I am a proud local Hungarian living in Budapest.
I was born and have lived in this beautiful city, Budapest for decades. I am in love with it - and not because I haven’t seen anything else. I am a seasoned traveller and I have also spent many years living abroad. However, my heart (and wife, and jobs and goulash soup and lángos) have pulled me back to my birth town. I love this city and know it inside out.
If you are fed up with the formal (and often wrong) recommendations of guide books, then follow my channel to find advice from a real local. I give you practical tips, show you cool spots and help you avoid tourist traps.
I live and love Budapest, I want to share my tips with you.

    I lived In BP for 3 years at the end of the 90's and had a fantastic lifestyle there. I worked out in Budaors and had a beautiful apartment just off Vaci Ut behind the Marriot Hotel - just by the Erzsebet Hid. We went out every night for dinner, even Cyrano Etterem was reasonably priced then. We often went to Gundels too when friends visited. Those were the days when you could have a great evening out on Ft2,500. Only thing that bugged us were the hookers along Vaci and the Romanian rouges along the Duna after dark.

We will be sauna and cold plunge but I was wondering if you could recommend a good Thai massage that doesn't break the budget. Don't want to go district V and get tourist tax. When I was last there I had a great stay but got stung alot with tourist taxs at hotels and restaurants. They have an English menu and a locals menu. I was paying Central London prices at restaurants recommended by the front desk at the Mercure on Vaci Utca. If you could please recommend a good massage I would be very appreciative

    Please don't take the taxis from the stands at the airport, they are what we call "hyenas" and they rip you off as well. Take public transit or order a cab by phone if that is possible. I recommend Bolt, when I need to taxi, I only travel with them.
