🌟 The hidden gem in Hungary’s westernmost region — Sopron! A millennium-spanning journey around every corner 💫 I originally planned just a quick visit, but I was completely captivated by the charm of this medieval town and ended up extending my stay by a day! 💒 Who would have thought!

A must-see when exploring Budapest, Hungary, is St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent István Bazilika). This beautiful cathedral, visible from anywhere in the city, exudes an awe-inspiring presence. ⛪ Beautiful Ceiling The first thing that catches your eye upon entering is the dome's ceiling (inside). It's densely covered in gold leaf and beautiful mosaics, creating a breathtakingly magnificent sight. It's worth visiting just to see this ceiling! 🎫 Ticket Purchase and Important Notes I purchased my ticket at the dedicated ticket office right next to the cathedral. I went without a reservation and only had to wait a short while, but it seems to get quite crowded on some days, so booking in advance is probably the smoothest and most reliable option. ⛰️ 360-Degree Panorama from the Dome You can take an elevator up to the observation deck (outside the dome), from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Budapest's beautiful cityscape! Walking around the dome's perimeter and gazing at the Danube River and historical buildings was breathtakingly beautiful. 🚶 Access Located in a bustling part of the city, I walked there while exploring Budapest! There are also many stylish cafes nearby! 🎹 Enjoy Music and the Seasons Organ concerts are sometimes held on Monday evenings (please check locally for details!). And in winter, a Christmas market is held in front of the cathedral. It seems you can look down on the glittering market from this observation deck, so winter is also highly recommended! ✨ 📍 Szent István Bazilika Budapest, Szent István tér 1, 1051 #MustSeeSightseeing #StStStVajraCathedral #Budapest #Hungary #Hungary #Cathedral

The Central Market (Nagycsarnok) in Budapest is a large indoor market. Its Gothic entrance, dominated by deep orange and tangerine colors, could easily mistake it for an opera or concert hall. Opened in 1897, it boasts a history of nearly 130 years. A tram stop is located right outside the market, making it extremely convenient to reach. The indoor market is famous for its produce, handicrafts, dried fruits and spices, daily necessities, chocolate, refrigerator magnets, postcards, and local delicacies. The market has three floors. The basement and first floor primarily sell food, while the second floor houses handicrafts and restaurants. It's a must-visit in Budapest, perfect for a bite to eat and a souvenir to take home. ❗ ⭐ The paprika here is quite famous, and I highly recommend it. Hungarian paprika is said to be among the best in the world. The packaging is also different, with options for tin and cloth packaging (which also comes with a small wooden spoon). I think the cloth packaging is very creative, and I recommend asking the vendor about the spiciness level before purchasing. It makes a great souvenir. ❗ #hangary🇭🇺 #Nagycsarnok #travel #travelholic

Built in honor of the fishermen who once protected the city, it's a popular spot for tourists to relax, sip coffee, and enjoy the slow-paced views. ☕️ ⛪️ Matthias Church: This historic church, located near the Fisherman's Bastion, is notable for its colorful tiled roof and exquisite Gothic architectural details.

