- This is the first time for my girlfriend to visit Europe and we decided to visit Budapest Hungary. Traveling Europe can be a lot of fun, but also exhausting. We tour around this central/eastern European city.

Your AirBnB apartment wasn't in a block built in communism. Those buildings are more than or at least close to hundred years old. Usually built even before world war one, pre-communist era. These buildings had big apartments, one to four per floor. If you look closer you would find small servant entrances in the corridors. When communist came, they chased away the "bourgeois", divided these apartments into 16-20 per floor and gave to the blue-collar working class. These buildings are so strong in fact, they suvived multiple wars, bombings even. Of course there are many-many communist building blocks, but not in dowmtown.
Most of the city (or at least the more beautiful buildings) were built during the Austro-Hungarian empire.
I have been all over Europe and Budapest is my favorite city! Enjoy!
Hey guys, I hope you enjoy the video. Help me push it to more people by liking and making comments. 😊
Hello David, we met in train to Krakow. I wrote you email. Maybe it can interest you :-) Thank you for nice conversation and happy travelling in eastern Europe ;-)
great to see you man.
Done! Con gusto
You have found the best places, great video. What the old man was trying to say, I couldn't figure out either. The woman at the toilet is very typical "old generation", she spoke slowly in Hungarian so you can understand - you will not, but that's the idea. She said you could buy tokens - she said "coupons", probably some plastic coins - for the toilet in the restaurant.
I'm from England my wife is from Hungary. We now live in Houston, Texas. Love following your channel. Great to see you have fun in Europe.
How are you finding living in Texas? Cheers!
@@D33Lux Yeah, love it! Love looking out and seeing the blue sky.
Welcome to Hungary, David, Nati! I'm glad you visited my country!
PS.: the lady in the toilet said use the machine to pay or go to the restaurant, pay and you get a "ticket" for the toilet.
So I understood not Nati. Hahaha
I can confimr that. By the way the lady used a word what you could recognise: Coupon ;)
I don't know the place but probably you can use the toilet for free if you buy anything in the restaurant.
Long time subscriber. Great to see both you and Nati in front of the camera. Excellent tour !!
Man, you found one of, if not the best value restaurant in Budapest (Frici Papa). I'm glad that, you got a very good advice.
Frici means Frederick :)
Yes, I take all my colleagues there who come for a work visit.
I always liked David, he reminds me of me when I traveled solo through Europe during those long lost days of 1981. DAVID ROCKS
Great Video David. Been to Budapest many times, magnificent city amazing food.
A long walk on the banks, the Gellért hill, the castle district in good weather - the best use of time in Budapest, I agree. Margit island is also worth a day: endless fields, giant trees, great fast-food (called "lángos"), a few interesting places and 4-wheeled bicycle cars. Another good place is the "Városliget" - another giant park with countless venues like a bath, a large zoo, circus, museums, etc.
That was no Gulash (what is a soup) but Porkolt (beef stew).
Budapest is on my list of places I want to visit.
I love Latin America but it's definitely amazing to visit countries and have no worries about safety. Want to walk at night cool, want to explore the whole country cool, want to take a few risks with people cool you might get scammed but you wont die.
I remember walking back to my hotel in Launceston around 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. at night. Tasmania is not known for being a place with crime. I saw some teenage punks in a parking lot causing ruckus. I had to walk around the other direction to avoid them, feeling pretty confident if I had gotten close to them there would have been trouble. On the other hand, in Malta, I walked around at 10:00 p.m. at night through some dark deserted alleys and nobody bothered me. Malta is incredibly urban, and if you're trying to get to your destination as quickly as possible on foot, you won't want to walk the main roads all the time. If you plan to accomplish anything in life, you have to take some risks, and sometimes the dice will roll in your favor, and sometimes not. I didn't have any trouble in Colombia, but I played that game with extra precautions
Super terrific even though you have been to Budapest before I'm sure there are a lot of cats that follow you haven't been there. It looked very clean and the care given for walking biking and site seeing is well designed. Thanks David and Nati
Welcome to Europe. Nice to have you in a better time zone for me. I am in England. Colombia for me is 6 hours ahead. I hope you have a nice time in Europe. I am still with my Colombian girlfriend. Its not been easy going with her. Thank you for the video.
