Just arrived in Budapest and have no clue what to see and what to do? Meet the locals at one of Budapest’s superb thermal baths on your first hot summer vacation day in the city. 🙂 You might already know (I bet you read a Guide Book on the flight) that Budapest is a city of thermal baths and is also called the spa capital of Europe, with good reason. Nowhere else in Europe you find such a great variety of unique and world famous thermal baths as in Budapest. Széchenyi Spa is my favorite, which is the largest thermal spring bath complex not only in Budapest, but in Europe as well. read more

But no jaguars, iguanas or anything like that, por favor :). The only things you need to pay for are the delicious foods made by the representatives of the participant countries and drinks provided by La Bodeguita del Medio. read more

I’m not sure why, but there’s something about drinking on a rooftop that makes it simply far more exciting than drinking on the ground floor. It could be the incredible views and the luxurious surroundings of the rooftop bar space, or the fact that you can unashamedly stare at the world and people below, or simply feeling like you’re part of this secret club up in the sky. Whatever it is, I love rooftop terraces, and I feel lucky because Budapest offers some amazing ones. read more

Paris Department Store (Párisi Nagy Áruház) is located at 39 Andrássy Avenue in the heart of Budapest. This breathtaking avenue is mainly defined by stylish café-bars, premium and luxury retailers. Just like the avenue, Paris Department Store also holds a long history. It was built in 1882 based on the designs by Gusztáv Petschancher. Its facade facing Andrássy Avenue was designed in Art Nouveau style, while its side looking at Paulay Ede Street is Neo-Renaissance. read more

Easter is at the top of my favorite holiday list because it’s a holiday that includes chocolate and bunnies. 🙂 No matter how old you are or where you are in the world, Easter is a fun family tradition that never goes out of style. Besides such holidays as Christmas, it’s another great time for children because the Easter bunny – which is even able to lay Easter eggs! – brings them presents. read more
