Budapest is a fusion. It looks historic - the city is proud of its Hungarian roots and there are immaculate buildings on every street.
But if you look above those facades, you’ll see a bullet-ridden past. Some of those historic landmarks are crumbling. The drive from the airport is dotted with demolished buildings and make-shift homes for the homeless. The city is torn between it’s new-found tourist status and what it has gone through to get there. Like many places you’ll see rich young people, and very poor old people who must be confused about what’s going on with their city.
But in the end it’s beautiful. The people are nice, the food is very good and (surprisingly to me) it’s a pedestrian-city where cars don’t try to run you over! And it’s still cheap (300 forint= 1 pound), which is why it’s seen an emergence of tourists since getting EU status.
