We all love going on vacation but getting there is not always fun. Traveling is not all about lying under a palm tree, sipping a cocktail on the beach or dancing through the night with your loved one. Traveling is also a hectic lifestyle full of stress, both physically and mentally. You might get stuck in a traffic jam if you travel by car. Or your luggage might get lost at the airport. Traveling with kids can leave you anxious and a bit stressed out. read more
When it is cold outside I love eating spicy, heartwarming soups because that healthy salad isn’t going to warm up my toes. A winter warmer soup with bold flavors is amazingly delicious and comforting. These soups are great lunch or dinner alternatives, one of life’s simple treats. There is a wide range of winter soups & broths for you to choose from Hungarian cuisine. No doubt, goulash soup perfectly represents Hungarian gastronomy. It is famous all around the world and foreigners frequently ask for it while staying in Hungary.
Winter is the most exciting, most enchanting of the seasons and I look forward to it year by year. The sparkling white snow makes even the dullest and plainest neighborhood spectacular and beautiful to look at, besides the captivating Castle area or Heroes’ Square in Budapest, covered with snow. Nothing can compare to the atmosphere before Christmas in Budapest. read more

Frida Kahlo Exhibition – Masterpieces from the Museo Dolores Olmedo, Mexico City at the Hungarian National Gallery, Building C, ground floor
Probably the most defining and iconic female artist of the twentieth century, Frida Kahlo is the subject of an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts – Hungarian National Gallery in the summer of 2018. Thanks to the kind generosity of the Museo Dolores Olmedo, Mexico City, and several other important Mexican collections, more than thirty paintings and other works by the artist are being brought on loan to Budapest. The selection – which not only features the artist’s hallmark self-portraits, but also includes such major works as her very first canvas, painted in 1927, as well as paintings and portraits inspired by the events in her life, works suffused with symbolism, drawings, and even photographs – offers a glimpse inside the evocative, yet physically and mentally tormented inner world of Frida Kahlo, and shows us the mythical reality that she experienced and recreated. read more
