Your guys editing has really kicked-up a few levels. It is appreciated
Glad you think so! Thank you!!
Cheers!!🍻
We absolutely loved our visit to Budapest. My favorate was taking a night time boat ride and taking wonderful photos from the boat.
I always enjoy your reviews and suggestions as they are very practical. I also love Brian's humor.
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching 😊
You made me want to visit this beautiful city again. Thank U both.
Thank you so much for watching 😊
Great video guys and what a beautiful city! Thank you for the tips. The architecture is really something else. Have a great day and Cheers!
Thanks guys!!! 😊
I always love your videos and we were in Budapest last Christmas and it is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Looks like you have a new camera, the 4K HD seems even sharper than before.
Thank you Brian and Carrie for your video... we went to Budapest in September and it was the time of our lives.!
Budapest is an amazing city that we hope to return to one day. Thank you for watching our channel and commenting!! 😊❤️
I’m really digging the misters they have all over the city. It’s one cool city for sure.
Well done Brian & Carrie. Fantastic video very informative as always. Definitely two thirty in those temperatures. Looking forward to the next one. 👍
Thank you, Mike!!
We were there in January.... it was a sobering moment but beautiful to see the shoes memorial on the Danube
Yes, very sobering! We chose to leave that out of the video as we don't typically care to memorial sites like that. Thanks so much for watching 😊
How cold it was in January?
Your video is spot on!
some extra info from a local: For the fisherman bastion you only need tonpay in summer and even than after 7o clock is free. In the Margaret Island there is a little zoo and a japanies garden.
Hi there, I will be in Budapest in October but I booked an Airbnb in Buda side since the Pest side was very expensive. May I please ask you to tell me what is the best way to get to pest side I have been told the Airbnb is very close to Kossuth square. Thank you so much for your time
@@pennyh2993 yes, it is depends on your location in Buda, as it is big. But if the Kossuth square is colse I think the metro line 2 will be close it is a good option. Or the tram 4/6 it is also a good option. I suggest prefer metro and trams over buses. But Budapest has a good transportation system. Just buy an unlimeted pass and you havent have a problem with mobility.
@@Iusuallydontcommentbut...Thank you so very much for your speedy reply. Where can I buy the unlimited pass? At the airport or I can buy it online. TIA
for anyone who wonders why the "Blue Danube" isn't blue but brown. The danube has a lot of tributaries (other rivers that feed the danube) and after rain a lot of mud gets washed into the danbue. That effect can last for even days after a rainfall. I assume it has been raining somewhere up the river before.
Ton of things to do for not a ton of money. Budapest looks really interesting. Very nice, thanks!
Thank you, Doug!! 😊
love your videos. I always seem to get the need for a beverage after I watch one :) I love Budapest, I did an Ama cruise from there twice and loved it. I have missed the ruin bars both times, so thanks for this specific one to shoot for next time
Thank you, Kristin! ❤️
Brian, I noticed Carrie shook her head when you said how romantic you are. So I would recommend stepping up your game…flowers, chocolate, cooking delicious meals to enjoy with pink champagne and don’t forget the flowers. Oh…lots of compliments on her shoes is the clincher. 🤣👩❤️👨👫
She always shakes her head at my sarcasm! 🤣
😂
Great editing!! Very informative as usual and great music!!!💗💗
Thank you! ❤️
You guys look a little more peaceful and happy, even than normal. I have a feeling you guys just got engaged. Guess we’ll find out in upcoming videos.❤
No new news, just relaxed and happy 😁. Thanks for watching!
As always, another great video that you guys put out. I plan to go to that city sometime. Thanks for all the great tips.
Thank you for watching!! 😊
First time for us to Budapest and we are here right now. This city is such a surprise and its architecture is amazing. I can imagine what the walk from Fisherman's Bastion/Buda Castle to the History Museum will be like once all of that construction is done. It was still stunning even with all those buildings being renovated. I must also say Budapest is a surprise "foodie" destination (all types) similar to Eding. I'm noth. Not sure why I only put two full days in Bu,dapest but we leave tomorrow and I missed about half of the things you two highlighted on this video. Oh well, inspiration for next time - ha.
