Budapest, Hungary

Budapest was on our list for a long time and just happen to be on the way from Ukraine to Germany. You can get here from Kyiv by WizzAir - tickets usually cost around 50-60 EUR, but we bought ours in advance and they were just 25 EUR per person.

We arrived in Budapest early in the morning and check-in in our rented apartment was only after 14:00, so we had to wait in a cafe nearby. We also had lunch there

After settling in and a short rest we went for an evening walk on the river bank. Our apartment was almost in the city center right in front of the river.

We lived in the yellow building on the right side.

Chain bridge, it was opened in 1849 and became first permanent bridge across Danube river.

On the next day it was raining in the morning. As usual, we decided to go to local city market, it was close to our place. There everything was without surprises. There are two levels in the market. On the first level they sell fruits, vegetables and meat. And on the second level there are some clothing shops and cafes. Also, there is a German discounter supermarket Aldi in the basement of the market building.
