Budapest – he is: he cannot help but love him. Having been here once, I want to return again and again. He is controversial, mysterious, picturesque, different. Buda is hilly, full of parks, cottages, and next to her Pesht – plain, brick, vain … I will connect eight beautiful bridges with Pesht, the oldest and favorite of the sechion chain bridge.

You do not take much on the empty stomach, so first you need to eat well. Before ordering the first-second-third, ask the waiter the size of the portion-they are relatively large here. Hungarian cuisine is fat, acute, hearty and tasty – real gastronomic pleasure. Be sure to try golyás (gulyás),
Pörkölt (pörkölt),
Paprikás Csirke, Paprikás Csirke
Turosh Chusa (toughós csusza).
Dinner. Elements Budapest – A new, but already proven restaurant. The location is perfect – near the parliament. On weekdays, a business lunch of two dishes and a drink for 5 euros is offered here.
Middle check: 10-15 euros.
Rostlyos – Restaurant of Hungarian cuisine on Calvin Square.
Average check: 15-20 euros.
Dinner. Several restaurants of Hungarian cuisine located in the central regions of the city: Tüköry, Rétesház, Kék Rozsa.
For a special, impressive dinner, go to a restaurant on the ship Vén Hajó.
Average check: 30 euros.
On breakfast Hungarians prefer fried eggs, sausages, sandwich with cheese, ham, pepper or local pastries. From drinks – cocoa or coffee. Great breakfasts are served in Menza and Bubō.
Middle check: 5 euros.
For the Hungarian marzipan and cup of coffee – in the cafe számos (this is a whole network of cafes, one of them with a view of the parliament),
Behind a piece of cake – in a century -old coffee shop with history. Hungarians are coffee people, so there is, of course, the choice of tea, but not so rich.
Middle check: 8 euros.
The Cafe of all the cafes in Budapest – Central Kavehaz is one of the oldest, in the Vienna style. Opening at the end of the 19th century, this place was popular with the local intelligentsia: journalists, writers, musicians and university professors went here to a light.
Middle check: 13 euros.
For vegetarians and vegans I recommend Napfényes and Vegatic restaurants in the fifth area. The trend of proper nutrition is now gaining momentum, so the vegetarian menu can be found in any self -respecting restaurant.
Middle check: 5 euros.
Fast food. From the Hungarian fast food, be sure to try langos (lángos) – a cake with garlic sauce, sour cream and cheese, and a sweet bun – aromatic Kürtoshkalach (Kürtőskalács) With cocoa, cinnamon or walnut.
Where and what to drink
Hungarian wines begin to gain popularity, and with them, wine festivals appear, wine galleries open. Here, for example, in Cultivini You can taste wines from various wine regions of Hungary with one click of a button.
The institution St. Andrea Wine & Skybar belongs to the category of luxury. A chic panorama with a view of the main attractions of the Hungarian capital, a large range of drinks, high prices. Expensive, but with taste.
What to see

Jewish quarter Budapest – a busy area in the city center, consisting of narrow streets. Here is the largest Cingog in Europe. The facades of houses and signs on buildings talk about important events and people. Now this quarter is famous for its drinking establishments: in each house in a pub, or even two.
Gellert is broken on Mount Philosophical Garden. The place is very comfortable in its own way. Near the figures of the great thinkers, a chic look opens.
You can’t visit Budapest and not visit Kupalni – There are dozens of them for every taste and color. If you want an open pool – seichs, a beautiful view – Rudash, closed in a Turkish style – Kirai. The cost of a daily ticket varies depending on a specific bath and is 12-20 euros.
Old furniture, bicycle, cut cars, car and bathroom – interior elements Ruin-bar of Budapest. Inexpensive drinks, noisy music and amazing atmosphere. Szimpla Kert is the very first and most famous ruine bar with a large number of tourists, so those who love places are more dead, I would advise Fogasház.
