🇭🇺 "I Forgive You, Hungary" - A Brutally Honest Budapest Guide 😅
First shocker: Budapest Airport has Chinese signage! 🇨🇳 🚇 1. Transportation • Buy tickets at airport based on needs (metro/bus/tram come every few mins). • Warning: Stops are super close (~1 min apart) – don’t miss yours while scrolling! 📵 • 100E Airport Express: Not covered in passes (~€5, buy on board with card). 🌆 2. Attractions (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly) "Cloudy Budapest is so ugly!" (But sunset saved us 🌇) ✅ Parliament Building • Night Cruise MUST: See the golden glow up close (book student tickets on Taobao!). • Pro Fail: We took the last rainy-day cruise (tiny boat w/ headphones + Chinese audio). • Best Photo Spot: Batthyány tér station (address pinned 👇). ✅ Fisherman’s Bastion • Sunset turns Parliament golden – 2nd floor costs $$$, 1st is free. • Blue Hour Magic – insta-worthy! 📸 ✅ Buda Castle • Skip the cable car – walk up in 15 mins (follow crowds or Xiaohongshu hacks). • Pro Tip: Spring cherry blossoms make it next-level pretty. 🌸 ❌ New York Café • Long queues + "overpriced & ugly" (per 🍠). We turned back – anyone tried it? 🍔 3. Food Hits & Misses 🌟 McDonald’s FOIE GRAS BURGER (~€10) – WORTH IT! 🍎 Apple Foie Gras at Kiskakukk Restaurant (100-yr-old spot): • Rating: ★★★★★ (only for this dish!) • Pricey: €85 + 15% service charge (but fancy vibes). 💡 Final Tips • Central Market has weird hours – check before going! • Other sights? Meh unless you love history. #BudapestTruths #HungaryTravel #ParliamentByNight #FishermansBastion #BudaCastle #FoieGrasLover