Nietzsche once said: "When I want to express music in one word, I find Vienna. And when I want to express mystery in one word, I only think of Prague." Bohemian Czech Republic 🇨🇿, a country full of music, Austria 🇦🇹, a country full of romance, Hungary 🇭🇺 If you prefer cultural scenery, and Spain and Portugal are too hot in summer, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary are the best choices! ~ Czech Republic 🇨🇿 [Charles Bridge] spans the Vltava River, connecting Prague Castle District and the Old Town, built in the 14th century, with many sculptures and attractions on the bridge [St. Vitus Cathedral] located in Prague Castle, the bell tower at the top of the tower is a great place to overlook Prague [Old Town Square] has many Renaissance buildings and sculptures, such as the Astronomical Clock and St. Nicholas Church [CK Town] a medieval dream town, with orange-red roofs, winding Vltava River, and cobblestone streets, all of which make time seem to stay in the 18th century ~ Austria 🇦🇹 [Schönbrunn Palace] its splendor and size are second only to the Palace of Versailles in France, and there are some small landscapes hidden in the garden, such as the Roman ruins [Hallstatt Town] known as "the most beautiful town in the world", surrounded by mountains, the lake and mountains are very magnificent [Vienna Golden Hall] the hall has magnificent decorations and stunning acoustics, it is a sacred place for music lovers around the world ~ Hungary 🇭🇺 [Fisherman's Bastion] combines neo-Gothic, neo-Roman, and Hungarian local styles, the Fisherman's Bastion at sunrise is the most anticipated! [Parliament Building] the building is close to the riverbank, under the red dome is the domed hall, where important meetings and celebrations are held, the Parliament Building also incorporates Hungarian national style, its exterior and interior structure are precisely symmetrical [Matthias Church] presents a neo-Gothic and Baroque architecture, abandoning the symmetrical structure, with a tall bell tower built in one corner of the church, which makes the whole building more light and delicate

Pearl of the Danube✨Dreamy Central Europe✨ Budapest, the most beautiful city in Europe✨ Mangalica pork has a melting point of 26℃, and the fat melts when you touch it✨ I flew to Hungary because I wanted to eat Hungary's national treasure, "Mangalica pork"✈️ While browsing trip.com, I found that a flight from Fukuoka to Budapest was only 80,000 yen! All included! Qatar Airways🇶🇦, which I used, is an oil-rich country, so there is no fuel surcharge. A hotel with a kitchen was also about 20,000 yen for one week, so I decided immediately. Alcohol is cheap! 330ml beer is just over 100 yen, and wine is about 300 yen per bottle. And the subway escalators are fast! There are many kind people in Hungary, and they stopped to help me when I was in trouble 🥰 Hungary is often treated as a side trip to Austria, but I recommend spending some time there ✨ [Budapest Central Market] Opening hours: 6am-3pm Closed on Sundays [Belvárosi Disznótoros - Király utca] 📍Location: Budapest, Király u. 1d, 1075 Hungary Opening hours: 11am-10pm #Hungary #Budapest #Budapest Central Market #Hungary Trip #Budapest Trip #0 Yen Trip

In Hungary, the home of foie gras, all good foie gras is consumed domestically! You can eat foie gras steak for about 2000 yen😋 The moment you cut it, the foie gras juice overflows, and it's so delicious you get goosebumps❤️ Restaurants have a 10% tip, 10% consumption tax, and 27% consumption tax on everything except food! Just like in Japan, distance is in meters, weight is in grams, and liquid is in liters. This is great😊 It's also a hot spring powerhouse with over 100 hot springs♨️ [Macesz Bistro] 📍Location: Budapest, Dob u. 26, 1072 Hungary Opening hours: 12:00-23:00 Open until midnight on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays #Hungary #Budapest #Hungary trip #Budapest trip #Foie gras #0 yen trip

Hungary🇭🇺 is where paprika was made from bell peppers and chili peppers. Paprika is used generously in cooking. It can be made into a paste, and in their signature dish "goulash," beef and vegetables are stewed with paprika. Goulash is like Japanese miso soup😊 The dish is "paprika szczirke," a chicken dish made by slowly simmering chicken and paprika and adding sour cream. The side dish is garshka, which has a chewy texture similar to suiton. Although bread is the staple food, rice like pilaf and suiton are also eaten, so it suits the Japanese palate well. The seasoning is strong, but it doesn't feel strange❤️ Meat products such as salami are also a specialty, and most of the fish are freshwater fish caught in the Danube River. There are few fishmongers even in large supermarkets. The currency is the forint, not the euro. As of August 2024 1 forint = 0.41 yen [Tüköry Étterem] 📍Location: Budapest, Hold u. 15, 1054 Hungary 🕰️Opening hours: 11am-10pm #Goulash #Hungarian travel #Budapest #Budapest cuisine #0 yen travel

