The Magazine Hotel was such a great place, literally over looking St Stephens and a quick walk to the ruin bars and the Jewish Quarter! Take a look at Magazine Hotels website here themagazinehotel.com or check out the pricing, reviews and more details here: bit.ly/2BAa66E
Budapest is a crazy cool place! This travel vlog is our first from Hungary and covers our exploring on the Pest side of Budapest. Today we visit (and drink at) some ruin bars & pubs, explore the cathedral known as St Stephens Basilica & walk around the Jewish Quarter.
Ruin pubs in Budapest are really popular - the bar scene in Budapest has a pretty good reputation globally! Prior to coming to Hungary we actually didn't know what a ruin bar was, so today we figured it out! One of our new fav type of pubs to travel around and explore.
St. Stephens Basilica is the largest church in Budapest and named after Saint Stephen of Hungary. Inside the church was stunning and definitely worth a visit on your travels around the city!
The Jewish Quarter of Budapest is home to a lot of the mentioned ruin bars and pubs, but offers a lot more as well. We loved walking around the streets here!

Budapest is amazing! Wish we had more time on our visas to showcase more, but Croatia is calling us ❤️ Take a look at the pricing and reviews of Magazine hotel here: bit.ly/2BAa66E

[@BoStark]

Budapest is of my most favourite cities in Europe.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We agree!

[@GrahamofWhite]

One of the most common mistakes in Europe is planning more time in Prague than needed and less time in Budapest than needed.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

You honestly hit the nail on the head. We would have loved more time in Budapest and would happily of traded some of that time from our 10 days in Prague!

[@81skora]

Absolutely true, Prague is not worth to visit. Budapest is great city and great people. Greetings from Poland :)

[@_________4292]

Hi, i love Budapest. Best from Poland

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Such a great city!! Oh, you were second as well, congrats 🥈

[@_________4292]

thanks, I have been there twice and I'm sure I will go third time:-)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We're jealous! A few days isn't enough time haha

[@hollosiabigel6553]

And Hungary love Poland! 👩‍❤️‍👩

[@hollosiabigel6553]

Pa Ma We would help always for Poland. They are our brothers

[@animalsareourangels93]

Just so beautiful! My parents were born in Budapest! They have both recently passed away! I must visit Budapest soon. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful trip with us. Blessings from Canada!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Sorry to hear for your loss, but happy we could help show you what Buda is like :)

[@sourdeezal9807]

I'm a simple Polack. I see Hungary i click like 👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thaaaaaaanks!!

[@ShadowViewsOnly]

Lengyel Magyar két jó barát - együtt harcol s issza borát! :)

[@TheFluffiesChannel]

Budapest is a great city. There are many things to discover. A visit to the roof of the Basilica is a must do.

[@Dude_Slick]

We were there in June for a week, and had a great time. We used an AirBNB and got a 2br apartment with full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a balcony, for $340. I absolutely love that city.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Some good deals to be had for sure! Epic city :)

[@davidlepar9182]

Very good! Welcome in Budapest! (from Hungary) 🇭🇺🇭🇺

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks David!

[@angelaD93]

I just came back from Budapest, it's a very beautiful city. I really enjoy it! I can't wait for coming back! 😊

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We feel the same, any time is too short!

[@fatimaberada5774]

From Morocco 🇲🇦 love hungary 🇭🇺

[@ErinColleennamaste]

So enjoy the bits and pieces of history you provide in your vlogs

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yay - our little research bits pay off then

[@paulkemp9963]

Just about your best video I reckon. Informative, respectful and great to watch. Love Budapest, would love to go back.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That means a lot, thanks Paul! We agree, amazing place and a few days is no where near enough

[@temperateortropical161]

Return in cooler months & enjoy the spa baths, especially Rudacs. Great bakery café on Hold ut.

[@yapgimkwee8842]

Hungary rocks.

