BUDAPEST VAN LIFE: An Unforgettable Adventure!

[@SH-hx7bx]

Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

[@lourdesdoty7765]

My beloved Grandmother came here from Budapest when she was 13.

[@madisonlee6752]

Budapest is my favorite place I've ever been . I wish I had spent more time there.

[@doodlebug4022]

Thank you Snow and Curt for showing this beautiful city and for reminding everyone about the horrors of war. We must never forget what happened and realize that history has a way of repeating itself if we’re not careful. Snow you made me cry when you completed two days and all of that walking. You and Curt have had a wonderful time here and it shows in your faces. Now it’s time for a rest.

[@tibsim]

History is full of (J) lies!

[@LMin-p8w]

I have some Hungarian friends living here in the UK. Her parents visit about once a year and never fail to bring me spiced sausage among other things and it’s all amazing. I also have polish friends who bring me food when they return from visiting home. I’m very lucky. X

[@MerrilyVan]

Budepest is incredible. The shoes by the river a profoundly moving memorial. Thank you Snow and Curt!

[@tibsim]

Flow shoes are based on a movie... Title of the movie: Budapesti Tavasz (film, 1955) At the given time there was ice, and there was a thick layer of ice on the banks of the Danube, you can find the data on the official website. 20 thousand people were shot? Wow! Source? Enemies have always shot into the Danube in the course of history, e.g. the Jews shot Hungarians in 1919, or the Soviets whose attack the Jews helped at that time...

[@deedeesmith3073]

I’ve been to Europe and seen a lot but never made it to Budapest . I’m so going to put that on my list. What a beautiful city.

[@AnaClemente-r7i]

I vote this video as one of the best ones, if not the best one. Thanks for taking us along!

[@gram_o_phone]

As a born Budapester, thank you for showing us how lucky we are. People tend to forget the local treasures within reach.

[@orawancarlile6192]

Snow, you are looking better and healthier each time I watch you and Curt travels all these years since you showed off your home on wheels and your travelling, your adventures. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@denisemahood9162]

I agree - Snow you are looking great. You are looking like a 'mean, lean walking machine'. I took have had a few heart surgeries and once over the initial healing process, I have found walking to be the best way for me to get my health and fitness back. Way to go!

[@lindabecker4609]

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful city! Your delicious Cocktail night high above the City was breathtakingly beautiful! Thank you for sharing this amazing tour! I’m blown away by the lovely friendly people, the luscious food scene! Wow!

[@livintheretiredlife6713]

I love the big old churches and this one has to be one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Your videography did it justice! Thank you for the effort you put into showing us the world as you travel it. I never will so I just love seeing your travels. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@rudfil]

I heard that Budapest is beautiful but I never would’ve thought it was this beautiful

[@deedeesmith3073]

Oh spend more days in Hungary !!! Love it more than anything I’ve seen.

[@bekimoore8761]

Stuffed cabbage and chicken paprikash has always been a favorite of mine. My grandma was Hungarian. She came to wok in the US for a year at 14. She ended up staying. She was a wonderful cook. 😊

[@constancegarcia7834]

Budapest is stunning thank you for sharing with us. ❤

[@suerop]

Simply amazing architecture. Thank you for sharing all of this beauty with us! You're the best your guides.

[@rrebelone0423]

Budapest is awesome! Hit the baths! Its a must do there! Also stay up late enough to see the light show on the bridge just before they turn off the lights! Not sure if it happens every night, but it happens around 11pm. 🤷🏼‍♀️🥰

[@bonniejackson1321]

You two never disappoint--you do your due diligence. What a world class city. The spa was my favourite.

[@rhondad9381]

What a beautiful city. And the view from the hotel bar, gorgeous!

[@kathleenchild]

Thanks for all the effort you put into making these exceptional and educational videos! Your beautiful videography, your great editing skills and your dedication to post 2 videos each week (while travelling) is very much appreciated. Thanks again for taking us along.

[@queens6583]

The memorial at the river's edge brought tears to my eyes. The Church was absolutely breathtaking and the organ was so beautiful and sounded like heaven. The Danube is a beautiful waterway and My brother-in-law and his wife took one of those Viking river boat trips up and down that river. I am so glad you treated yourselves to a taxi and a lovely cocktail on the looptop restaurant. Thanks for the tour and thanks to you Snow for putting in all the steps.