Day1: ☑️Széchenyi Chain Bridge Suitable for a night walk to enjoy the night view Day2: ☑️Fisherman's Bastion It's recommended to go early for photos when there are fewer people! ☑️Matthias Church ☑️Buda Castle ☑️New York Café A beautifully decorated café, ladies should definitely wear a gorgeous dress for photos! (Walk in the afternoon, only a 5-minute wait in line, no need for reservations as mentioned online) Day3: ☑️Budapest Central Market The first floor of the market sells chocolate, foie gras, bread, vegetables, fruits, etc., the second floor mainly has souvenirs and clothes, but the specialty chocolate has a peculiar taste, worth trying but not recommended to buy a lot ☑️Liberty Bridge The green iron bridge ☑️Night view photography across from the Hungarian Parliament Building Taxi address: Batthyány tér Transportation🚗: For convenience, I took a taxi directly from the airport to the city center, costing around €35. Taxi app: Bolt. Students can also choose to buy a ticket from the airport to the city center for 200E on the BudapestGo App Danube River Cruise🚢: I bought the cruise ticket on the Duna Cruises official website for €29/person. The boat is quite new, with two levels, the upper level is open-air (you need to queue up early if you want to sit on the upper level), and the ticket includes a glass of sparkling wine. I recommend choosing a time just before sunset, the Hungarian Parliament Building is very photogenic when lit up! Cuisine: ☑️Meet You Every Day Ordered noodles in the morning, tasted quite good ☑️Town Hall Authentic Chengdu hotpot, the base is very fragrant! Recommended for everyone to try when traveling! (Picture 9) ❌Comme Chez Soi Highly recommended by many but actually a bit disappointing, the apple foie gras was a bit fishy, the seafood pasta was mediocre, and there was a beef soup that resembled borscht, not recommended

Every winter may be a little special because Covid has kept us at home for a long time. When we came out to Europe to study Hungarian, we felt that this year's Christmas was more beautiful and warmer than ever. There was a small Christmas market selling wine and handmade products. It's the perfect season to visit various museums because the weather is cold. Anyone who has been to Europe may think of Vienna, but unfortunately Vienna has canceled the event this year and announced a lockdown. I can only hope that things will improve soon. #Secret location ##Waiting for the day to travel

The shop I'd like to recommend today is in the small town of Szentendre, a charming city that Hungarians love to cycle to. It's about 20 kilometers away, right on the river. A leisurely bike ride through the city is a mix of old towns, shops, restaurants, and beautiful views. In the heart of the city is a delicious ice cream shop with affordable prices, starting at 35 baht. The flavors are common, but the atmosphere is chill and crowded, especially during the summer. It's perfect for chilling out, enjoying the atmosphere, and enjoying delicious ice cream. #cafereview #afternoonteareview

Favourite specialty coffee place in Budapest so far. Everything was spot on. Own light roasts extracted just right, hitting that sweetness spot. Didn’t have any food but the menu looked very attractive as well. cozy coffee/tea shop that has a small but great quality menu. The vibe was very comfortable and chill. I ordered a filtered coffee from Ethiopia (they had choices from Guatemala, Ethiopia, and El Salvador for coffee) and my friend had a white tea. We both enjoyed our selections. Amazing coffee. It was the right temperature and naturally sweet. If you are a coffee purist then you will love this place! No sugar signs pretty much everywhere, which is how coffee should be. Highly recommend #café

Budapest on a rainy day 🖤 Getting soaked without an umbrella, having to smile and taking photos was tough, but it made for a place with so many memories! 😖 My friend is currently interning in Budapest, and I can't wait to go back and see the Parliament Building, Fisherman's Bastion, and everything! 🙏🙏 #BudapestTravel #HungaryTravel