[@carolinehayden7455]

Just got back from Budapest stayed on pest loved it 🇭🇺🇨🇮😍

[@CreamyMaple]

Aaah, I went to Budapest this summer for 4 days and I didn't know that this city is so amazing♡! It is my favourite place to go now -w-! I was surprised how friendly the people are and everything.. EVERYTHING was delicious😂👌❤

[@abhirupd2231]

Just came back from Budapest. I visited Simpla Kert ruin bar on Saturday morning and there was a farmers market inside it with local sausages and paprikas which was a pleasant surprise. Love your videos, guys!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That sounds awesome! We avoided it there because we heard it was overly commercial and busy, that sounds great though

[@katarzynaczekaa1415]

Those ruin bars look so cool, How cool idea is that? Omg :D Can't wait for Buda part :D

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Brilliant idea huh, we love the creativity and expression of it all! Part 2 up in a few hours :)

[@karina791]

I had a „little” break, but I’m coming black to your videos 😊 Once, me and my hubby, we go to Budapest for whole 3 days (trip from Poland, we traveled by night). I found tickets for ~3$/person/go&return! It was the cheapest and the best trip in our lives! I would go there again, maybe in winter, when city organizes ice skating on the lake near Vajdahunyad Castle. Buda side was so beautiful, especially The Fisherman’s Bastion. It was so great, when the sun goes down, and you can see lights on The Pest side from The Gellert Hill 🤩 Our favourite bridge was The Freedom Bridge! We spent there our last evening. And their Parliament - amazing! The history of the city is very sad...but we loved this place! So many memories came back , thanks to you 😊 You are very nice couple! Wish you the best! Bye!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Wow thats a cheap trip! So glad you got the chance to visit. Todays upload will show the Buda side and a lot of the things you mentioned so can bring back nice memories for you guys :)

[@LazyTravelDays]

Your both so lovely. I really enjoy your uploads but it’s you both that make me feel happy. You have such great smiles and love for each other. Greg

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks, Greg! That was such a positive comment :)

[@michaelcoco3913]

Magic guys, I'll be there in two days. Appreciate the content!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Enjoy your trip! One more vid from Buda going up in a few hours

[@jorham1]

i like budapest because is magyar...different fron slavs or germanics....it has a special athmosphere...specially in the baths...so retro i like magyar language too

[@salanicus]

Great apartment/hotel! Amazing location too. Looks like a fun and charming city. Safe travels guys, J&K :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Really is an amazing city! Highly recommend.

[@stevek3306]

Loved your video guy! I’m 100% Hungarian and can’t wait to visit Hungary next year when I retire! Never been there but after watching your videos and friends telling me how beautiful it is I’m looking forward to visiting there.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

You're definitely going to enjoy it - Budapest is such an incredible place!

[@sherrimacdonald2157]

awesome! I've just come back from Budapeszt so I know exactly what you are talking about- I think my daughter carved her name somewhere in the ruin bar!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Did you have a good time? Such a great city

[@MrApaca]

Come and visit Budapest! Thanks for sharing this video guys! 👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks Robert - such an amazing place!

[@keetamay6435]

Budapest took me by surprise. Was only suppose to stay 3 days on my euro trip, ended up staying a week. Party at night and explore by day!!. Retox Hostel was AMAZING! Party Hostel run by Kiwi's and Aussies.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So true - it's got a really cool feel to it! Can only imagine it was awesome at the hostel

[@adamthedev]

Awesome. I'm there next week. Keep up the vids!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

You'll love it! New video up in a few hours

[@Balazs_]

Have a great time here but watch out for high prices Gets me sometimes as well

[@adamthedev]

Balázs Réfi Thanks! Do you have any tips for avoiding the high prices? I'm in Budapest for a week then heading to Krakow!

[@Balazs_]

@@adamthedev Not really any good advice on that but don't buy street food on very popular places... Tbh most street food places are expensive in Budapest But the two things you have to try are definitely Gulyás leves (Goulash soup) and Lángos (basically deep fried bread but delicious imo)

[@joaovictormedeiros5770]

So beautiful! Definily on my list to live in. Great vlog like always, guys!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We highly recommend, such an epic city!

