Brenna - we are doing a Viking River cruise in later June that starts in Budapest. We will just be there for a couple days. We will travel down the Danube through Vienna and Austria, into Germany, ending in Regensberg. But Budapest I s what I am looking forward to the most! Thanks for the ideas!
That sounds like a really amazing trip! I have been to Budapest once before. But I did not visit the thermal baths. I liked the food and the architecture!
Budapest was one of those place that really surprised me when I visited a few years ago (in a good way). Loved the food, architecture, and thermal baths.
I have been enjoying reading all your posts and getting caught up on your life's journey. I am so intrigued reading your impressions of life in Italy! Before the pandemic, Lanny and I were living in Florence for 3 months, every year. It was our second home!
Budapest has been high on my list for a while. Your lovely account of your trip has cemented that.
Yeah it was really beautiful 🤩
Lovely to read this piece. Hungary is on my list of places to go
Thanks Minh! I’m glad we got to explore it!
I went to Rudas bath when I last visited Budapest. Liked that it wasn’t so busy and full of other tourists, too.
Really enjoyed Margaret Island while I was visiting there as well.
Oh! Something to explore on my next visit! I had heard of it but in the freezing cold I don’t think we would have enjoyed it as much.
This was lovely to read Brenna, I was born in Budapest and my parents had their first date at Cafe Gerbeaud!
Nice job making it over to Rudas, it does tend to be a more local bath and the jacuzzi on the rooftop with the view is beautiful.
Stoppppp 🥹 thinking about your grandparents having their first date there is beyond cute! How sweet!
The only thing I didn’t get the hang of while I was there was Hungarian! Very tricky language!

Yes the food is super yummy 😋

Yes I left that weekend feeling so relaxed! ☺️ plus I learned so much.
Naples isn't my cup of tea, there are better places in Italy for me. But then again, I prefer the countryside over the city. That said a nearby place was tempting despite the high population. https://darylhunterpolyhistor.substack.com/p/colorful-procida-italy
Procida is lovely. Napoli has grown on me too!
I’m headed to Budapest later this month! Reading about that rooftop pool at Rudas bath has me excited.
You will love it! The food was so good too! Huge goulash fan! 🍲
I think I'm getting convinced to go this year!
