For some reason every time my boyfriend and I get on a plane, one of us seems to get sick. I would like to blame the plane, but I think we might be working ourselves to a point of exhaustion where our bodies just shut down as soon as we know it’s a holiday. Or it might simply be the cold weather and snow; we aren’t exactly good at the cold. But even with the flue, we made it to Budapest. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but im blown away by the atmosphere and feel of the old city. I have some friends from Hungary, but the decision to go was so spontaneous we didn’t have a chance to milk them for information.
So with a runny nose and the wanderlust in check we started to explore the city. The first days in Budapest we went to all the museums we thought might be interesting: The Great Synagogue, Jewish Museum, Hungarian National Museum and The National Gallery. There is something peaceful about travelling during the winter. The streets are quiet and you get everything to yourself. Seems like all the locals and tourist opt for staying in the warmth, rather than exploring the city. My boyfriend loves going to museums, so having him write about them would probably be smarter, whereas all I can say is that they were interesting, affordable and beautiful. Other than that we obviously wandered into some great restaurants and bars, tasting all we could handle.
So far Budapest has not disappointed us in any way. The food, art, drinks, history and people are amazing.
