We got off the boat at 10.00 and arrived at the Marriott Hotel in Pest around 10.30, for a very short trip it took a long time. We wandered around till, had a great lunch at a burger place and then got an early check in around 1.00. We chilled for a while and then decided to go for another walk and scope out where we would go for dinner. We found the street our guide had shown us the previous day that had great restaurants and then went back with friends later for dinner at a lovely little Bistro.Read more
Today we got up around 7.00 and had breakfast in the dining room downstairs. We then walked over to Buda where the palace is and got the Funicular up to the palace. It is like a small city on on top of the hill, we walked from one end to the other. Then we had a coffee and then got the Funicular back down. We then walked back to Pest where the hotel is and had lovely lunch at restaurants near the hotel, I had Hungarian tasting plate which is like ploughmans lunch Hungarian style and Jen had chips. We decided to have a quiet afternoon having a nap and watching TV before going out for dinner at an Italian restaurant just down the road.Read more
Well last full day in Budapest, we went back to the markets and did our last minute shopping. Them I had to buy a new bag :) We wandered around the shops that hadn't had a chance to see yet, mostly out of our price range but great window shopping. Had a lovely lunch and then back to the hotel for a Nana nap. We went out to a French restaurant for dinner, which was amazing but pricey and then to the hotels rooftop cocktail bar to watch the sunset.Read more
