(8,044 posts)Actually I went to CZ republic. They were proud of the food but not so great IMO.
Beer was great, tho.

(3,124 posts)Trdelník (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtr̩dɛlɲiːk]; or rarely trdlo or trozkol) is a kind of spit cake and variant of Kürtőskalács. It is made from dough that is wrapped around a stick, cooked over coals, and topped with sugar and walnut mix.

Chicken Shawarma or lamb (like a gyro)
bean soup is good
and the street sausage is pretty good.

be sure to visit the parliament building
Basrov is not too far and well worth it.
Since it is summer, the resort areas on the Black Sea (near Constanta) are a nice visit too.

Lots to see in Budapest. It's a great city, and easy to get around

(12,248 posts)What a gorgeous, gorgeous city. The architecture is stunning, and it reminded me of Paris.
Places I enjoyed:
-- the underground tour of Buda caves
-- Castle Hill and the cathedral
-- The Synagogue (largest in Europe)
-- The national museum (nice history of the austro-hungarian empire)
-- Spotting the funny and surprising little sculptures scattered around the city.
While public transportation is very good, we found it quickest and less stressful to get around by the Bolt ride sharing app. It's like Uber, and spares you from having to deal with cash or communicate with drivers who may not speak much English. Within minutes of hailing a car on the app, there'd be one pulling up at the curb!