[@kathykenyon2079]

I never knew how beautiful Budapest is! What a great experience exploring the city!💕

[@cindycreateforlife]

I am almost speechless, this video and the music, the sadness and the joy of it just brought tears to my eyes! I just don’t know how you absorb so much amazingness in one lifetime, I am both envious and so happy for both of you! Budapest is off the charts amazing and I would never have known, now I want to go! Snow, you are a machine, so courageous and brave, so proud of you! Stay safe!💕🇨🇦

[@ldp6410]

I love your never-ending travels!! You guys are my favorites!! Besides showing us incredible cities, you show the day to day small towns & wonderful people.

[@jocrosley2478]

Oh, my, the heavenly music of the organs sent chills from the vibration of sounds through me, the ice cream flowers - yum yum, the blessed river walk of shoes - the Jewish sacrifice of souls - has been very memorable for me. Ending with the hope of light shining bright of the Parliament building in Budapest gives me a greatful heart that life is precious and should not be taken for granted! Thank you, Snow and Curt, for taking me with you on the journey today! Until next time, blessings, Jojo💜

[@jamielivingston7765]

So amazing that they keep the colors of the lights the same. That ia what makes it stunning. One street light in a cool (blue white) would ruin everything. That is truly impressive.

[@johnhunady3526]

Thank you for the spectacular drone views, and the night lights of those ornate buildings. ❤

[@fgerlits]

@12:55 The sour cream goes on the cabbage 🤣 The sausage dip (mustard) is in the other container.

[@SnowAndCurt]

☺️🍻❤️

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Was the hardest challenges they had....they came to Brazil, São Paulo where I was born...but Hungarian I am in my heart and memory of mom and my Hungarian scouting...wonderful friends...and mom was famous with her delicious cooking ...the Hungarian delicious deserts, lunch, cakes and more...she became a famous in her graduation in a legal divorce specialist ...she became very famous in her wonderful work...and I loved your very good moment ❤

[@cgreen186]

What a wonderful city. And how sad the shoe Memorial is. I love the food that you were eating it looked very good. My great-grandparents migrated to America from Europe. So growing up we ate a lot of European food. That meal looked delicious. What a beautiful tour you took us on. I look forward to my wednesday. Snow you're looking better and better. And Kurt, I admire you so much for looking out for your beautiful wife. I think Budapest was one of the most beautiful cities that I've seen so far in Europe. And the night view was spectacular!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thanks so much... We agree that Budapest is a really great city!

[@Lisabeefree-h7d]

You two have a great day and enjoy those beautiful scenery and sites of Budapest . Hello kitties ❤!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thank you! You too!

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Oh you two! So very happy Sno is doing so well. It would have been so easy to just stay home in Florida with family after the heart attack. But with your “I am going to live til I die “ attitude. I just know you’ve been rewarded. And you’ve proven my motto “ the more we do… the more we can do”. Hugs from Fl. I just got back from 12000 mile trip in my little Motorhome to the redwood na forest and oh so many beautiful places in between. At 74 w my little dog.

[@Jenci]

14:46 that is duck neck. I'm glad you found these great places to visit market and thermal hot spring spa. :) Little more to know the public transport vehicles with color: Bus with blue, trolley with red, tram with yellow, metro with white, train (MÁV-START) with blue-white (electricity) or red-white (diesel) and lastly surburb train (HÉV) with green.

[@lindawatson8087]

What amazing architecture. Beautiful.

[@joanfraser6500]

A beautiful city, absolutely amazing. Looking forward to your next stop and Snow, well done on all those steps and I'll bet you slept like a baby. 😊

[@GBonoJr]

Been there recently, absolutely beautiful city ❤

[@jellysalsa]

Stunningly beautiful!

[@msvg3]

Oh thank you for such a gorgeous tour of Budapest! ✌️❤️🚐

[@diannemclellan8341]

Loved your video of Budapest I have been lucky to visit the city twice once on a river curise & another on a bus tour it is a Beautiful City & the Building's are all so Beautiful with some sad history enjoying your Videos Cheers from Australia

[@mariaparker7545]

What a beautiful city well worth all the steps Snow... I never knew where the name Budapest came from... I learn so much from your videos.. You are not just a travel vlog.. Totally fantastic... love Saturdays and Wednesdays.

[@LorettaKnelsen-go7mf]

Hi Snow and Curt. Thank you for the beautiful tour of Budapest. Hi Kitties. ❤️❤️👋🏻🇨🇦

[@droneflyernick]

This city is now at the top of my bucket-list. Thank you for sharing.

[@mimirobin9336]

Beautiful!! I had no idea that Budapest was so amazing. Thank you for taking us along.

