If you are looking for things to do in Budapest, the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden is one of those places that is easy to overlook if you are travelling without children. But this is much more than a traditional zoo. read more
I love visiting libraries. I have an e-reader, of course, but there is still something special about holding a real book in your hands. And there is something even more special about borrowing an old book and wondering how many people have read it before you. read more

Is Budapest still a budget-friendly destination? If you’ve been looking at Budapest lately and wondering whether the city is still as affordable as everyone says, you’re not imagining things.

Who says Budapest doesn’t have a beach? Just a short drive from the city center, Lupa Beach feels surprisingly different from the Budapest most visitors expect. Crystal-clear water, white sand, palm trees and beach bars create an atmosphere that’s much closer to a seaside resort than a former gravel pit on the outskirts of the city. read more
Some of my favorite places in Budapest aren’t the ones everyone talks about. Párisi Udvar Budapest is one of them. Long before it became a luxury hotel, it was already part of my childhood. My mom and I loved spending Sunday afternoons wandering around downtown Budapest, and somehow we always ended up passing through this beautiful passage. read more