Colombia for you is six hours behind*
@@grigorirasputin425 yes 6 hours behind the UK.
Great to see you and Nati having a great time!
so nice you got to take your girl to Europe. So romantic Mr David
nice vidoe!!! Love Budapest!
Great video David. You seemed to really enjoy the city.
Dear David, I really liked your video, you are a refreshingly positive person!.Let me help you a bit:at 13.10 you mentioned a church having been turned into a restaurant. Though it looks a bit "church-is" was actually a small palace built about 150 years ago to cover up a pump-house which pumped up water to the castle. It was designed by the same architect, Ybl Miklós who designed the Opera House as well.
This video brought a smile to my face. Enjoy your vacation!
well, it depends where you eat... if you go to less tourist centric portion of the capitol, then you can get it down to $2-$3 for a coffe and $3-5 for a good packed sandwich...
Isn't that just how it goes when you travel internationally. If it can go wrong, it will. Key wasn't gone at noon, no, it had to be 1:30 am, at night. It's like a video game, you just keep at it and navigate the rapids, and like Dave, you get better and better at it
Love Budapest. I lived in Hungary in a small town to the east for about 2 years. Hungarian food is amazing! I'm not sure why the liberty statue is closed off now. You used to be able to get food and beer there and walk along the area ans have a nice view of the city
Refurbished.
Haha David great video. The same thing with the empty lockbox happened to me once in Budapest. I phoned the owner in the early hours and luckily the key was misplaced in a different lockbox that was luckily nearby. Budapest a great city, I go very often and all your observations are correct - low pollution, very walkable, lots of bike lanes and the locals and very fit. Junkfood never took off in these countries like it did in the 'Anglosphere'. Greetings from London!
you're walking on my morning walk up to Citadella 😊
BTW, the fences aren't always there, there's construction. When open there's a langos truck and a place that sells beer. Really sucks the fences are up though.
good choice on Frici Papa (free-tsee)
Great video David. Really enjoyed seeing it and your beautiful girlfriend. Thanks for that. Damn bro, you’ve packed on the pounds. Keep walking and walking.
Haha I plan to. 🚶🏻
:D These are not soviet style apartment, at least 200 years old!
Good seeing you once again and your gal. Looks like a wonderful place. We need an update, what’s going on with you?
London has the same way to cross the street, they call it a 'subway', not like the train, which they call the Tube
Nice video! I enjoyed it and it was very useful
I'm in Zimbabwe, I'm Miles from Budapest
have an awesome vacation
Not gulyás. Pörkölt! Jófej vagy!
David has a new video out❗️❗️👍🏼👍🏼🎉🎉
here we go !
How you pronounced Frici it sounds like "freaky" :D
I did the same thing 20 years ago, traveling to Budapest. It was wild back then, and lmao no smartphone, just an ATM card in my pocket. How the he’ll I’m still alive, idk
Actually you understood correctly, the lady said you need to go the the restaurant and you can purchase the ticket for the toilet. You did the worst thing possible, took out money from those ATM's that are a scam :)
3:20 This system is called Gang. It comes from the German name gang/corridor.
This is approximately the architectural style before the First World War.
Communism may come to mind because such buildings were featured in the films of the era set in Budapest. But at most, the communists got as far as repairing the war damage. Just enough to make the building livable. Therefore, there were bullet marks on the outer walls of the houses in many places. The gunshot marks from 1956 were added to these.
Hungarian communist apartment architecture is characterized by 5-10-floor buildings built from concrete elements. This is called a panel building.
The 10-floor buildings are always high-rise buildings, installed in groups. The name of the group is a lakótelep (housing estate).
Practically every major city has at least one of them. They tried to solve the housing shortage in this way.
