Formula 1 weekend approaching!

Posted on July 21, 2015July 26, 2016 by Budapest Guide

The Formula 1 weekend is approaching, and as with everybody else who works with tourism, we notice the increase of requests for transfers and other touristic programs as the weekend approaches.

Are you coming to Budapest for the Formula 1 race? You can read more about the F1 race and Hungaroring in the following article. If you want to watch the Formula 1 race from Hungaroring and maybe also the practices then there are still tickets available, but you better hurry up. There are normally people selling tickets also outside the venue itself, but you will probably feel safer if the tickets are in your hand before arriving to the arena.

If you can not come to Budapest and Hungary for the race itself, then you can still watch it online as there are lots of broadcasters who broadcast the Hungarian Grand Prix on their national TV stations. In Hungary the race can be seen on Duna TV, a classic channel everyone has on their TVs and which you will also find in your hotel room.

If you live in another country you can read more about which TV channels will broadcast the Hungarian Grand Prix in the following article.

If you need any other help concerning your stay in Budapest with airport transfers, rivers cruises on the Danube with dinner, or maybe you want to do a day trip to Vienna or Bratislava while in Budapest, read around in our Budapest Guide and find the information you are looking for!

The Box Donut in Budapest

Posted on July 18, 2015July 14, 2015 by Budablogger

Yesterday I went out to grab a burger at the Burger House near Nyugati in Budapest. As I walked towards Burger House I noticed The Box Donut, a new donut house just next to it, so I grabbed a box of 6 donuts to test it all.

The Box Donut is a place for those who want high quality at a quite high price. All donuts cost 390 HUF, which is quite a lot more than a donut in McDonalds, but the quality is also very different. All donuts made in The Box Donut are handmade, they are prepared with the best sort of chocolate, they are fried in nut oil and no conservatives and so are used.

What many people find interesting about The Box Donut is that the donuts do not have the typical round shape, but they are shaped a square. You will find the normal vanilla and chocolate donut here, but there are also much more exotic and cool looking donuts available. What about a donut with vanilla cream, chocolate and Oreo biscuits on the top? Or maybe a Creme Brulee donut? There is also a triple chocolate donut available and several donuts in different colors and with all sorts of fillings and decorations.

I bought six donuts and of course I did not manage to eat all six of them, but I tasted them all and liked every single one of them. I will probably not buy six donuts to eat them myself later, but if I walk in the area and want to eat something sweet and combine it with something to drink, this will work out just as good for me as a coffee house or a confectionery.

Tasty burgers in Burger House

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Budapest Guide

Would you like to eat a tasty burger in Budapest, but in your mind McDonalds and Burger King is everything else than tasty hamburgers? Why not visit the Burger House located next to Nyugati square, just somewhere between the WestEnd Citycenter and Sir Lancelot.

I visited Burger House not long ago to grab a hamburger with my family. We ordered quite a lot of different burgers, and for some reason making the order and getting it right seemed to be very hard, so the waiter came back several times to fix the order. After quite some waiting we manage to get almost what we ordered, but those who got what they ordered were really satisfied and the taste of the burgers was for sure among the best in Budapest. What was a nice plus was that the chef preparing the burgers noticed that we had a pregnant person in the group, and automatically he prepared the burger so that even the pregnant lady could eat it without fearing meat that has not been well enough prepared.

The prices of the burgers are between 1500-2500 HUF in general, but if you are crazy then you can also go for the giant burgers with 2x450g meat in them and lots of cheese. Of course the prices for these giant burgers are much higher, but if you want to try, then go for it!

All in all we were not completely satisfied with the overall experience because of the mess making the order and so on, but the food that we were served was great, so we would have no problem returning to Burger House in Budapest another time to grab some more burgers.

[stbpro id=”info”]There are several other Burger House restaurants in Budapest. You can also find one in Lurdy Haz, in Duna Plaza and in Óbuda. But the one near Nyugati is for sure the one with the best location.[/stbpro]
