Today we present the amazing Budapest!! How everybody knows is the capital of Hungary!!
Last March we travelled to this strange and curious city.
We discovered that at first the city was divided in two parts: Buda and Pest. Danube river was the border and in the middle of the river there is an island called Margarita. Today this three pieces of land are BUDAPEST.
The Buda side is the quietest one and it's called like the old castle that crowns it. This castle has been remodeled many times and has a long history behind, since the first palace of the Hungarian kings. This district is also famous for their medieval and baroque houses.
In other way the Pest side is the most populated, the enviroment is more social and you can find more shops. But surprisenly the nights are very quiet.
We also have visited the Margarita Island and we found a beautiful natural setting and the city zoo. You can tour the island with a pedal car for a reasonable price. We guarantee it!! Was a fun experience and we've enjoyed more closely the nature.

In this city there are several sites that are World Heritage, like the Buda Castle and the Heroes Square, some of them also are the symbols that identify Budapest in addition the Parliament (the third world's largest) at the foot of the river and the Chain Bridge, the oldest and most emblematic of the city. But Budapest is very famous for their spas that remained since the Roman Empire.
The lenguage spoken in the city is Hungarian and people don't use much English, much less Spanish. So we found it very difficult to communicate. Budapest is pretty cheap compared to other European capitals: museums, food, transport,...
One of themost fun things we did in Budapest was travelling on a bus with tourists walking on land ans water! On land and water? A bus? Yes a bus!!!
For a few Florines you can travel on land and water with River-Ride, is very very cheap and accessible.
Here we give you the official page for reserve it! ;) http://riverride.es/
Eat in Budapest
Something we found curious Budapest, was a mass in cylindrical form cooked in stalls on the streets. This meal is called KÜRTÖSKALÁCS and is a sweet dough that is eaten as a dessert. It's great when you put cinnamon flavor, as we ate.
Another good thing to eat in Budapest is famous pizza LANGOS. It's like a pizza, but the flavor of the mass is the same as hotcakes. You can put the ingredients you want as ham, cheese, tomato,etc.

One of the most important things that you have to know about this city, is that the national currency of Hungary are the Florines.
Also Euros have more monetary value than Florins, so you win with the exchange.
