What an amazing city! Pretty hard not to love the incredible views along the Danube. From Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament Buildings, both day and night are truly spectacular.

We joined hungary phototours for a 4 hour walk about the City. I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable and professional our guide Miklos was. We hit all the highlights and a few hidden gems along the way. He gave great advice on exposure settings, composition and exposure. Money well spent, if you find yourself in Budapest with a few hours to kill, look him up! Here are a few of my favorites from the tour;

And then there was Szimpla-Kert ruin bar. Let’s just say the night got away from us and the next day was, well, a bit painful. Might have had something to do with Helen and Darren, our new friends from Kilkenny and the rest of the crew from Ireland. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
