I recently went to Budapest with my girlfriends for my birthday weekend. It wasn't at the top of my bucket list, but it was a city that sounded intriguing to me and I had heard a lot of good things about it.
How to describe Budapest? I think my friend Khadidja put it perfectly: Paris meets London meets Prague meets Berlin. It felt like such a blend of cities, and had elements that reminded me of each of those classic European cities. It's a sprawling city that lights up beautifully at night, much like Paris. The river Danube with Gothic-style architecture is very reminiscent of Prague. The parks, statues and transit system are a lot like Berlin. And yet there are parts of the city that are also very unique to Budapest - like the amazing thermal spas, and the Fisherman's Bastion overlooking the city. Overall it was a great trip, and I would recommend Budapest to any traveler interested in something fun and different.
