Budapest - Day 1

We visited St Stephens’ Basilica first, which was spectacular. After that, we hopped on a bus over to the Buda side of the river and made our way up to the castle where there was a folk festival. We got some Lángos. Alex has a photo of them! They are like big flat churros with stuff on top... of your choice. Alex had the veggie option, Elena and I had meat 🥩

Next we went to the National Gallery and saw some Hungarian art, followed by a stroll down the hill and over the Chain Bridge, which was pedestrianised because there was a music festival on there today, which we stopped to look at.

My only gripe about the city is that you have to pay for ALL toilets and there are no water fountains.