[@fayewilleboordse9695]

wow!! My M-I-L is from Budapest and fled in 1944 when the russians invaded, along with Nazis. The organ music gave me goosebumps and the shoes along the Danube brought tears. What an amazing video of an amazing city! Thank-you.

[@g-mabetty3088]

Wow, This video was amazing.

[@BJ-xs7np]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us from Budapest. Looking at the city through your eyes was so special and when you were seeing it at night through that restaurant at the top of the hotel, what came to my mind was "magical" and how it must have been super beautiful when you were there just taking it all in. I think your journey through Europe and that area of the world is so fun, places I will never see but I get to come along with you guys and I really thank you for this and thank God for media that I can share it with you.

[@candyclemens4432]

Beat you feel 🙌blessed awesome view. Breathtaking scenery 😍

[@jojodancer5016]

I’m SO happy you were able to get to the Gellert Baths. I went there in 1990 and it was a very different experience, but so fantastic. Real Roman baths. I loved Budapest. Safe travels!

[@djahant]

Wow. Being humbled and also amazed. Gave me chills. Absolutely incredible.

[@gtyler-2551]

Absolutely beautiful!!❤ Love to the kitty's 🐱 Thanks for sharing very interesting 👍

[@marycampbell7012]

This is one of your BEST videos. The views inside the church were awesome. The shoes were very sad. Then the view from the Hilton at night was most memorable. Glad you treated yourself to that view. I like the way Snow paces herself. Folks do not always realize when your touring using public transportation and visiting all the various spots there are so MANY steps to take. Glad you took a cab on the second day. PS FOOD LOOKED GOOD

[@lindathelondonb9504]

Thank you for making me stop and smell the roses!! My husband and I travel quite a bit, but we always seem to be in a hurry and never fully enjoy what we see - always trying to cram in as much as we can in what little time we have (because we'll never see it again, right?). I'm sure enjoying the views!! Love from London, ON 🇨🇦

[@elizabethsad8023]

So beautiful. Architecture rivers fountains . My cousins were there a few years ago & took photos of the shoes 💔💔💔 so terrible Does man ever learn 😢 Thankyou for showing us the beauty as well 🩵🩷🙏🏻

[@sofia_ines]

Just started watching, the shoes...😔 so sad! Will watch the rest of the video now. Thanks for sharing your adventures❤

[@AnaFlaviablumenau]

Amazing video! So beautiful this city! Congratulations Snow, you did really great your walking tour!

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

The sight of all those shoes at the side of the river makes me cry. 😢

[@janewolfe9137]

I did t realize that Budapest was so lovely! Thank you so much forking us with you! A Gram from MO.😘

[@suecbrn]

The views you showed us here were just stunning! I can only imagine just how much more gorgeous they were in person! I remember seeing the shoe memorial in a really nice image somewhere but did not know where it was. What a moving memorial! I had no idea how beautiful Budapest was! Now it's on my bucket list! And Snow, good for you on the steps! You are looking healthier and healthier! You guys are awesome!

[@MseLIIX-my1lq]

I feel honoured that you shared such a beautiful video from my home town ❤

[@balashark925]

The architecture on both sides of the river and the buildings and art is just stunning. Thanks for sharing

[@SnowAndCurt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lizacordoba1254]

Thank you for showing this. I will be going to Budapest is a few months, what a great sampler of what I will look forward to. Cant wait 😊

[@ForeverChanged7]

Snow! You are crushing the walking! Wow! Soo excited about seeing Budapest! I could live there I think! The churches are outrageously beautiful. The food looked soo good. The Danube River is beautiful. That memorial soo saddened me. Important history. How romantic was that rooftop restaurant?!! Wow! Really good luck getting your table and the girl was sooo nice at the restaurant to get you up there. Very nice! Well, even though the taxi cost more, I think I would prefer that. Public transportation is major exercise! Snow, you need to conserve your energy! Well thank you for taking me along on this Budapest adventure! It was awesome! See you next time!❤

[@dianapickering6891]

What a beautiful city!! The lights on the buildings are gorgeous. I'm glad you're doing well Snow. By seeing Europe thru your travels make me want to go back to Germany where I had lived as a child. I got to see so much and would love to travel again.

[@pattykittencat]

Wow absolutely in my top 5 favorite videos!!! That food looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.

