Szeged is the third largest city in Hungary and is located in the very south of the country. While so many visitors to Hungary just focus on Budapest, there’s more to see in this country beyond the capital city. As I traveled through Europe on a long backpacking trip, I found myself needing to go …
If you’re looking for an easy day trip from Budapest to a gorgeous baroque palace, then consider a visit to Gödöllő Palace. This palace sits just outside Budapest’s city limits and was once home to Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elisabeth of the Hapsburg Empire. The palace is small, compared to other palaces in Europe, …
Budapest is lovely, but sometimes you need to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. That’s where a Szentendre day trip comes in. This cutesy, artsy town sits about an hour outside of Budapest and is a popular day trip for visitors. The area is light on sights, but it can be pleasant …
