruins [Hallstatt Town] known as "the most beautiful town in the world", surrounded by mountains, the lake and mountains are very magnificent [Vienna Golden Hall] the hall has magnificent decorations and stunning acoustics, it is a sacred place for music lovers around the world ~ Hungary 🇭🇺 [Fisherman's Bastion] combines neo-Gothic, neo-Roman, and Hungarian local styles, the Fisherman's Bastion at sunrise is the most anticipated! [Parliament Building] the building is close to the riverbank, under the red dome is the domed hall, where important meetings and celebrations are held, the Parliament Building also incorporates Hungarian national style, its exterior and interior structure are precisely symmetrical [Matthias Church] presents a neo-Gothic and Baroque architecture, abandoning the symmetrical structure, with a tall bell tower built in one corner of the church, which makes the whole building more light and delicate

Day1: ☑️Széchenyi Chain Bridge Suitable for a night walk to enjoy the night view Day2: ☑️Fisherman's Bastion It's recommended to go early for photos when there are fewer people! ☑️Matthias Church ☑️Buda Castle ☑️New York Café A beautifully decorated café, ladies should definitely wear a gorgeous dress for photos! (Walk in the afternoon, only a 5-minute wait in line, no need for reservations as mentioned online) Day3: ☑️Budapest Central Market The first floor of the market sells chocolate, foie gras, bread, vegetables, fruits, etc., the second floor mainly has souvenirs and clothes, but the specialty chocolate has a peculiar taste, worth trying but not recommended to buy a lot ☑️Liberty Bridge The green iron bridge ☑️Night view photography across from the Hungarian Parliament Building Taxi address: Batthyány tér Transportation🚗: For convenience, I took a taxi directly from the airport to the city center, costing around €35. Taxi app: Bolt. Students can also choose to buy a ticket from the airport to the city center for 200E on the BudapestGo App Danube River Cruise🚢: I bought the cruise ticket on the Duna Cruises official website for €29/person. The boat is quite new, with two levels, the upper level is open-air (you need to queue up early if you want to sit on the upper level), and the ticket includes a glass of sparkling wine. I recommend choosing a time just before sunset, the Hungarian Parliament Building is very photogenic when lit up! Cuisine: ☑️Meet You Every Day Ordered noodles in the morning, tasted quite good ☑️Town Hall Authentic Chengdu hotpot, the base is very fragrant! Recommended for everyone to try when traveling! (Picture 9) ❌Comme Chez Soi Highly recommended by many but actually a bit disappointing, the apple foie gras was a bit fishy, the seafood pasta was mediocre, and there was a beef soup that resembled borscht, not recommended

Favourite specialty coffee place in Budapest so far. Everything was spot on. Own light roasts extracted just right, hitting that sweetness spot. Didn’t have any food but the menu looked very attractive as well. cozy coffee/tea shop that has a small but great quality menu. The vibe was very comfortable and chill. I ordered a filtered coffee from Ethiopia (they had choices from Guatemala, Ethiopia, and El Salvador for coffee) and my friend had a white tea. We both enjoyed our selections. Amazing coffee. It was the right temperature and naturally sweet. If you are a coffee purist then you will love this place! No sugar signs pretty much everywhere, which is how coffee should be. Highly recommend #café

Fresh meat and fish, delicious side dishes and tasty desserts - let's see what Hungarians eat during the winter holidays. 🍤【Walnut Pie Beigli】: This is a "sweet tradition" in Hungary. This dessert baked with walnut filling can be stored for a long time. The ones that are particularly worthy of praise must be those made by the respected elders in each family. It’s both a sweet and joyful enjoyment and a feeling that’s inextricably linked to the memory of the holiday. ⛲【Zserbó, Walnut and Almond Cake】: Although it was invented by a Frenchman living in Hungary, Hungarians still regard it as their own dessert. Hungarians carefully guard its recipe, so "gerbo" is relatively unknown outside of Hungary. Walnuts and apricots are widely grown in Hungary, so Zserbó is made with layers of walnut paste and apricot jam. 👩【Fish Soup】: Hungarian fish soup is very popular and there are many different fish soup recipes, most of which originate from the two main rivers - the Danube and the Tisza. The fish used in the past was carp, but now catfish and perch are also used. Bajai halászlé originated in the town of Bajai on the Danube, and Szegedi halászlé naturally originated in Szegedi in the Tisza River basin. As a country that produces a lot of chili peppers, Hungary often adds a lot of chili powder to its fish soup, which can replenish energy on cold winter nights. Drinking a bowl of it can warm your whole body. 💴【Stuffed Cabbage】: Pork is the staple food of Hungarians. This dish mixes ground pork with diced onions and garlic, and the sour cabbage is very important, and it is also coated with paprika and served with sour cream, which is the perfect combination for a cold winter day. 🧡【Wine】: As a wine-producing country, dinner must include high-quality Hungarian wine. Whether it is the "Bull's Blood" (Bikavér) from Eger or the "Portugieser" (Portugieser) from Villány, they are both excellent table wines.

Purple Tansy, also known as Blue Tansy or Purple Tansy, is widely cultivated in Hungary. It is one of the top 20 honey plants in the world, providing high-quality monofloral honey for humans. It also supports wild pollinators and some biocontrol agents through its pollen and nectar. As a cover crop and green manure, it benefits soil structure and soil microorganisms. In addition to appreciating Blue Tansy, we can also enjoy sunflowers and rapeseed flowers in the Hungarian countryside during different seasons each year, and personally pick lavender and tulips when they bloom. From mid to late June, we can pick cherries in the orchards, and in autumn, taste new wine in the vineyards.

