[@tylerwilliams9600]

I am watching this video at my hotel in Budapest on August 18, visiting from the USA! Your channel has been so helpful as I have planned this trip. Thank you!

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

[@RobertBannonActor]

Dude, you're videos are incredible. Me and my best mate are flying there next week and these videos have helped out so much. Would love to bring you and your partner out to say thanks. let me know 🙂 Köszönöm szépen

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thanks, happy to hear you found our videos useful 😊 I hope you'll have a great time here! 😊 We have a busy schedule but if you happen to bump into us in the city by chance, feel free to say hi, we always appreciate that 😉

[@bensprigg9834]

A fun history video, making me look forward to my trip even more. So modern day Hungarians are descendants of lego people! How cool is that!

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Hehhe indeed, built by the many different lego parts we encountered over centuries 😂

[@braveboat7816]

Great vid! I have been in Budapest for several weeks, and will be here for the celebration. Thanks for the story behind this big day!

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thanks! Enjoy the day of the celebrations! :)

[@SketchTM]

Why couldn't school teach us history like this? I learned so much! 🇭🇺 ❤️

[@JaniceLadyJStyleKrako]

My family waa Hungarian royalty back to time of St Stephen. Incredibly beautiful country and people

[@peter.szollosi]

Royalty or nobility?

[@Simmlex]

Pressing X to doubt.

[@nuckingfuts4721]

Ain't no way you can trace back family 1000 years. Especially given how Hungary's population was practically wiped out and replaced twice throughout the centuries.

[@arandombard1197]

As an expat, I can confirm that Hungarians absolutely love Saint 'Steve'.

[@mandoaddict7154]

Thank you for such a fun, & enlightening video. Budapest is such a beautiful city. I first fell in love with it while on a Danube cruise. I couldn't stay but 1 day because the cruise was on its way to Prague, but I vowed to return to your city for a longer stay. I enjoy your informative, & entertaining videos. Please keep them coming.

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thank you! I hope you can return here and experience more of the city 😊

[@TheFluffiesChannel]

Atilla, once again you outdid yourself. The video was very informative and we learned a lot. We have been to the August 20th celebrations twice. We loved tasting the cake of the year and the bread of the year. Stay Fluffy!

[@sargonabraham3477]

Very important video, thanks for sharing it. Now I have an idea for next time vesting Budapest to be around this time of the year to have more fun. Love Budapest ❤

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thanks, I hope you can visit again around this time and experience the celebrations 😊

[@michellecsiernyik5200]

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

I hope you'll have a great time on the day of the celebrations 😊

[@MrGranturismofan1]

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

I hope it will be Epic this year too 😊

[@sandrab.5065]

Well done, Stuffed Cabbage. I enjoyed your presentation.👍🌻

[@TravelBound2024]

That was a great explanation for the reason behind August 20. Sorry we made you do all that hard work 😉 with the Legos but it helped to demonstrate your story. 😃 As always, I enjoy your videos Ákos!

[@alii040]

I will arrive on 19/08 i hope we will meet ppl who is watching this video it will be fun and epic experience

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Looking at how many people comment here that they will be attending the celebrations, I'm pretty sure there will be quite a few 😊 maybe someone will wear one of our T-shirts 😂

[@nicholasmanila]

wonderful video! The lego figures was such a great idea!

[@toddslusar]

Csodálatos videó, természetesen! Élvezze a nyaralást!

[@dantetre]

[@Madonnis]

Nagyon érdekes!!!👍👍💕

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Köszönjük 😊

[@anandaramanmoorthy]

Great work! Keep going!!!

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@zsuzsisnarey]

I really enjoyed the video and learned a lot from my History. I am fascinated by your perfect English and Hungarian accent. How long did you live in these countries? I am also bilingual, I left Budapest when I was 15, and finished my education in London. Your videos are great! My husband found it and is a prescriber.

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Truth to be told I never lived outside of Hungary, I just spend an aweful lot of time as a child watching Cartoon Network in English and have been close to English content ever since 😊

[@zsuzsisnarey]

@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Is your wife Hungarian or English?

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

@@zsuzsisnarey She is also Hungarian 😊 born and raised here.

[@YouMeandSicily]

Very interesting!

[@doslidyzkotom]

Budapest is amazing, but may you show more countryside villages?

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Hey there! From time to time we try to visit other towns and villages and have some videos about them. We have a few more planned for this year, so expect more to come 😊

[@michaelrivman4569]

Great

[@SCBROS4000]

Hey I arrive in Budapest airport on the 20th august will public transport still be running

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Hey there! Yes, public transport may run less frequent a bit due to the holiday schedule but they will run all day 😊

[@Beckaroous]

We will be there next year for 2 months and we will be there on aug 20. Is there one website that will list all the "activities" with locations and times? Where can you taste the cake of the year is it at most cafes or just particular ones? Which is the most "local" market in pest to experiance St Steven's day "the local way"?

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Hey there, usually the programs and information are available on this website: www.szentistvannap.hu/en The cakes should be available in almost all Budapest confectionaries and cafes, it's easy to find them luckily and are mostly available a day prior to august 20th. (this year we could get them from August 19th). In all honesty there is no "local market" for a "local way". Markets for the event are touristy, both foreign and domestic tourists, and there is no problem with that. You can try many things and check out handcraft goods. There is always a market in the Castle District and from the Chain Bridge towards the Várket Bazár buildings. The local way is to go into the city center, have some drinks and snacks and see the fireworks, but a lot of Hungarians stay home as it is a public holiday 😊

[@markus38402]

Is it an option to go up to gellert hegy and watch the fireworks there? I mean you can see the whole city. But there is construction work so what do you think? Woul you recommend it or which place would you recommend? :)

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Hey there! Even if the top statue and old fortress part are under reconstruction, there are many lookout spots which you can visit which have excellent views of the city. However I would personally not visit them during the fireworks. Space is limited, it's one of the best viewing spots so it's always very crowded. In general all good spots will be crowded, in my opinion anywhere near the banks of the river is fine, it will be a lot of people everywhere anyways 😊

[@Марта-й7е]

Урок по история, представен по приятен и занимателен начин. Хареса ми и научих интересни факти от историята на страната ви. Защо така не ни преподаваха в училище, по-лесно и с удоволствие щяхме да усвояваме материята. Честит предстоящат празник с най-добри пожелания за просперитет и благоденствие на Унгария!

[@StuffedCabbageAdventures]

Thank you so much! Considering how expensive Lego is and how School systems are sometimes underfunded, I'm not shocked Lego wasnt used in demonstrations on History classes :)