The great thing about Budapest is it is easy to get to. You can always go back!! 😁 Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Love your stuff...you should be well over 100k
Thank you!! We are grateful for what we have and will continue work to get what we can! 😊
Thanks for this video (informative like always, I am travelling there in the next week after a month split between Georgia and Albania (with a short stay in north Macedonia) so this will come in handy indeed.
Speaking of North Macedonia...
You definitely should check out ohrid! (cooler, less humid summer time temps, a great old town to wander around, lake front promenade to stroll, and reasonably priced with my airB&B owner saying if I came back my 1 bedroom with kitchen and balcony (newly renovated) can be had for 300 euro for a month.
I have been travelling off and on for 3 years and ohrid is in my top 5.
P. S. Georgia is STUNNING!
Thank you for the tips, James! We are always looking for affordable places to travel to.
Cheers!!🍻
Love your videos. Lots of great info.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for all the information
Thank you for watching!! 😊
Fabulous video ..very much enjoyed it❤
Thank you!! ❤️
Having been to Budapest, I am disappointed that you did not find a way to go to a thermal bath. As you said there are cheaper options. So maybe skip the beers (Brian)? 😮 and spend your Forints on the more valuable experience?
Also, of note, peeps need to validate their tram tickets. I say this from the personal experience of having forgotten to and getting fined by the ever present tram police. 👮♀️
An interesting trip is the old subway line with its ancient cars. We really enjoyed that.
Thermal baths aren't for everyone. Sorry that we disappointed you for choosing not go. Thank you for watching.
Cheers! 🍻
Was there for a week in may! Husband & i did alot of walking. Walking everywhere! We stayed at pest near st stephen basilica. Pain but worth it & save alot of $$. Best part of the trip was our our 3am walk to heroes square. We took lots of photos and theres literally no one compared to during the day. If any of you wants to take beautiful photos, do it at night. Provided its open to public! Hope to return there again in the future. Theres more places i would love to visit. Anyways, love your video content! Will save for my next visit back to budapest! ❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting! It is a beautiful city and a must visit at night!
Amazing video!!!
Could you pls tell me when did you visited and which month you recommend for visiting?
Thank you! We spent the month of July in Budapest and would recommend that time of year.
Thank you for another interesting video, but I was disappointed that you guys did not breakdown your costs in Budapest, like you have done for so many other places you have stayed in. That would have really helped. I was in Budapest in 2017 and found it quite affordable compared to Western Europe, but the prices you mentioned in this and your last episode on Budapest shocked me. They are far higher than they were for me in 2017. Since you guys traveled through Western Europe last summer, I was hoping you would have done a comparison with those countries to show if Budapest was still a bargain. Comparing it to other countries in Eastern Europe (like Poland and Czechia) would have also been a great help for us trying to choose our next destination. In summary, please do a breakdown of your costs for each place you visit. That is one of the things I (and I am sure many others) find unique about your videos. I recall Carrie mentioned in the past that she keeps them accurate and handy by adding your costs daily.
Our Budapest cost of living video will be out this weekend.
Cheers.
Great video
Thank you, Paul!
Thank you 😊 for this great video you have convinced me to go, we are planning a two weeks vacation leaving from Quebec and doing Budapest and Prague how many days in each location would you do? Thank you 🙏
You can do each location for 3 or 4 days. There are also day trips that you can take out of each. Two amazing cities!! Safe travels! 😊
@@BrianandCarrie thank you 😊
I'll be there next week. Maybe I can meet you guys. Do you have suggestions of places that do prepared delivery meals? I'll be there for 2 months and looking for multiple eating options.
We are now back home visiting family 😊. Enjoy your time there, it's beautiful. As far as delivery, we didn't use it but they had multiple different companies to go through. Cheers!!
Really enjoyed this, thanks. We've done a lot of research already on Budapest and you had some new info! Question about the farmers market at Kurz Szimpla (sp?). How extensive was it? Our first morning in Budapest will be a Sunday so wondering if it might be a place to pick up some bread, maybe cheese or fruit? Or maybe some local wine. :) we don't have a full kitchen but do have a fridge and microwave.
