Two Days in Budapest


It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but I'm finally sharing some snaps from my trip to Budapest. We managed to pack a lot into just 2 full days in the city, including an amazing vintage store, some great restaurants and a couple of walking tours around the city.

We found this vintage store on our first day in the city, and it was like stumbling upon buried treasure. I have a real talent for finding vintage shops, so I managed to spot this one a mile off! The store was really cool inside - beautiful pieces displayed really well. We scoured the rails and swore we'd be back on our last day to spend our left over forints. However, our last day was All Saints Day and the store, like most others, was closed. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

This restaurant was just down the arcade from our apartment building, so we stopped by on our second day for some lunch. Over the weekend this area played host to a craft market and a vinyl fayre, and we were later told by a tour guide that it was "one of the coolest places in the city", so we felt very proud to be staying in the middle of it all!

The walking tour took us to many of the city's landmarks and taught us a lot about the history of Hungary. Our guide was really entertaining and clearly passionate about his city. We walked for two and a half hours around Budapest, but luckily I was wearing comfy ankle boots so I was able to enjoy the sights!
