Budapest, Hungary

 

October 2024.

As it was Hungary's Presidency term, our first autumn meeting took us to Budapest.

As I have been to Budapest before, there was not much touristing around, more touristy info here and here






Had a lovely reception on a boat cruise on river Danube.


Went to a Michelin mentioned restaurant Hoppa! Bistro. The vibe was great, food was good but not mindblowing. 


As we stayed for a weekend after the work event, moved out of the hotel, and into a very cool and quirky  hostel: Lavender Circus.







Went to the Great Market Hall to hunt some truffles. 


Obviously, ate Langos (still my guilty pleasure)


Hung out at ruin bars



Had a really nice brunch at Fekete cafeteria



Crossed the river and had a stroll at the Buda area!





Went to the Széchenyi Thermal Baths. Not exactly the same as spa-s in Estonia, but very enjoyable, especially the outside area. 



Also, found this small underground bar with live music, Lampas. As Budapest has gotten a lot more pricy than I remembered, this place has the prices I remembered. They are very strict about their closing time tho, when it's closing time, they literally kick you out on the minute.

Italy June 2025: Treviso, Venice, Milan, Lecco

   We bought tickets to see Linkin Park in Milan a while ago. When June was approaching, flight schedules had changed and traveling to Milan had suddenly become quite expensive (there have been times I have flown back and forth with around 30 eur). As weather in Estonia wasn't that great anyhow, decided to take a bit longer vacation. Fly into Treviso and went to Venice. I had been to "mainland" Venice several times before, but never to Venice Beach.
