From 5 to 7 November, I went to Hungary, Budapest with my roomy! We planed this trip so quickly, booking hostel, buying train ticket, deciding what we will do in Budapest!
We live in Ljubljana, so we bought tickets in Slovenske želznice. To Budapest, we can buy 39 euro or 58 euro for 2 ways. The differences is higher one goes Croatia border. We planed to take night train, we bought higher one. It takes 9 hours!!!

This is the Budapest Keleti station! It is so huge place and reminded me Hurry Potter's station!! We exchanged money from Euro to Hungarian forint, but it was mistake, because exchange rate are so high. If you want to exchange money in Budapest, you should go to bank or exchange money office in city. It is quiet cheap!
At that time 1 euro=300~305 forint! but exchange money office in the station is 1 euro=240~270 forint!
First we went to hostel. It is located near main chain bridge! We used hostelbookers.com. Our hostel is 5.72 euro per person and day. We stayed 2 nights, so hostel is so cheap.
After we checked in the hostel, we went to bridge which is near our hostel.
The weather was good! It was warm and sunny, so we could enjoy seeing beautiful landscape! Then we went to Gellert hill!
The name came from Hungarian bishop Gellert who came to Hungary to convert Hungarian people to Christianity. St.Stephan invited him. I did not take picture of the statue top of woman, but she has olive branch. These statues were built in 1947.
This fortress is built in 1850 by Hapsburg to demonstrate their control over Hungarian.
Around the fortress, you can find gift shop along the road.
Of course we enjoyed beautiful landscape from the top!! Budapest is separated two parts, Buda and Pest, then you can enjoy view of both cities!!
As I said, Budapest is very big city. We were searching a good restaurant, but it was so hard for us. Finally we entered some bar, but it was awful. It was expensive and small portion...We were still hungry, then we went to buy Falafel ;)
But the landscapes were so beautiful, so we enjoyed walking around.
After that we went to bar. It was also hard to find bar we like. In Ljubljana, if you go to the Center, you can find everything, bar, cafe, and shop! But in Budapest we could not find immediately proper bar...
Anyway, we found finally good bar.
It is advertisement for sale! It means that 1 meter bear is 1200 forint. (=4 euro)!!
I do not get it other 3 sentences, but I am sure that drink is cheap in Budapest!!!
We were tired because we walked a whole day then we slept at the hostel at 23:00.
To be continued...
