We have been to Budapest a few times, including Christmas 2017, but our first visit was in 2016. It’s a beautiful city with the Danube running through its heart dividing the place into two “entities”, Buda and Pest. Clean, historic, cultured, great architecture and lovely people are the first words I would use to describe it. Having suffered under the boot of communism for so long these people know how to respect democracy, freedom, family values and their overall culture. I saw no graffiti, litter or homeless people on the streets ….. anywhere across the city. Centrally, your eyes will always be drawn to the Danube and it’s bridges, Buda Castle on one side and the Parliament building on the other,

We loved Budapest when we visited in 2012.

If you didn’t see any graffiti you couldn’t have walked all over Budapest, it’s everywhere.

Not in 2016 then? I’m very attuned to graffiti some being art, some being political and other stuff being personalised. I’ve explored it in Barcelona, Kathmandu, Chicago ….. but really saw nothing in Budapest.

Hello Jim, if you get to Europe to visit, DO take in Prague as well, in its own way it’s better than Budapest as I reveal in my next post. Take your choice between a rail connection or a much better aeroplane with propellers!
