Romantic Budapest

Description:

Budapest, as if reborn after sun-set, shows a completely new face. The monumental buildings of the inner city are illuminated creating a magical atmosphere. All the imperfections exposed during the day time, like the pollution-stained buildings, crumbling façades in dire need of renovation and homeless sleeping on benches are hidden. The Buda hills, Danube and imposing architectural masterpieces bathed in warm orange light are all the eye can see. Guaranteed love at first sight.

Day 1 - Budapest

Take a stroll along the Embankment at dusk, starting at the Elizabeth Bridge heading towards the Chain Bridge. Stop at the Spoon Café and Lounge, a docked boat restaurant with great food and great view. Once full to the brim, head back to Pier 9 from where the Legenda Cruise leaves and take a cruise along the river to enjoy the sunset. After having crossed the Chain Bridge (strictly on foot), carry on up the hill to the Fishermen’s Bastion along Palotai Street. Enjoy the view, maybe have a few sips of the bottle of wine pre-packed, then head for the little cobble stone streets of the Castle District, behind the Matthias Church.
