Budapest, Hungary | Fairytale City
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2018
- Budapest, Hungary has a fairytale quality you can feel as you walk around. It’s known as the ‘Paris of the East’ - and I can see why with its elegant architecture and grand feeling - but it's very much its own city. In this video, I’m showing you around the Hungarian capital’s best spots - all of which are within walking distance.

What's a place you've been that has a fairytale quality? 🏰
Kamakura, Japan. Specifically throughout the hiking course had a very Studio Ghibli fairy tale vibe. The incense coming from the cemeteries mixed in with the earthy moss scent. It was pretty otherworldly.
Eileen Aldis I am fortunate to say that I live nearby the House of Parliament. I can see it from my balcony. ❤️
Very nice quality of showing Budapest and the magic of being here (there). I would recommend to also watch the Gellért hill which has the statute of liberty on the top of it and has a brilliant view to the city and also one of the most famous hotels in the bottom of it which is a beautiful construction.. If you visit Budapest again it is a must to "climb" the hill because it has a very brilliant story and you can get more better insights and view of Budapest!

i was going to say the Carpathians....but then last night a sunset so fantastic we couldn't wrench ourselves away from the unfolding humbling magnificence playing above as the heavens revealed boundless beauty...color so saturated , you could almost hear it ...skittering across our valley and ushering in an eve to slumber and rest our excited senses... wow
You two express the reason to travel so well and l have to thank you for your your elegance...and sharing the magic of such experiences
I am a simple polish dude. I see Budapest. I see Hungary. I give thumbs up!
Thanks Grzegorz!
Poland ❤️
Simple Hungarian dude. I see someone Polish and I like
That feeling when my Polish brother's second name is longer than my full...
@@EileenAldis hi i am interesed
I'm an Indian currently 18 and I've been saving money since 13 to go out for a solo trip. I've always dreamt of going to Paris and london. Now i've changed my mind.I'm planning on a trip covering Vienna,Budapest and Prague. This video just spiced up my excitements to visit Budapest and I'm waiting for the pandemic to get over. Wish me luck !
Definitely a good idea, I am Hungarian but I live in the UK in London. Central and eastern Europe is more like what the entire Europe was about 80-100 years ago. So if you want to see some really nice European architecture and history without the ever growing sky scrapers that you can see in London, go and visit Vienna, Prague and Budapest. My country is beautiful and much cheaper than western Europe. Plus Eastern Europe is much safer, terrorism is non existent.
I must visit Hungary. Greetings from Poland brothers
Come and visit Bratanski:)
Greeting for Poland brothers too
Polak, Wegier, dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki, oba zuchy, oba zwawi, niech im pan bóg blogoslawi!
Come bro, greetings from Hungary
Budapest, the most beautiful city in the world. It is one of those places you have to see. Greetings from Warsaw:)
Olyan szeretettel mutatod be Budapestet, hogy büszkeség kapott el a várossal kapcsolatban, köszönöm!
Provocateur im older than your country
@Provocateur come on....
@Provocateur I think your user name says a lot
Pontosan 🙂❤
Szerintem is 😂
Hungary are beautiful because of people. Centuries of hard fight forged this unique, fantastic nation.
Thank You for wonderful video.
Greetings from Warsaw
Edward Holohan racist? What are you talking about?
Edward Holohan They are NOT racist. They don't want to have social catastrophe in their motherland. They are very friendly, opened people. If you want see how the racism looks like go to France, Germany or Israel.
I'm a simple Hungarian: I see a Polish brother, I press "like".
Vik Som 🥂 The Crown of saint Stephan and Withe Eagle always together!!!
Edward Holoham: It's clear that you can't distinguish between racism and nationalism.
Im hungarian living in foreign. I had goosebumps watching your video. You made it so good. Thank you! Cant wait for my holiday there on July.. ❤️🤍💚
Hey Karolina! Thanks so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️ Whereabouts do you lie now? Have a great trip home!
I was lucky enough to visit Hungary as a teenager. I was in awe the whole time. What a truly beautiful country.
That's great you have such wonderful memories of your time there :)
Being part Hungarian by ancestry, this video makes me even more proud to know my ancestors knew and walked in this place. I have only been to Budapest 3 times but each time I do go there, its always the same. I feel at home and I seem to always stand taller....