Autumn is the season of maturity, the season of harvest, the season of sedimentation...

The best way to explore here is to rent a boat, sail on the lake, and slowly savor the town's beauty while enjoying the gentle breeze. 【Strolling in Vienna】 Vienna may not be a beauty at first glance, but all its beauty and charm are hidden in the details. The city's historical and artistic ambiance becomes even more intense with the arrival of autumn. Strolling in Vienna feels like a journey back to the imperial era.

The Matthias Church in Hungary is the most beautiful and largest church I have ever seen. Location: Right next to Fisherman's Bastion, you can visit both attractions together. Tickets: You need to buy a ticket to enter, but I think it's definitely worth going inside. The entire church is very magnificent and very large inside. Every decoration and carving is very exquisite, very magnificent and beautiful. It is also very suitable for taking photos. The feeling of entering the church: 'Under the holy light, looking up, everything is splendid and glorious.'

🇭🇺 Review of Hungary LUSH Everyone, the price of Hungary LUSH is 50% different from that of our country!!! I was worried that they wouldn't have the items I wanted because the discount rate was so high, but they have a lot more variety and the prices are much cheaper than in our country, so I spent a lot of money at LUSHㅠㅠ I spent about 200,000 won, but if you buy it in our country, it's almost 400,000 won,,,ㅎㅎ If you go to Hungary, definitely visit LUSH :) #Overseas travel

Happy winter, taken in the Tokaj town train station in Hungary

Hungary is located in the heart of Europe and is an important stop for many visitors to Central Europe. However, whether it is the magnificent Budapest Parliament building in the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the medieval town on the Danube River, it is impossible to enjoy it in a hurry. Out of Budapest, there are more natural scenery and cultural heritage such as hot springs, virgin forests and wine sacred sites waiting for people to explore. stands on the Danube River and is a classic landmark in Budapest. It took 17 years to build and it is the pride of the Hungarians. The splendid main floor uses forty kilograms of gold, and the dome paintings created by famous Hungarian artists. In the dome hall, the national treasure of St. Stephen's crown of Hungary is collected. The Chamber of the Building is the second largest conference hall in Europe, but it is more like a performance hall without losing its solemnity.

The central food farm in Budapest has a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, meat, dry goods and alcohol on the first floor, as well as tourist souvenirs on the second floor. The prices are also very reasonable. Take a stroll through the central market and feel the daily life of the locals. In particular, the chili powder in the central food market is well-known all over the world. The best commemoration in Budapest is to buy the boiled chili powder from Hungary and bring it back!

Budapest, Hungary This ruin bar called Szimpla Kert, the entire abandoned building, the ruins of the ruins, the lights, the grotesque, the decoration is strange, the crowds, the sea. Everyone laughed loudly with a glass of wine. There are bars in several corners of this old building. I dont dare to go there, I bought a cup of blueberry juice, and I found the corner with the least number of people standing against the wall.

This room was obviously deliberately decorated for rent, but the pipes were old and the water pressure was not enough. A few large glass windows clung to the aisle, there was no small gap between the curtain and the glass, I used the transparent glue to close the curtain to the wall. The entrance to the residence is on the sidewalk of this decaying street. My room is at the corner of the fourth floor. The interior decoration is completely new and contrasts with the dilapidation of the old building.

Although not as grand as the New York caf, the Gerbeaud Caf, which was moved to vorosmarty Square in 1870, is also exquisitely decorated. I ordered a salmon salad, an apple pie with Austro-Hungarian characteristics, and a latte. The price is not cheap, but the taste is not bad, especially apple pie, meringue wrapped in caramelized apple filling, sprinkled with icing sugar, with instant vanilla ice cream and cream, and a bitter bitter coffee. The sense of well-being brought by taste is really beautiful.

Legend has it that in order to escape the reason for suppressing the court life, Princess Sissi often came to Hungary to live longer. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, she was crowned the Queen of Hungary. When she was living in Hungary, she frequented the Gerbeaud Caf. You know, but when celebrities visit more than two times, in the future, there will be a certain love of this store, which is the quaint marketing method of that era. In any case, the caf, which is known for its many years of focus on desserts, is famous overseas under the gimmick of Sissi.

The train station that arrived in Budapest, Hungary, did not feel good. But when the day comes, the sun shines on the Danube, shines on the fisherman's fort, and falls on the shoulders of the pedestrian bridge, but Budapest becomes incomparable. On Andrssy Avenue, a small baby squats on the ground to watch the street performers seriously. It turns out that the fun of this city can be seen in the slow pace. In the afternoon of the sun, a person takes a tram to the Fisherman's Bastion, walks on the old castle, watches the quiet time of the Danube, and sees the beautiful city view of the city of Pace. Everything has a good look. Of course, the night view of the evening is not to be missed. You can find a restaurant along the river and enjoy the delicious food.

I saw a photo of a small train in the cave hot springs, a bit like the sargan8 I used to sit in Serbia. How can the train control miss the retro train, ask the landlord where it is, and turn a few cars to Misskolc-Dorottya Utca. Originally this was a narrow-gauge train to the depths of the Bick Forest. If it was a month earlier, the autumn colors along the way would definitely be more beautiful. From Diostel, take the narrow-gauge forest train to Bic Mountain and the resort town of Lilafied. There are only six caves in the world, such as the Anna Limestone Cave. Many of them are taking the children to experience this retro narrow-gauge train. There are not many shifts per day, and there will be fewer in the off-season. Although there are fewer tourists in late autumn, there are still many people. At Christmas, the train station is decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, and there is a Christmas market at the terminal. Transportation: Miskolc downtown can do 1 tram directly, 400 HUF
