Budapest - Highlights Aug 2015


So finally after 2 years the waiting game got over and we flew to " BUDAPEST". The city is breathtaking as i have seen in pictures and read and heard about it. There are altogether 700 pictures which i think still cannot do full justice to what we had seen and experienced there. But few things i would like to note and write.. 
• Icecreams : I am not a Icecream person but due to the intense heat and walking i was quite keen on eating one as soon as got a chance. The one which i will always remember is this one in particular due to its sheer size and this was a kids portion😂.


• Hungarian Parliament : Now this building and its surrounding areas was such that we visited three days in a row and saw it in the night and day. The place is awesome both in terms of size and architecture. Kids loved to run around in the vast space too. 

• Water fountains and features : Budapest was full of these which was truly amazing !! There were old fountains where water coming out of Lions mouth or pools where you can dip your feet to cool yourself or timely mist spray which kids and adults loved equally. 

• New York Cafe : When we booked our trip through BA we got Boscolo Residences as our hotel which is a part of Boscolo Group which had this Cafe ! Now this was quite unexpected. The definition of cafe has now a different meaning! The most ornate and beautiful cafe i have ever seen and probably will ever see in my life.


• Ervin Szabo Library : The most gorgeous library one can see ever.. 
This is a must visit in Budapest. Beautiful reading rooms that i could have spent the whole day there.