The Hungarian version of the German Friedrich is Frigyes. The nicknamed form of this is Frici. It is pronounced roughly: Fritsi. Papa means old man / or grandfather This is an accost .
The food is stew. Goulash is always soup in Hungary
Thank you for the insightful comment 😊
Naty is a Paisa….Smart 😊👌😜
Well done.
Great videos thanks
Glad you like them!
@@LifewithDavid im going there this week so you have answered lots of stuff i wanted to know
Here's to more videos from ye guys
@user-qu4bz7kb5k happy it was useful for you 🤗
4:05 da bomb 💪😆😂😂😂😭
Long time no see!
Great to see you are doing well!
I just miss Mexican videos, aren't you going to show us any?
if I know in advance I will be arriving sometime in the Evening in a new city , I ALWAYS book a hotel by the Airport, Port, Train Station for that 1 Night.
My first not so pleasant experience years ago arriving in Cairo, Egypt at 11pm and ending up at a SUSPICIOUS Hotel downtown at 1am and I vowed NEVER AGAIN, lol.
Lessons learned are very valuable. ☺️
I had the best goulash in Budapest at some street booths back in the 80's
Welcome to Europe
I like these cities where you don't necessarily need a car. I like mine but not having it would save a 💩load of cash
Budapest is probably the safest city in Europe! Of course there are some areas where things can happen, but still very safe! Unlike western Europe!
I miss the videos in Colombia
Damn medellin changed a lot
Budapest is not expensive; maybe you went to the wrong restaurants..
It's not as cheap as it used to be, but the city actually invests it back to upgrade what the can. Public transport is a good example of this.
10:04 I think he was sharing his RUclips account name with you.
haha maybe! felt bad that I couldn't understand him
@@LifewithDavid Don't worry, I'm Hungarian and I have absolutely no idea what he wanted either.
Great to see you in a different country. Someplace where you aren't the expert. Getting some Bald and Bankrupt or Backpacker Ben vibes.
Why not do a side trip to Poland to visit Wes?
What made you decide to visit Budapest?
👍👍🤩🤩👏👏
☺️
I'm going to guess that David is an Aquarius and Natti is a Taurus.
Sorry Pitbull. David is the new “Mr Worldwide”!
What happened to his job?
Lol @ the Russian kids giving arm punches
Budapest is a really expensive city u should try kapuvár its really really cheap!
( •̀ ω •́ )✧
👍Nati se ve fantástica pero 🤪 te ves un poco más grueso 🤠
Hi! The thing with those ugly looking apartmants is that they are the remains of the communist era. Back then buildings were constructed out of 'practicality'. They didn't care much about beauty unfortunately. They built them as quick as possible so that the working class could move in and be close to their working places mainly in factories.
Wow...at 3:11 seeing itin daylight. What an absolute ghetto!
Holy moly I would feel so uncomfortable in that environment.
Az a "getto" amit látsz: az épületek nagyon régen az 1800as evekben épültek,a háboruig (1940) magántulajdonban voltak.Majd az 1990es évekig az állam tulajdonaban volt, a lakásokra semmit nem költöttek. Azota sokan megvették ezeket a lakasokat,de nincs pénzük kivülről rendbehozni...
Magyarországon nincs getto,de Amerikaban...
I want to go to Spain and see all the beautiful palaces paid for with gold stolen from Colombia.
8:54
Schmuck?
😂
$15 dollars a lunch expensive in 2024 Dave? 😂
I guess I’m used to Colombian prices. 🤷🏻
@@LifewithDavid I really hope you tried some of our street food. A nice big Lángos and some orange juice should fill you up fr half a day.
In Europe, they don't like to wear hats while eating. Disrespectful. Goulash is the soup. This is "pörkölt".
That was so funny when Nati was pushing you up the hill. Also, nice to see that Nati has overcome her camera shyness.
Always great content, the architecture is amazing in Europe. Magyaroszag (Hungary) looks clean, safe and beautiful.
The city center is dirty as fuck as in most big cities, the smell of piss is everywhere especially where nightlife is and are lots of hobos, other than that it's quite clean in the other parts and really safe.