[@nancisailormoy9135]

As many stories and books and videos as I've watched on the Holocaust those shoes still brought tears to my eyes and can't even imagine the terror that took place at that moment. How humans could stand and do this to another human is unfathomable. Budapest looks like a wonderful city and so glad you were able to see the city lights at night.

[@carolrequena3067]

❤ snow you are my hero! You're not letting you heart issue slow you down🎉. You go girl!

[@annettepora8091]

Snow, even though you were probably getting tired you really look good in the video of you eating in the market. You looked very well. Sometimes I worry about you with your health problem. Keep doing what you are doing. Hugs to you both.

[@vt7814]

I was born and raised in Budapest but now have been living in New York City for 25 years. I am a big fan of your channel and vanlife in general. I am very very sorry you guys had a bad experience at the first camping site. I really hope the Hungarian journey will end well. I wish I was there and guided you through Budapest. The city is beautiful , and there are lots of nice places to see. I am glad you went to the GELLERT Spa , I was there last time when I was a child but still remember. It was good to see. BUDA side is the more sophisticated area and PEST is more like a middle class and working class area. If you stay in 5th. 6th. District you are in the heart of the city. But try to avoid the 7th. 8th. 9th. 10th nothing really interesting to see there. What you ate Snow at the market that was called PORKOLT and Nokedli , NOT a GULYAS. Gulyas is a soup and very tasty and fulfilling. If you guys have time and want some sweets definitely try the KURTOS KALACS !!!!! kinda sweet bread with crunchy caramel outside. Or very famous pastry the RETES in different filling. Sweet cheese, poppy seed, apricot . VACI UTCA ( Vaci street)( 5th District ) if you have time is a street where lots of shopping and good street food and night life you will find.Closed from traffic ! I hope you enjoy your stay in Budapest. Greetings from NY. 🥰 Viktoria

[@myrnaedmisten599]

I’m so impressed with the city, how you navigated everything. And even got a nice spa experience in the middle of an exhausting walk!! ❤❤

[@ellenolmstead5026]

All right Snow, keep it going I'm glad your doing so much better. That's was a very sad monument to the Jewish history very sick what happened it really is something the world should not forget. Budapest looks beautiful day and night. Happy trails.

[@McDeb1991]

How absolutely gorgeous. I’ve followed you off and on since you started in S America and this has been my favorite; you seem so much happier and healthy and certainly more my speed!

[@wyomingwips7540]

Thank You Snow & Curt!! Absolutely Amazing!! Safe Travels, Blessings Always 💕

[@jacquipettitt3389]

Absolutely fabulous video Snow and Curt with this wonderful tour of the beautiful Budapest. Well done Snow for smashing your step record...yoy deserved your taxi ride ❤❤

[@pennyfelger9134]

All I can say is THANK YOU!❤️. Your videos leave me “speechless “!!! Soo much History and Beauty you have shown ❤❤❤❤

[@gussiegus4943]

I was first in Budapest in 1990, roughly a year after Hungary ceased to be a Communist country. It was a beautiful old city in extreme disrepair, dirty, broken and downtrodden. The older people, who had lived long under oppression, would always keep their gaze down, avoiding any contact with others. The young people were smiling, curious and clearly hopeful about their future. You could still see the bullet holes from the 1956 Revolution in the walls of homes in Buda. I was there again in 1991, when Hungary celebrated the last of the Soviet Russian soldiers leaving the country. The celebration was amazing! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video. The streets of Budapest and the beautiful old buildings have seen such an incredible restoration to their original state.

[@andya1976m]

Budapest was in communism time better then most other citys in the east european socialism. They have lights in the strrets even in '85 and' 86 when I stay therefor 2-3 months, i sas a child, but amazed how much liberty and shine the hungarian have, because in Romania it was absolutely horrible.

[@sharonmansfield3053]

Wow, I had no idea Budapest was so gorgeous. Great video footage, thank you! 👏👏👏

[@kathysowers]

Always love the night views and the beautiful lights.

[@jch1965]

How beautiful! The nighttime drone footage was incredible. My 6 yo granddaughter commented on it as well. She also loved your choice in music and is still humming that catchy tune. 😊❤

[@szivarvanyhavasan]

The Basilica and the Parliament are really the same height, both are 96 m (315 feet), you have very good eyes for noticing! Both buildings refer to the thousand-year anniversary of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian basin, which was celebrated in 1896, and both buildings were built at that time.

[@marywalker2896]

Amazing views and snow u were out of Breath take it easy.sit rest when u need to and curt make sure she does rest!!love u two and your awesome trips. Stay safe and god bless..