It is more of an arts and craft type of market. There are some grocery stores open on Sundays that we noticed.
Hungarian people are some of the friendliest.!
Fantastic video ❤ hopefully you'll bring out your very own t shirts " its beer o clock......🎉
Thank you 😊. We do have shirts, if you want I'll check them out: brian-and-carrie.myspreadshop.com/
@BrianandCarrie many thanks for a very quick reply but to buy your amazing hoodie and post to Northern Ireland is to expensive 🤒 keep up.the amazing videos
Thanks for the video! Brian, is that you on the guitar during the video ? JP Porto
It is not but I wish it was!! 😁 Thank you for watching!!
Great video ❤
We are going to Budapest tomorrow hopefully we can create a good content for our channel as well 😊😊
Nice job. How many days would you give Budapest if you're just wandering the streets, eating, but no museums? 2 or 3?
2 days would be enough adding the 3rd if you want to take in a thermal bath or a museum.
Head up budget travels!! Seniors 65+ Can Use the BKK - Public Transportation FREE!!! Regardless of Nationality! All buses and trams (exclude trains). Just proof of age with Passport, Driver license, etc. I Like Free!!
Thank you for the tips, Clark!
We will be there for a week in November. What area would you recommend we stay in?
Thanks
Either side of the river will work. The shopping district is on the Pest side with a bit more to do. That is also where you catch the river boats.
Now that you have been to Prague & Budapest, which one do you prefer & which city would you say is better to visit first if you have not been to either city?
That is a great question, but we would go with Prague. 😊
@@BrianandCarrie I see, what would be your reasons for going with Prague?
We liked the old town better, and everything was a bit more compact. Budapest has some great sits but Prague we felt was more scenic.
😀
How was the price of accommodations?
Our total cost for the month in Budapest video will be out next week.
@@BrianandCarrie Thanks. We are heading to Japan soon....any suggestions welcome if you've been there. JP Porto
@@JP7onEarth
I didn't think they have been to Japan yet. I went to Japan last summer, and it was quite affordable. The current exchange rate is awesome, so it's a great time to visit Japan.
How much Budapest money do you suggest for 2 days.
We used our credit cards and really found we didn't need cash at all. Enjoy your time there 😊.
Delightful video! I know you have certain things you consider when traveling, like proximity to medical services, the airport, and transportation. I was just curious if you take into account any of the country's political leadership? A well-traveled friend just recently mentioned that she wouldn't go to Hungary right now because of its leadership. Any thoughts about that?
Politics never comes into play. The people are genuine, very nice and welcoming.
@@BrianandCarrieThank you. Good to know!
I had the same worry, as a trans traveler, I have seen it get worse there in the last few years. I still go, but I am very cautious
As a Hungarian citizen it's so sad to read this, but i totally get it. I kind of thought this existed (people taking politics into consideration), just sad we have such a leadership. Glad most of you will give it a try though and hope for those visiting Hungary will not regret it. ❤
@@kaktusz77 Thank you. That's very gracious of you.
You guys have one thing in your mind. Money.
Try to let this mindset go away. Will ease you life completley to a different level.
You are completly sick otherwise.
This is a budget travel channel. 🤣
@@BrianandCarrie Enjoy. Make an extra payment on your mortgage. You saved a lot . 😄😄
We don't have a mortgage. We sold everything to travel. Thank you for following along....
You loss a lot of weight.
I (Brian) lost 15 lb. in the 5 months of our most recent travels simply by eating better and walking more.
@@BrianandCarrie that’s great…keep it up.
Thanks 👍 What incredible architecture, especially with the lights at night. 😮
How many steps per day were you averaging? 🚶♀️ 🚶♂️
I wonder how much more we'd have to budget to buy and bring, two of those folding Segways. You know like in the movie Mall Cop. Beep beep! 📯 Totally fit in checked baggage. 🧳 🤔😉 Then we'd be the Zoom Zoom couple.😊
You wouldn't need to pack a Segway; you can rent one of those or an electric scooter!! 😁
