Month: May 2008

Last week we had a guided tour with a group of five people in Budapest, and they were very satisfied. We also helped them book some tables at Belcanto, Gundel and Trofea Grill and they were extremely satisfied, though the waiters did not sing at Belcanto during their stay there. Safely home they sent us this beautiful picture of the Chain Bridge, for all of us to enjoy.

As a Budapestguide, one of our duties is to help you find the best during your stay in Budapest. That is why we help our visitors finding the best restaurants in town. At our restaurants page you can read about different restaurants, for example the famous Gundel Restaurant, that serves Hungarian dishes and which probably is the most famous Hungarian restaurant.

We also help our visitors reserve a table at the restaurants. If you come just some people, or if you come with a bigger group we help you reserve a table, and we also help you if you would like to have the same food prepared for the entire group for a set price.

We have much experience helping tourists finding good restaurants, and we do offer this help for no charge (you only pay for what you eat in the restaurant). Sounds great? Send us an email today, and let us help you!

We are happy to announce that our Budapestguide now also exists in french. The address of the guide is https://www.hungarybudapestguide.com/fr/. So for the french people information can now be found about the different hotels of Budapest, the attractions and the activities of Budapest in french.

We celebrate this with a picture of the Eiffel Tower, located in Paris. By the way; yesterday I saw a text where they wrote that the original plan was to build the Eiffel Tower next to the Castle of Budapest, where the Funicular reaches the Castle Hill. This never came to be, and that is why it ended up in Paris.

Probably this is just a nice story with no proof in history, but if you come to Budapest it can be a nice thing to imagine as you look towards the castle area from the Pest side.

If you would like more interesting information about Budapest, join us at a guided tour!

Guide de Budapest – The guide in French.

Eger is a popular city for oneday excursions from Budapest. It can be reached within 2 hours by car, bus and train, and in the city there are plenty of things to see and experience. They have several wellness hotels, they are famous for the Szepasszonyvölgy, where you can find lots of winecellars. There are of course possible to taste as well.

If you read about the Hungarian history, you have also read about the invasion by the Turks in the middle of the 16th century. They came to Eger as well, and you can still see tha castle in the city today, where they protected the city from the Turks. History tells us that the women threw hot Goulash soup at the troops attacking the castle.

Enjoy the pictures, and enjoy your day.

Eger – Balaton

Lake Balaton, maybe the biggest tourist attraction in Hungary outside Budapest. This lake draws several hundred thousand tourists to Budapest every year, and now the season for swimming and enjoying Balaton is approaching again.

The southern side, known for its very low water (you can walk for several hundred meters, and still the water reaches your belly), is very popular among families with small children. The northern side has deeper water, and the people who are used to that, prefers the northern side.

We just added some pictures from Balaton for your enjoyment, though it has not so much to do with our subject, Budapest, it still belongs to Hungary, and it is absolutely a place worth visiting. If you like these pictures, you should check out the pictures from Eger and our pictures from Budapest.
