I spent 5 days in Budapest in an AirBnB apartment. In hindsight this was two more days than I really needed, as I tired of the crowds of tourists. That said, the city has a very scenic location on the Danube and many many fantastic buildings, squares, avenues and bridges - like the Parliament Building, Heroes Square, and Buda Castle to name but a few.

After checking the bucket list items I tried to get off the beaten track a little more. The ruin bars were fun. So too was watching the UEFA and Champions League finals in various bars. I also
visited an excellent David Lynch photography exhibition at the Kunsthalle.

For any of you that stay here, buy a multi day metro pass. It allows you to travel on all the subways, trams and buses. I parked up the GS for my entire time in the city (this was probably a mistake - I should have used it to explore more far flung locations).

Food was very good and cheap. A two course meal was about $4. The local hungarian red was about $3 and was acceptable. I did notice that when I went to the very local bar near my apartment, the price was massively less than the downtown price - 60 cents for a pint vs $2.40.

I managed to pick up a RAM X mount for my Honor Lite 10, which has made it much more usable. I got it from a Honda dealer close to where I was staying.