Yeah, "looks clean and safe" enough when you only visit the usual tourist spots
The rest is a dilapidated shithole
(I'm a BP native)
@@esteemedyams Utazz egy kicsit, megtanulod, hogy a retkes budapesti részek se retkesek annyira ;)
Beautiful n clean
"To show or not to show my girlfriend".. thats the million dollar question 😅😂
Enjoy your vacation David& Nati
I stayed in that exact building on my trip to Budapest! lol. Love Budapest and can't wait to go back!
13:28 Hungarians are super engaging and outgoing, I love that about their culture.
Hello from London UK! Great to see you and Nati enjoying yourselves on a well deserved holiday
Nice change of content bro
The lady in the toilet actually said go to the restaurant and there you can pay for the toilet by card, then show her the receipt and she let you in to the toilet 😅
Fin to watch my birth town with your eyes. 😄
Excellent video!!! LISS(low intensity steady state)cardio is the best to lose fat. High-level cardio like jogging targets what you have eaten/glucose/carbohydrates for energy. Walking targets fat for energy.
I really love how you are filming with your new camera, y tu mujer es muy hermosa🤭
Hey.. bacan que la parcera ya esta perdiendo la vergüenza de salir en cámara!!
It was about time.. 😄
poco a poco. haha
When I was in Budapest everyone looked like they had decided to commit suicide... But then I left and cheered up I guess.
Cold weather does that to ppl in Europe, late spring & summer is best time to visit.
We succeeded in doing so, so we are happy now. It's nice to reach goals XD
I am so happy that you Guys enjoyed yor trip to my home city!!! Thanks for sharing. By the way Kijárat is pronounced: kiyarat. 😊 Buenos viajes
I thought you were in Mexico shooting the television series. Are you done with the first season? When does it aire?
Just taking a break/vacation. Still working to finish season 1
@@LifewithDavid I thought the producers of the series were really strict with keeping you around there. It's a good thing you get to take a break. However, I'm disappointed you never respond to me on Instagram 😭
¿ De dónde es su novia?
@@Whole.Phantomdear slim, I wrote u but u still aint callin
@@porquee You are Ezrael? You need to adjust your privacy settings if I'm going to send you a message
Really glad to see your Video. Really good outlook on things and it seems ye are having an utter Blast. And yes, Central Europe is much better than before for many many reasons; mainly political and monetary remittances. But yeah, safe and gorgeous Deal of the World.
hello David. I came back from Bogota from Colombia 3 weeks ago. It was wonderful there. I see that you are now in Budapest, Hungary. If you have time, you must see Prague, the Czech Republic. Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe. I lived there until I was 23 years old. .then I went to Florida.
Since June you can cross the street! You don't have to go down there! :)
Lovely video. I enjoyed your sequence of scenes. Every third one, you start talking. The video quality is better because of the proper timing distribution throughout the video.
Nice video as always, did u try Kürtőskalács (Chimney Cake) too ?
David,
I'm *_VERY_* glad to see new content on your channel!
Es un placer ver a tu bella dama contigo frente a la cámara.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Medellin through your lens.
keep eating them mash potatoes and you need to do 40,000 steps amigo :))))
subscribed, this channel is gold man. wish you could come back to Budapest sometime, would love to show you guys around!
also, lunch and food and everything used to be a lot cheaper, you just visited recently, the inflation is sky-roceting these days :D
Much love from Houston brother, wanted to go to Europe for the longest time might have to make a stop to Budapest while there 🤙🏽
Dude I enjoyed your journeys very cool and you are a kickass dude! I'm glad I could tag along on your adventures thanks for sharing these!
Life of david! The man! Another video let's go!!!
El cárcel 😅 kisses for both of you🤴👸🏼🫶🏻
We want to see more interaction with you and Nati on the videos!!!
gettin chunky mah boi
You should visit csepel.
lol
Well, it's a communist era industrial worker's district, but believe it or not it has some pretty cool places as well. just not quite the architectural heaven XD
