Budapest: Paris of the East

Budapest is a beautiful city located in central Europe, known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. According to a article written by vingtparis it is often referred to as the "Paris of the East" due to its elegant boulevards, grand buildings, and romantic atmosphere.Though I have never been to Paris, France I do plan to visit the country in the future to see if the similarity between Paris and Budapest are true.

Trip With Friends

Early this year my friend from American along with his girlfriend from France visited my family and I in Croatia for a week, so we collectively decided to drive to close by country while they were here. From the recommendation of my friend's girlfriend we decided t to drive to Budapest, Hungary because she always wanted to visit due to hearing it was similar to Paris. So, we dicided to take 3 day trip to Budapest to experience everything the city have to offer.

When visiting budapest we manage to see various landmarks and historic by using the Budapest Sightseeing Tour Package. One of the most iconic landmarks we manage to see while on the bus is the Hungarian Parliament Building, which is the largest building in Hungary and one of the most beautiful parliamentary buildings in the world. Other notable sights in Budapest include Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and St. Stephen's Basilica.