[@Balazs_]

No regret on moving

[@itsdennis]

OMG, next time you visit Budapest go to the Flipper Museum! It's an entire museum full of over 200 classic pinball machines and arcade games, some dating back over 60 years! It's a short walk from the Parliament building and for around 12USD you have UNLIMITED play! I miss it.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That actually sounds epic! Especially because there was one in Krakow that we didn't get to, missed out twice now.

[@debbies5572]

Very much enjoyed our recent visit to Budapest felt safe enjoyed the food and wonderful architecture.. Will be definitely going again next year..

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Sounds like you had a great time as well, Debbie - amazing city.

[@Thirstytraveler41]

Nice hotel, I like the name and Budapest looks nice...Nice vlog!

[@TonTos.Tomahawk]

Nice job guys makes me feel good you really injoyed my homeland.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We loved it! Will come back and spend longer next time.

[@jamesholder483]

I'm there in a few weeks. It looks amazing. Fun fact: the basilica is the same height as the parliament building and they are the 2 highest points in the city as other buildings can't be higher than God.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Great point, James, we didn't spot that! Hope you have an amazing time. Our second Buda vlog just went up if you want to see the other side of the water as well.

[@sherrimacdonald2157]

oh my goodness!! we spent two nights at the wine bar below!! it is awesome- they only sell local wines......but because the area is deemed residential it does close early. enjoy your stay. :)

[@1NM2TFA3]

We went to Budapest a few years ago at Christmas time. It was absolutely stunning! I hope you all go back sometime.

[@zoecowin2823]

We stayed not far from there.... Nice story guys look forward to seeing your impressions of Buda - side point that "pool" you walked past at Deak Ferenc Square actually has a bar under it and you can look up through the pool 😉

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Wooooo really? Theres a viewing point underneath?? We went to explore it again but there was some big gig on so we couldnt get close enough.

[@CambodiaNomadTips]

Great video as usual 😊

[@RexWaldron]

You guys have a real talent for hunting out unusual and cool accommodation and this one is no exception! We have a Punjabi friend whose partner is Hungarian and he lives between the UK and Hungary so will have to quiz him about ruined bars. They sound amazing. Yet again I learn something new from your vlogs! 🤘

[@apntv]

Looking forward to part 2, we are heading out there next week :-)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Part 2 is live now, have an amazing trip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYDChHiQoKZsmLs&lc

[@SZARMANCS]

Hi Guys, Nice video, I hope you've had good time. On the first hand many thanks for pronouncing the word Budapest properly (most of the times😀). On the other hand I want to share two things; 1. We don't have Jewish quarter. The place what people are use to call by that name refers to the Jewish ghetto's position in the Second World War. 2. The smell is because of all the drunken peoples are constantly urinating on the street..😪 Thanks for the visit, next time try these; kőrözött, hortobágyi palacsinta, rakott krumpli, and házi pálinka. All the bests; István

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We loved it, thanks! Haha a life time of knowing it as BudapeST is hard to break, but we tried our best to remember to say it how a local would lol. Thanks for the comment and feedback

[@MonerPutul]

Nice vlog. Places are awesome. You both look cool😊😊

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks so much!

[@MonerPutul]

Daneger and Stacey welcome and keep creating more vlog 😊 It would be honour for me if you visit my channel if possible 😊

[@TravellersRelish]

The balloons definitely made an awesome addition in the q&a vlog. The hotel is gorgeous and the location, couldn’t beat that. The bar looks great it has character

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So much character in Budapest, especially if you like coffee and alcohol ☺️🤭🤭

[@TravellersRelish]

Daneger and Stacey haha nice

[@jankoolsky4628]

austro hungarian empire is the key for understand this similarities in architecture and culture

[@leop.1914]

yeah (@6:50), as an austrian it was pretty crazy to see in prague similarities between the archtecture from vienna and prague. What I can remember is the yellow color and a lot of same shapes of churches in both cities. In slovakia I expirienced the same. But about the similarities in culture I dont know anything :).

[@tamasszorcsik5473]

The place u had the beer,is called stone soup garden! 🇭🇺

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

Ohhhh someone snuck another vlog on me!!! YAYYYY!!!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

About to sneak another in as well, few hours away!

