Most popular Budapest restaurants March 2010

Posted on April 27, 2010December 8, 2022 by Budapest Guide

From time to time we make up a list of most popular Budapest restaurants based on the amount of table reservations we make in Budapest restaurants for our guests. This is of course not an official list showing the actual popularity of a restaurant, but it is more for fun to show what restaurants our visitors like to visit.

In March 2010 the most popular restaurant based on our table reservations was Sir Lancelot. That is not unusual at all, rather normal in fact, as Sir Lancelot often ends up with most table reservations. On the second place in March Gundel was to be found, while several restaurants had to share the third place; Pampas, Matyas Pince and Trofea Grill!

Back home with some days delay

Posted on April 21, 2010 by Budapest Guide

For those of you who have read our latest blog additions it is not a secret that I have been stuck in Holland for some days due to the ashes from the volcano at Iceland. Now I have finally returned back home after some 21 hours travelling with OrangeWays from Utrecht to Budapest. It was a nice trip, and from the bus I could see for example the Cologne Cathedral and Schönbrunn in Vienna.

Now it seems as if airtraffic is getting back on track again, which is nice as we have quite some guests coming in with planes in the coming days and many of them combine their airport transfers with guided tours. Welcome to Budapet all of you!

Emergency help for people stuck in Budapest

Posted on April 19, 2010 by Budapest Guide

Are you stuck in Budapest? Would you like to get home as soon as possible? We are used to helping out with airport transfers, but in this occasion we can also help transporting you home to your wished for destination in Europe, for example cities such as Prague, Paris, Munich, Vienna, Amsterdam and so on. We offer small and middle size taxies with space for up to 7 people (8 people if there is little luggage). We try to keep the prices down, so if you would be in need of such a transfer back home from Budapest, then please contact us, and we will send you an exact price offer for your destination.

For bigger groups you can contact us as well, but we first of all try to help smaller groups!

Flight cancellations

Posted on April 19, 2010September 3, 2024 by Budapest Guide

In Norway domestic flights are back up running, but the weather forecasts makes it possible that from this evening on all flights will be cancelled again. In Hungary and in Budapest cancelled is the word to get used to. The homepage of Budapest Airpot (which is almost impossible to reach due to heavy traffic) now tells that all flights until 12.00 today are cancelled, and after that there are several cancellations as well. Flights heading south from Budapest are still not cancelled this afternoon, and some other flights are not cancelled yet, but stay updated and check out www.bud.hu for the most recent updates.

If you need to travel away from Budapest we recommend the use of Orangeways which is fairly cheap and offers excellent service to travellers. Outside their normal international routes they arranged a bus travelling from Budapest to Vienna, Munich, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Strasbourg, Saarbrucken, Metz, Reims and Paris. I am not sure if they will repeat that trip, but check out their homepages for more information.

We wrote Saturday an article called “Stuck in Holland“, and yes, now we are stuck in Holland. Our flight home today is cancelled, but we have already bought bustickets, so tomorrow we will leave back to Budapest by bus!

Stuck in Holland

Posted on April 17, 2010 by Budapest Guide

So, I am writing this article sitting in Utrecht… Still we are not really suffering from the volcano sky, as our plane is supposed to return to Budapest on Monday, but the news does not bring us to comforting news. I just read on BBC and CNN that things seems to get worse, and that ash is still thrown into the air from the volcano at Iceland, so who knows?

For those of you planing to visit Budapest in the near future, keep updated and check out www.bud.hu and we will try to update our webpage as well with information about flights to/from Budapest. Hopefully things will get back to normal within shortly, but I must admit that I am a little bit worried!

Budapest by night from Petöfi Bridge

Posted on April 9, 2010 by Budapest Guide

I just made some pictures here the other day as I walked across the Petöfi Bridge in Budapest with my beautiful wife (much more gorgeous than the view from the bridge). Below you can see some of the results. At the pictures you can see the Gellert Hotel, the Gellert Hill, the Elisabeth Bridge and the Castle in the background.

The best way to see all of these by night is doing a boat trip on the Danube, which you can find more information about here.