[@Valerygallery]

The market looks wonderful. You two are having a great experience in budapest. The Hotsprings look wonderful! The night light view is absolutely beautiful! ❤ Always be kind ❤ 🥰

[@suerop]

I'm so stoked about your record amount of steps! Proud! Of! You! And I'm so very jelly about your visit to the mineral springs. 💖💞💓

[@cintiapollock2486]

I never knew it was 2 cities that became one that's so interesting! And whoa its so beautiful too! Also loved the bath house pics and info that was cool thanks guys! Snuggle the kitties for us!

[@flywings111]

The differences between the two sides of the city - Buda and Pest - are still there today. Actually the two are very different.

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

Awesome!

[@mattgordon9179]

When I was in Budapest last, the supermarkets were empty and the best food was from the gorgeous families that put me up and feed me.

[@izabellakiralyne5933]

Ez azért érdekes, mert Magyar vagyok, 66 éves. Nem emlékszem, hogy a rendszerváltás óta üresek lettek volna a boltok. Tegyem hozzá, hogy még az átkos szocialista rendszerben sem voltak üresek, csak aválaszték volt nagyon szűkös. Nem tudom, hogy mikor voltál Magyarországon? Soha nem volt a Szovjetúniói sorbanállós jegyrendszer, kivéve a II. világháborű után, ahogy a többi európai országban is. Szóval a kérdés: Mikor voltál utoljára Budapesten?????

[@ruthgibson6475]

The shoes are a very moving memorial. We came upon it by chance when we were walking by the river, Budapest is one of the most beautiful city’s in Europe.

[@jenh9252]

I am surprised your guide or guide book had not led you to it!!

[@leonorabarany5061]

What a great video of Budapest! So happy you enjoyed your stay...much love from Hungary ❤

[@andya1976m]

Budapest and Prague they are the most beautiful city's in Europe!

[@TheMcloader]

13:25 with the jacket...what a legend xd

[@violetatcontentboutique7188]

What a lovely day in the city! Keeping a prayer on you two for safety, things are so uncertain in that region of the world 😺💜

[@janbasterfield8200]

The views from the bar are just magnificent 😍 💜

[@verestamas3920]

13:09 The sauce is sour cream. It's for hot cabbage. They rarely eat full sausage with it. Sausage (many varieties) is best served with peasant bread and homemade mustard. (plus some pickles or something other sour) What you called goulash was actually stew (Pörkölt) with (nokedli) Noodles. Goulash is soup. I hope you will come to Hungary again. I like your videos.

[@Momabear1]

One of my favorite city❤

[@dianejohnson1991]

Wow, gorgeous city. I’m impressed how clean it looks. I love joining your journey. Thank you

[@tonyruiz8552]

Good job Snow on your walking! And thank you to both of you for sharing all these wonderful places! Definitely want to go to Budapest for at least a week now!

[@kathryntucker3701]

Today’s trip was incredible and I’m so glad you got cabs to make things quick and easy! What a day, beautiful architecture, churches, spa and night lights over the city and river, wow! I felt your excitement AND your exhaustion at the end of each day. Can’t wait to drive with you out in the country next video. ❤️🐈🐈‍⬛

[@Kris-tu7rl]

I typically don't love big cities but Budapest looks absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for showing so many wonderful places there!

[@takacsi]

Hi! I really enjoy your video about my home city! Just a little correction: at 11:39 that meat is "pörkölt" and the garnish is "galuska" (made from flour and egg) The "gulyás" (gulash) is specifically a thick soup, with a lot of vegetables. Thank you for the nice videos series about Hungary!

[@SnowAndCurt]

Thanks for the tips!

[@gram_o_phone]

I'm so glad that the first bad impression didn't kill the vibe for you guys at the campsite! It's not my job to defend them, but I have to mention that Hungarians are not easy to decode (even for ourselves). The person at the desk may have had a bad day, but as it goes here, maybe the next minute he invites you for a glass of wine. Or offers you a free puppy-you never know. That's just how we roll. We had a business near the Haller camp and made some friendships there with motorbike riders who stayed at that particular campsite. They had a blast. It's sad they didn't give you the right information, because the outer end of tram line 2 (seen in this video) is about a 10-minute walk from the campsite, and it follows the Danube, covering the most beautiful places. No need for the pretty (ugly) metro. My kids were baptized at the Basilica. I almost forgot how amazing it is inside. Okay, enough-I have to go make a goulash right now.

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey. Wishing you safe travels. 💝
