BUDAPEST

12 February Unknown 0 Comments

Day 1 // Saturday.

we arrived at our hotel, the three corners Bristol hotel ( coincidence of a name there!) dropped off our bags and headed out. It was pretty late when we arrived so we wanted to head out and get drunk straight away. We went to Szimpla Kert, an amazing ruin bar with a really cool boho vibe that my housemates recommended. The drinks are litterally like 70p everywhere. After Szimpla we met some locals that took us to another ruin bar/club place called Fogasház that played some really good techno music.

Day 2 // Sunday.

We woke up and enjoyed an all you can eat breakfast at our hotel, then got ready and set out for the day. We took a tram to Buda, where we walked along the Yellow bridge and admired the views.

We walked around Buda, admired the parliament building and then headed up to Fishermans Bastian. The views were insane. Then we walked around the top of the castle, around the church and then headed down to walk across the chain bridge.

We then decided to head to the icebar, it was freezing, naturally, but was fun and fairly cheap. The cocktails were all made with Hungarian liquor which I thought was ok, but Oli hated.

After this we decided to go out for some food and headed to a restuarant called Galleria, went for some more drinks at Szimpla, then headed out to a Club called Instant with a couple we bumped into who we had shared a taxi with from the airport.

Day 3 // Monday

We tucked into Breakfast again then took the tram and metro to the Thermal spa at Szechenyi, which was amazing and so relaxing and pretty! We then explored the surrounding buildings. We then stopped nearby for some food at a restuarant, then headed back on the tram and visited the Budapest train station. We had super cheap drinks near our hotel in a traditional Hungarian bar, then finished the night once again in Szimpla, but not before stopping off a a tea bar called "The cave of the green turtle."
