Landed at Budapest Airport during a layover from Spain? Here’s how to maximize 7 hours (12PM-7PM) like a pro—feasting + sightseeing before your next flight! 🚀 Itinerary Breakdown 12:00 - Arrive at Budapest Airport • Bag Storage: Ground floor, turn right (5950 HUF/24h). • Transport: Buy 24-hour travel pass (2500 HUF) – works on buses, metro, trams 🚍🚇. • Pro Tip: Take 200E bus (cheaper than 100E) to Köbánya-Kispest station, then transfer to metro. 12:30 - Széchenyi Chain Bridge • Iconic bridge linking Buda & Pest – snap that postcard shot! 📸 13:30 - LUNCH at Lánchid Sörözö 🍽️ A 30-year-old Hungarian gem (perfect for Chinese taste buds!): 1️⃣ Beef Goulash: Tender beef + potatoes in a clay pot (🇭🇺 flavor bomb!). 2️⃣ Crispy Pork Knuckle: Crackling skin + soft meat + giant fries. 🐷 3️⃣ Duck Risotto: Juicy duck breast + creamy rice. 🦆 14:30 - Fisherman’s Bastion 🏰 • Fairytale towers + panoramic views (bus from Chain Bridge avoids uphill walk!). 15:30 - Hungarian Parliament 🏛️ • Gothic masterpiece by the Danube – stroll along the riverfront. 16:00 - Back to Airport • Return via 200E bus (remember: Köbánya-Kispest!). 💡 Survival Tips ✔️ 24h travel pass = no validation needed (just show inspectors). ✔️ NO open drinks on trams (RIP our mulled wine 😭). ✔️ Perfect for long layovers – Budapest’s downtown is worth the dash! #BudapestLayover #TravelHack #HungarianFood #FishermansBastion #ChainBridge #EuropeTravel #FastTravel