I have been to Budapest two moths ago and this city is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back here. Greetings from Poland to you and all Hungarian friends!
Hi bratankiii 😍
I impessed by the amount of information about my Homeland and its capital city you gathered and studied young beutiful lady!!! There was some historical detail i bet most fellow Hungarian doesn't know about also your Hungarian pronunciation was really good as well!!!Thank you for this video and Greetings from the fairytale city!!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m happy to know you enjoyed this video. We made many more in Budapest as well ☺️ Greetings to you! 👋
I have visited Budapest around 8 times now for a few days each time and I love the place. The buildings, the people, the food, the beer, the ease to either walk or get public transport around the city, it just has to be on your list of places to visit!
We hungarians tend to melt by sweet words told about our country. Thank you for this video and thank you for visiting our humble home. May god bless you.
I discovered Budapest 1 year ago. Been there 4 times since.
Man i loved Budapest so much. Would love to go back
What was your favourite part?
As a Hungarian and a citizen of this city, I have to admit that this video is the best one about our city which I've ever seen. Congratulations. The editing is great, but I loved your detailed infos of all of BP (that's what we call it sometimes...) :D I hope you come back one day in summer too, but it is beutiful in every season.
TheBacsmiklos as a Hungarian who grew up abroad I totally agree. Awesome video that also makes be proud to have been born in that country. Let's forget about politics and all other things that tore people apart and let's enjoy the great things in this beautiful city with its huge history!
That's really amazing to hear - thank you! I'd love to come back during the summer too :)
+KingMate9 Thanks so much! Where did you grow up?
Totally agree best video here in my opinion as a local guy, keep up the quality work
Eileen Aldis in Switzerland. If you want to visit a country with amazing landscapes, you should spend some days over here!
My wife and self will be visiting Budapest mid October ‘2019. We will be certain to visit the magnificent places you took us to with your great video. Nicely done and narrated. RMC, SanFrancisco California.
i really am in love with budapest ❤️ i was there already multiple times but it never gets boring there. love from slovakia, my lovely neighbors
Budapest..what a fabulous city. The 7 days I spent last spring there are one of the best I have spent anywhere !
That's wonderful and I'm not surprised to hear it! Glad you had such a great time :)
As a Hungarian i really appreciate these lovely words. I love that i am Hungarian ( and i born and live in Budapest), and that i can still learn new thing about my country history and about my ancestors life.
Did you know that Budapest got the second oldest metro line in the world, which was built in 1894 to 1896 and it was also built for the 1000th anniversary of Hungary.
I would definitely visit Budapest before i would visit Paris...
Paris is not Paris anymore.
C. M.
Migration...one of the biggest reasons why
That is what I have heard. Damn shame, god save Europa
Nordic Soldier
Meanwhile I'm chillin' in Hungary
Nordic Soldier both are very nice but Budapest is more charming
I have been to many absolutely beautiful cities across Europe but I must say that I consider myself very, very lucky that I have to walk across Margaret Bridge every day twice to get to work and to return home. When seeing videos like this, I am always reminded that I must absolutely appreciate how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place, including its faults and not so friendly neighbourhoods, of course. Thank you for the video, you made the city justice and I am happy that you enjoyed your time here. Please, come again =)
Utterly, utterly beautiful, atmospheric, culturally rich Budapest. My favourite city of all I've visited. I felt so at home and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Lots of interesting/unique shops and fantastic restaurants/cafes. One of the absolute and most memorable holidays I've ever done. Love it, love it, love it. If I could I'd live there.
As a Hungarian I was deeply touched by this video. Not even a trained guide could have done a better job. Great shot, amazing pictures; you definitely have an eye for details. I loved the way you were talking so naturally about my city with enthusiasm and pride as if you had been born and bred in Budapest. I'll definitely use this video as a kind of taster for those of my friends in the UK and overseas that are planning to visit my home town. Luckily Budapest is doing pretty well these days, it's getting more popular ever year thanks to videos like this. Well done and Thank You! Hope to see you back soon in Budapest! :)
Well, a trained guide would know Budapest was formed by 3 cities, not just two like she said. Buda, Pest and Obuda.... but yes, and the other wrong infos she said.
