2 Days in Budapest

I figured I ought to see more of Europe before graduating so last week, I travelled with another friend to Budapest and Vienna (another post.) The great thing about Budapest was that everything was so affordable there! One doesn’t have to think too much before buying something since everything seemed relatively cheap. Here are the sights we visited:

After spending 3 hours at the main train station, waiting to buy train tickets to Vienna, we visited the Buda Castle….JPG)
… and Fishermen’s Bastion. To be honest, when we saw these two sights up close, we didn’t think they looked that impressive, especially since there wasn’t any signs to explain the sights. There was an exhibition/ museum inside the Castle, but it didn’t sound that attractive so we didn’t go in.

But these two spots are on top of a hill so it was a terrific spot to get a great view of Budapest.

The next day, we took a sightseeing hop on hop off bus to get around the sites. If you go to Budapest and want a convenient way to get to the sites, try the service. It’s affordable and convenient, making the whole sightseeing experience very relaxing and simple.

From afar, the Castle looked very pretty.

The Parliament is one of the must-see sights, although we didn’t actually go in. It’s one of the most impressive buildings in Budapest and again, looks great from across the island.

Afterwards, we visited St. Stephan Balisica.

Then we took a guided tour inside the Opera House. The tour was interesting, with the tour guide describing the history of the Opera House with funny stories. It was very gold and shiny inside, together with paintings and statues.

Finally, we visited Heroes’ Square, which is suppsedly a must-see sight. To be honest, it just looked like a normal square, ie. empty space with statues to us.
Budapest is definitely a great place to visit for a very short amount of time and low budget. It’s a good choice if you want to see Central Europe. Overall, it was fun and interesting to walk around casually in Budapest, but frankly, the sightseeing spots weren’t as well ‘put-together’ (ie. as tourist-friendly) relative to other countries’.
