Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and one of the prettiest European cities if judging by the numerous historical monuments, landmarks and gorgeous architecture. The best time to visit is late spring and summer. What is interesting is that two-day itineraries are highly recommended on the internet, which is exactly the duration of the tour I chose. And two days are truly enough for visiting the most beautiful and most important parts of Budapest: The Royal palace, Fisherman's bastion, Buda castle, Mattias church, Heroes' square... Plus Danube river night cruise is another must! See below the recap of all places I visited, then clink the link to learn more about each location!

Budimpešta, prestonica Madjarske, i jedan od najlepših evropskih gradova ako je sudeći po brojnim istorijskim spomenicima, znamenitostima i prelepoj arhitekturi. Najbolje vreme za posetu je kasno proleće i leto. Ono što je zanimljivo je to što mnogi preporučuju itinerere tj. aranžmane od dva dana, što je upravo trajanje ture za koju sam se ja odlučila. I potpuno je dovoljno dva dana za obilazak najlepših i najznačajnijih delova Budimpešte, kao što su: Kraljevska palata, Ribarev bedem, Budimska tvrdjava, Matejina crkva, Trg Heroja… Plus večernje krstarenje Dunavom se ne sme propustiti!

Today on "travel menu": the last photos of the sightseeing tour of stunning Budapest which I was eager to share with you! Here you can see some parts of Buda castle, such as the entrance (photo above) to the Royal Palace. This was our last quick stop (we just had 15min to take some photos), after Matthias Church (reminder here) and Fisherman's Bastion (here)...

Danas na "travel meniju": poslednje fotografije ture razgledanja prelepe Budimpeste koje sam bila zeljna da podelim sa vama! Na slikama se mogu videti neki delovi Budimske tvrdjave, kao sto je ulaz (slika iznad) u Kraljevsku Palatu. Ovo je bilo nase poslednje stajaliste (imali smo nekih 15-tak minuta za fotografisanje), nakon Matejine crkve (podsetnik ovde) i Ribarevog bedema (ovde)...

Let's continue our Budapest sightseeing tour, shall we?:) So we saw Heroes' Square (if you haven't, see it here), and then the bus took us over the long Chain Bridge to gigantic Buda Castle. There are a lot of pretty parts within the majestic Buda Castle, but definitely the most wonderful part for me was Matthias Church. No surprise here, as this church is considered one of the prettiest churches in Budapest and one of the most unique religious buildings in the whole Europe!

Hajde da nastavimo nase panoramsko razgledanje Budimpeste, hocemo li?:) Dakle videli smo Trg Heroja (ako ste preskocili, vidite ovde), i onda nas je autobus odvezao preko dugog Lancanog mosta do gigantske Budimske tvrdjave. Postoji puno divnih delova u sklopu Budimske tvrdjave, ali definitivno meni najfascinantniji deo je Matejina crkva (neko je zove i Matijasova)! Nimalo iznenadjujuce jer se ova crkva smatra jednom od najlepsih crkava u Budimpesti i jednom od najunikatnijih religioznih gradjevina u citavoj Evropi!

Trip location: Hungary. We left Belgrade around midnight, and arrived in Budapest in the early morning hours. We'll ignore the slight pressure in the head from the lack of sleep in the bus, and perhaps weak coffee after the border, and we'll start our sightseeing tour of Budapest. The first thing they took us to see, and what I believe is the beginning of every classical tour, is the impressive Heroes' Square (Hősök Tere) near the Andrássy avenue and the City Park. It's always packed with people, most of whom are tourists, and I just don't know how I managed to take pictures like these ones which show the opposite (witty girl, lol)! Anyway, let's now share some information for the cute curious minds!;)

Za Madjarsku smo krenuli iz Beograda oko ponoci, turistickim autobusom, i u Budimpestu stigli u ranim jutarnjim casovima. Zanemaricemo neznatni pritisak u glavi od nespavanja, i mozda slabe kafe nakon granicnog prelaza, i krecemo u obilazak Budimpeste. Prvo sto su nas odveli da vidimo, a sto je verujem i pocetak svake klasicne turisticke ture, jeste impresivni Trg Heroja (Hősök Tere) u blizini Andrasi (Andrássy) bulevara i Gradskog parka. Uvek krcat ljudima od kojih su vecina turisti, i ne znam samo kako sam ja uspela da uslikam ove fotografije a da pokazuju suprotno (svaka mi cast, haha)! Elem hajde da sad podelim par informacija za slatke znatizeljne mozgice!;)

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to spend less than 48 hours in Budapest, capital of Hungary. Budapest is a beautiful European city, and there are countless pretty things that my mum and I saw, but definitely the most wonderful experience for me was the evening boat cruise on the river Danube! The cruise on a cute covered boat lasted one hour, accompanied by the sound of "The Blue Danube waltz". Beautifully illuminated buildings such as the Parliament and the famous bridges which are decorated with different lights: Chain Bridge, Liberty Bridge, Margaret Bridge, Elisabeth Bridge... It was a chilly night, it was even raining the whole evening, but fortunately none of that couldn't spoil the experience...

Pre nekog vremena, imala sam priliku da provedem nepunih 48h u Budimpesti, prestonici Madjarske. Budimpesta je divan evropski grad, i postoji bezbroj lepih stvari koje smo mama i ja videle, ali definitivno najlepse iskustvo za mene je bila vecernja voznja brodom po Dunavu! Voznja natkrivenim brodicem je trajala sat vremena, pracena zvukom valcera "Na lepom plavom Dunavu". Predivno osvetljene gradjevine kao sto je Parlament i znameniti mostovi od kojih je svaki dekorisan drugacijim svetiljkama: Lancani most, Most slobode, Margaretin most, Elizabetin most... Bilo je prohladno, cak je i kisica padala citavo vece, ali srecom nista od toga nije uspelo da pokvari dozivljaj...