Ferenc Mori hello! I’m American and will be in Budapest early September. Can you tell me if it’s still warm or cooler weather? Can’t wait to see your beautiful city!
@@joannedavis1991 In Sept the weather is still warmish.
@@joannedavis1991
yea in September it's still pretty summer like...
especially in recent years
@@joannedavis1991 Sorry for late reply! I didn't get notifications of your comment! Anyway, early September is still quite warm in Budapest, around 20C or above is guaranteed. Hope you had a nice time in Budapest! :)
I visited Hungary 3 times. Fantastic places.
Beautiful city and great people.
As a Hungarian, born and raised in Budapest, it is very nice to see this video!🥰
Thank you! I’m happy to hear that ❤️
You, lady. are. AWESOME! Your video is having me already travelling (with my heart) althrough Magyarorszag-Hungary, which btw, is really MAGICAL! lots of sisterly love 4 its people, may God always bless and protect them- but I m proudly originated Greek, and it's said, "there's no place like home", you know that, no? if you don't, please try to visit my country, home of lots of myths, literature, music and, what's more, the Olympic Games)
I hadn’t had Budapest on my list of places to go in years, but this video reminded me it was on my list years ago and is now back on my list.
Thomas Vander Wal
If you ever go to Budapest be careful with prices because at some places they sell at 3x price and also not that great quality...
Apart from this I strongly recommend visiting the neighboring towns...best to have a good walk in the forest 😉
:) Should be high on your list and then decide where you would like to continue to live. I made the move 20 years ago - best decision.
Ella Stern
Soooooo...where do you live now?
That's top of my list to visit again in Europe might not want to return to Canada is my main concern. Being of descent and charming they might let me stay which can not be said of everyone.
I'm going to Budapest in a few months and I was looking for a video like this. Beautiful voice, easy to follow and not boring. I will certainly appreciate Budapest even more! You just got yourself a new subscriber! Greetings to you and Mark from France!
Dear Eileen! Congratulations to this very very nicely taken video, very clever selections, artistic highlights and intelligent text! You are talented people!
your speaking about Budapest melted my heart
So-so happy, that foreign people interested in our history
In love with Hungary ❤️🇭🇺
Dia, same, I am so overwhelmed by how much she loved it, it helped me find a new type of appreciation for it. Thank you Eileen!
Смотрю и плачу, как же я люблю этот город!!! Спасибо.
I live in Budapest and this is one of the truest videos describing the city!❤️
Thank you, Sarah - that means a lot 💖
I've just come back from there id highly recommend it 🇭🇺🇨🇮😍
That's wonderful, Caroline! Did you have a favourite part of your trip?
Yes I loved the baths
@@carolinehayden7455
it's always the baths... our super secret sauce
Hi,can I have your mobile number
As a local guy from Budapest, I wanna thank you for this amazing video, you actually made me emotional and feel proud about being able to call this city my home! :) Inctedible video!
I'm from Budapest. This is BY FAR the BEST tourist/guide video I've ever seen of my hometown. WELL DONE!!!
Thanks so much! That means a lot ❤️
Fantastic video, I've been to Budapest twice but I can't wait to go back and I hadn't realised how much of the city I'd missed out on my last visit. Thanks for sharing, regards from Liverpool UK.
It is so very beautiful! My Mother and Father were born there! They have recently passed😢 However, I thank you for bringing this beautiful country to me. I definitely need to visit this fairytale place.
Katalin Marton hi Katalin. Thank you. I know how to speak Hungarian! So thank you for the great tip!! Susan
I went there. It's breathtaking.
:) You may actually consider retiring here. I did. While constantly stressed in the USA - I cashed in my 401K bought a downtown apartment and living at peace and enjoying the beauty, travel and doing only what I want ..... all within my budget that would not be enough to pay for the utilities at my brothers house on Cape Cod.
Don’t be surprised when you come to visit 🇭🇺 Hungary, you will start to feel something unexplained what you take back to USA and you will never forget about it...
I'm so sorry for your loss. I sincerely hope you'll be able to visit and wish you peace. ❤️
Absolutely awesome and very well executed review! Props to both of you.