[@zeli2005]

I just got back from Budapest. Really liked that city. Absolutely impressed by its good mix of European and Magyar characteristics.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Sounds like an epic trip, Budapest is definitely a sick spot huh!

[@BGWordneemig]

Thank you for you come in watch my city! 😊

[@rajuchamling5779]

Very beautiful Budapest Hungary

[@MrJlin1982]

You missed Aquicum in Obuda. The roman ruine side of the fundation of Budapest (Obuda, Buda and Pest)

[@aminutewithmauiperez3905]

I agree love it

[@LonskiBig]

......yahhh...1st glance reminds me of Prague....on par with it on flight/hotel packages also- maybe a little more expensive..

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely agree with you there!

[@monlifes]

cool!

[@zbitykieliszek9358]

if you like meat factories turned bars, you gotta go to Copenhagen :D

[@C4Dado]

I've been there last month and I loved it! I'm italian, any cheap suggestion for the next travel? (This was my first travel)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Bucharest and most places in Bulgaria were cheaper - check our vlogs, we always share daily costs of coffee and beer and food

[@lailaagrado]

for sometime i wished to ask you guys..would you think of or discussed to visit N.Korea? :) And places like that- Chernobil, etc...

[@DanegerAndStacey]

10000% we would - there's such interesting stories to discover in places like that. The difficulty is planning something in yourself!

[@secondpc]

Nth Korea would see you hit 100k Subs in a week.... another quality vlog

[@balfake3117]

Well the first ruin pubs popped up about as late as 2000. But it _is_ true that many inner city buildings still bear bullet marks from WWII or from the 1956 revolution, if that's your thing.

[@skymester5217]

Next Time Go Szeged in Hungary this is a beautiful town in night ( from Hungary)

[@BenjaminIstvanCseko]

Nice vid. I thought the Jewish Quarter in Budapest looks most similar to Le Marais in Paris.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Interesting - been a long time since we’ve visited Paris so can’t compare.

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

The most beauitiful city imho .

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely is an amazing city!

[@Kryhakk]

It's impossible to see Budapest in 2 days xD I've been there for 4 and I still missed a lot of places :))

[@DanegerAndStacey]

It's impossible to see anywhere in 2 days but we're so grateful we got those 2 days, especially now since we can't travel anymore.

[@5t4rch1ld]

Kőleves Kert means stonesoup garden :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Oh really? Awesome - thanks!

You should have gone to the room in the back & and you'd found Szent István's right hand.

[@rukucc]

Imlive in budapest i bornt there á á á

[@AprilandTimTravel]

so ruin bars are the original hipters?!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha possibly!

[@ChefRafi]

So do you prefer Buda or Pest? 🤔

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hhhmmm the views of Buda, the bars of Pest would be the real winner haha

[@barrycrichley7709]

Did you go to the House of Terror?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Sadly not, but we've heard great things - next time!~

Haha we hadn't noticed that. Any shot in particular that you spotted the limping?

What is pisht?

Can't tell if you're taking the piss out of our accent or not haha? *Pest is one side of Budapest, Buda is the other side.

i honestly don't know what do you see similar in Budapest and Bucharest LOL

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Did we say that? Weird, looking back now I don't see much similaraties either

[@1391mad]

I m planning to go in Budapest in December.Could anyone give me advice about what should i do about the currency? Should i convert my euros in forints?Where should i do that so that i won't be ripped off? Or could i pay with euros?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Definitely don't pay in Euros, you'll pay 30% more for everything! Change it before you arrive or when you get there and it won't be too much difference

[@Dexxter_slav]

Of course those beers are good. Krusovice is Czech :D

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Ahhhh hahaha no that was just the glass! The beers were Soproni, a Hungarian beer :)

seen one half of Budapest in one day??? ...nooooo way

HAHA yeah for sure, did we say that? Hope not. We ticked off sooome of the spots on one half.

[@istvangranicz5082]

@@DanegerAndStacey at 11:43... You probably meant that one half of the spots you wanted to visit... but Budapest is much more than what you saw.

What the fuck, comparing Budapest to Sofia and Bucharest.... Are you insane?
