It has amazing food and places to eat What I love about Budapest is that it has so many sights and highlights, yet not many tourists are aware about this. Like London, Paris and Amsterdam, for example, which attract so many tourists but Budapest is just as nice. Kristy Netherlands I love and enjoy traveling so much. My first visit to Budapest was in May 2014 and I already fell in love with that city. It's truly romantic, especially in the evening. The local people can speak English and are very nice and hospitable to tourists like me. Budapest offers delicious food as well, like lecso, goulash soup, krémes, csirke, jokai soup and sausage, to name a few. The public transportation is so easy to learn and not expensive. I will surely keep coming back to this lovely city. Rachelle Philippines 4
