I’ve only seen Budapest, but find it to be a fascinating city packed with history.

When: in July 1995 as part of inter-railing and in July 2005 part of my Hong Kong to London overland journey

Where: Budapest

Who: in 1995 with a uni friend and in 2005 with A.

How: in and out on the train both times.

Weather: Warm and pleasant

Food: 

Sights:  The spy museum was interesting but a little harrowing (housed in former secret police building), the baths are amazing!!

Surprises:  A cycling tour of the main city sights was a great way to see the city.

Tips: take a cycling tour – fun and guided