Great video, im an American with Hungarian heritage & hope someday to Visit Hungary.
In love with this incredibly beautiful city
It’s amazing! ❤️
Eileen, thank you so much for those amazing videos of Budapest. Your videos are just amazingly filmed and directed. You are a great content creator, keep them coming :)
Hey Lara! We truly appreciate your lovely feedback as we work very hard. Thank you so much. ❤️ Happy to say there are many more videos on the way :)
Well done! One of the most beautiful cities in the eorld!!! Miss it dearly!!!
So to a Canadian from a Canadian/Hungarian roots who lived in Budapest for over 15 years and was a professional guide. Couldn't have described it better myself!!! 👍❤️
Love love Budapest! Went there a couple of years ago for an F1 race.
As a hungarian tour guide, I really enjoyed your video of our capital. The way you're showing the different sights, melts my heart. ☺
I love how easily digestible the information is here. Thanks for making this video. I'm so excited for my visit here next week!!!
I've been there 16 years ago and I am going tomorrow again .Can't wait to see the beautiful city .
How exciting! Hope you have a great visit and would love to hear if you find it's changed :)
I recently visited this wonderful city and say Bravo to the wonderful job you did capturing and explaining the highlights!!!
Thanks a lot, Sue! I appreciate that and hope you had a great Budapest trip :)

Eileen, you did an amazing job describing Budapest. I wish I discovered your blog before visiting the city last year. Watching your video makes me want to drop everything I'm doing today and fly back to this amazing city! You're one of my favorite travel blogger now!
Thank you for your beautiful video. As a Hungarian it was really heartwarming to see hogy much you like Budapest.
@Provocateur top kek
What salty swine you are
Buzmeg......
Im Hungarian and from Budapest, and you made me feel so proud... you made a quality and interesting video, thank you
So glad you enjoyed our video :) We made other videos about your beautiful hometown if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist
Definitely agree with you! I visited during summer though. I think it looks different depending on the season. Howevet, I don't agree with it being walkable though. I love walking every where I travel but Budapest kinda killed my feet. But still, I love it!
Haha sorry to hear it made your feet hurt! I’d love to return in summer and experience the city then too.
I've been searching for a vid on Budapest for a while and hands down this is the most engaging and inspirational video. Great job! I'll be visiting in December - sooo pumped.
Just visited this week. Absolutely stunning.
Totally. Sounds like you had a great trip!
Love this city so much
I wanna go there someday
Make sure you have lots of cash for taxi, they use to rip you off !
Budapest is magical!! Thank you for this video
Yes, it is! 😘
I love your videos! This Budapest video is amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Me and my girlfriend will be visiting Budapest next month and have appreciated watching all your videos so thanks!
Ryan Samuels
Look into things a lot...don't get scammed with 3x price things
😅
I suggest getting in toutch with some Hungarians for advice on where to go to eat or what grocery stores sell reasonably priced products (imo. LIDL and Auchan are the best places to buy a lot of food (well...ofc they are hypermarkets and supermarkets 😅))
How was your trip? :)
Awesome video!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!! One can feel the Canadian spirit in it and what a better way to experience a city than through the open-minded perspective of Canadian eyes.
Going to Budapest next week. So excited
Awesome! Have a wonderful trip :)
Budapest is one of my favorite now, I went there last month.
This very beautiful shot above by drone.
I love seeing the city from above with the drone too :) That's awesome you just visited! What were your favourite parts?
Eileen Aldis i love fisherman’s bastion and by the river , parliament.
Me too ❤️
Thank you for making this video of Budapest! I was born and rased there... - the warmth you talk about it, really melted my heart...
Now this made me homesick... ❤❤❤
This is amazing video about Budapest i have ever seen.
Feladták a leckét nekünk. Igen is így kell bemutatni a mi gyönyörű városunkat :)
Thank you, Rita! That's so awesome to hear :)
Great video! ...Presentation with style, culture, soficitation .... Greetings to All from fascinating Budapest !🍷🍾🍭
Thank you! We loved making this Budapest series :)
Went to Budapest last week with my girlfriend .. oh my god .. i cant just put into words how beautiful it was .. Buda castle , Fisherman's Bastion , Mathias Church , The Parliament and for conclusion Budapest by the river Danube ..i loved this city !!!!!
