A wonderful overview of the city. Imagine nearly 3 years of that, out on the town every night. My apartment was just by the Erzsebet Bridge Pest side. Back in those days though the whole place was a bit more atmospheric, Hungarian, and authentic. The level of renovations and development that has occurred since they joined the EU is huge. And the prices are something else. That meal you had which came to Ft91K!!!!!!. In my time there ( 25 years ago ) that meal would have been Ft4K tops ( for 3 of us ). You could have dinner out, pkt of fags, & hit the bar till 2am and get change from Ft5K. You could get a big detached Villa over in Buda for £100K then. I know it was a long time ago now, but the cost of living back then compared to London was like 10%, now I bet it is like 80%, if not more. I still love the place though - I knew some fab folk whilst there.

Thank you for the lovely comments and for sharing your own memories. It is such a beautiful City and has so much character and charm. Unfortunately we didn’t get to do the evening boat trip to see the City lights and for some reason the Parliament building wasn’t lit up when we were there either. Still a fantastic destination and we’d recommend it to anyone just like you.

@@Those_Travelholics Where's next on the list?? Never be without something to look forward to! We did a week in Santiago Chile 3 weeks ago and that was really lovely. We are off to Riga in Nov and then a cruise on the Queen Anne in January ( never been on a ship before ! )...

Well, Steven is taking a little solo long-weekend to Orlando on Thursday for some Halloween fun. Luke's out of annual leave so is being left behind on his own! After that though, our next adventure will be on a Mediterranean cruise. Starting at the end of October with a couple of days in Athens. Then we head off on the cruise, calling at Mykonos, Sicily and Palma De Mallorca before finishing in Barcelona where we will stay for a couple of days before heading home. Looking forward to showing everyone that. And for our first cruise experience too!