Thank you for your video on Budapest. I lived there for three years until 1982 while I was working for my PhD in Math. It's been a couple of years since then, I can see new things in the city. This beautiful city deserves a few more descriptive videos to show other aspects of it. Your video is great. Thank you again. Love from Vancouver, BC.
I am a proud Hungarian especially seing this video. Budapest is the most beautiful city I have ever seen, and I have seen the World. You have missed out one very important place to visit. The House of Terror may be not the best to show in this matter, but the Shoes of the Danube. Walking by this monument will not only give you sickness, but anger and cries of reminding you about the cruelty of the human race, not forgetting our history. Well done with the video, and thank you. Go back to Budapest, much more to see.
Thank you. We've since seen pictures of the shoe monument but didn't get there this time. It's very powerful indeed. We'd love to go back to Budapest. We visited at Christmastime which was lovely. If you're interested, we made other videos in Budapest as well which are here: ua-cam.com/video/IKwDpit0968/v-deo.html
I had such an amazing time while in Budapest and would love to go again one day!
I’m glad to hear that!
LOVED it! Thank you for popularizing my hometown!
I loved visiting. ❤️ It'd be fun to return and explore more of Hungary next time too.
Out of all the videos I have seen of my country this is by far one of the best! Filled my heart with pride to be from here. Thank you for a beautiful portrayal! Now I will subscribe and watch all your vids!
Boiler for sale!anyone? Lol
Such a great video, and Budapest looks awesome!
Being a Hungarian i still found your video absolutely fascinating! And your commentaries are so sweet and thoughtful. Thank you for preparing such a nice little video
Hi Daniel! Thank you - I appreciate that :)
I left Hungary after the revolution in 56. Escaped to Jugoslavia, I was about 13 years old and I am amaized how beautiful it is still and the changes that are different with fast food and people speaking English. I was born in Kalocsa which is also a great small city, Cardinal Mincenti’s home and gardens. There are so many beautiful places in Hungary, like Eger which was under Turkis influence, the last time I was there they stil had the Minarets and also have a cave swimming pool and inside the mountain they had classical gay Ipsy music that was just amazing. The acoustics inside that mountain was the best. You might explore some more of the small cities and Lake Balaton are. My son was born in Chicago ant hope to visit him in Omaha for the holidays and I can’t wait to show him your videos. Good luck and make more fantastic videos from Hungary.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story! We'd love to return to Hungary and explore more of the country for sure. Chicago is one of my favourite cities in the US - hope you're able to enjoy Christmas together this year :)
Ági! Here is an other to show: ua-cam.com/video/dZYpHr1wDmY/v-deo.html
Greetings from Hungary! Isten áldjon!
As a hungarien thank you for telling me so beautiful about our city!
I always be touched when someone say good about Budapest after visiting here.
Hi Christina! We loved visiting Budapest ❤️ We actually made other videos there if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist :)
Én magyar vagyok. Örülök hogy tetszett az országunk. Itt élni nem mindig mesés de mikor egy ilyen videót látok újra örülök hogy itt élek. Thank you!!!

Gothic and Romanesque architecture is simply the most beautiful.
Very nice video, Budapest is beautiful
Such an awesome video guys, also love how much effort you put into telling about the history and background of the city. Very well done! (A Hungarian)
I'm from Budapest but still learnt new things. Very well informed, well done! :D
Thank you for the great review of my City, I really enjoyed your view of perspective.
Was really hoping you'd post your Budapest videos BEFORE I went. Too late! Loved the city though, absolutely beautiful.
Wow, this is one of the best videos of Budapest I've ever seen! You are on my short list of favorite UA-camrs. Coming in from the airport into the city I knew I had arrived when I saw Hero Square at night.
Congrats! Amazing video! Exact, interesting informations, amazing shots!
Warm people, delicious food and any time is just fit for sunset with the Danube. Still 2 days to enjoy this feeling 💙
Enjoy 💕
Fairytale is right!!! Wow, beautiful place!!! Great video; you show just enough to make me want to hit every place you've been to!!!
Eileen you do such a fantastic job showing off my favorite city. Thanks for the Wanderlust.
