Budapest used to have a very BAD dog poop problem. Like you couldn't take a step from all the dog poop. In the late 2000s the city tightened up on dog owners to pick up their dogs poop and regulations tightened up in parks, playdrounds, etc. Dogs have dedicated doggie parks where they can go to. Maybe there was an overcorrection, but it was really, really bad before.
Never did I anticipate having a conversation about dog poop but this is great insight haha. Thanks for sharing this!
There are tourist traps in Budapest, but Szimpla, and Karaván definitely not. And in Gozsdu udvar you can find exceptional food for example in Spíler, but there are smaller places like 2 Spaghi which is run by italians and they make great pasta.
The tourist traps are usually around Váci utca, and around all of those Thai massage places.
Thanks for the insight here!
@@camdendavid tourist traps have girls in the front, who invites you in with some welcome drinks, they don't accept cards only cash, and they don't display prices anywhere, they have "prepared" drink menus with 10-20x times the usual downtown prices.
The places you mentioned have like 5-10% higher prices than the usual ones, so it's pretty okay.
@beszeljunkorakrol I read somewhere on the internet that in Gozsdu Udvar I can find terraces where they allowing smoking. Is that true? I will come in winter time so it is important to me as a heavy smoker...
@@ljubicaciric9145 You better stay at home.
I love your videos so much! You have the best energy and I just feel happy when I listen to you. Love your positivity and your heart-warming sense of humor. I'm doing some long slow travels myself and will be spending a month in Budapest in May. I can't wait! Thanks for all your helpful tips and wisdom.
You just made my day! Thanks you so much for the kind words and support :) I hope you have a great time in Budapest and please let me know if you ever have any questions
Thanks for this! Great Info !
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Hahaha we definitely had one of the sketchiest entrances to our Airbnb too 😂 it was a great place once inside though and realistically we felt safe the whole time!
Hahah it's so true! Glad to hear the inside didn't match the outside 😂 Keep up the great work on your channel!
PERHAPS the grass is so pristine BECAUSE no one is allowed on it 🤔👀
Perhaps!
Forgot to mention -> To the N of the Parliament building you have the Olympic park. It is free to use and it's great for kids and it has splash pads, Bascketball rims, playground, lots of shaded areas, bathrooms (VC), and it's next to a Coop and a wine store.
Agree 100%. Thanks for pointing that out!
Hi, great video! How do you spell the Middle Eastern and the Michelin star restaurants that you mentioned?
Thanks for watching! The Middle Eastern place is called Dobrumba and the Michelin restaurant is called Essencia :)
Awesome! Thanx so much@@camdendavid !
@@littlecookingtips You got it!
Thank you for the great info. Is July a good month to visit Budapest? weather wise . How cold is Budapest if planning for December trip.
July is hot, sometimes around 30˚C, December on the other hand can be quite cold, around 0˚C.
I appreciate the support :) Agreed with what Robert mentioned -- You'll definitely want a jacket in December and the July will be very warm. I've never been and not enjoyed myself!
@@robertszakats148 thank you for ur reply .
You can tell us soooo much in 2 minutes wooow :) you are a talent :)
Haha much appreciated :)
I’m going to budapast Thank you for amazing information
You got it! Hope you have a great time!
I spent a month in Budapest as well and I agree about the ruin bars. Good to check out, but overpriced and turning into a tourist trap. The central synagogue was also much too expensive. Wish I knew that before I went.
Appreciate you sharing. Hope you enjoyed your time there!
This guy is good and accurate..
Appreciate that
BUD is one of my fav cities. You also hit it on the nail; some place are TT and overpriced and let's not forget about the ATMs. The one attraction I think is a BIG TT is the fonicular ride to the castle @@camdendavid. I alway use a multi day tram / train pass that includes a ride to the airport. Good stuff and ty.
Exchange rates are crazy in some places be careful about that too
100% agree. Thanks for pointing that out
My english teacher forced me to watch this
In school?!?
@@camdendavid yep
I didn't understand why you basdhing the magic, i ate there really delicius burgers. And a drink with sparkles in it.😅 They even have cool magicians.
Glad you had a good experience! It was pretty bad the night I went haha
Things I learnt. Expensive in general. Clean. Taxi drivers sell drugs. And alot of drivers shout out windows "hey you want the good stuff?" Ruin bars are amazing and expensive . Klikk bar wad the best. It's beautiful like un real. Concerning that 14 years old out drinking. Food is superb. Scooters are the best way to travel
I would agree haha. Thanks for sharing these!
i like
thanks haha
Please travel my mother country@Sri Lanka
its amazing experience 🔥🙏
I'll add it to my list!
im going for about a week because everyone told me i only need a week but starting to think i need more time 😅
Depends on what type of trip you're looking for but you'll be able to see tons with just a week and can always go back! Hope you enjoy it as much as I have :)
If the grass was opened there would be no grass their at all. Just like at Erzsébet square. So many people that they kill the grass. There parks/drog runner spaces in the down town. They are for dogs. Budapest had serious problems with dog keepers.
🙃
we have beautiful entrances in buildings, sorry for your bad experience :(
No need to apologize! The buildings have always been beautiful on the inside and Budapest is one of my favorites :)
Is it possible that you didn't mention New York Caffe? Unreal.
I'll check it out next time!
The grass is pristine BECAUSE no one is on the grass
Yeah... but wouldn't it be nice to find a better balance haha?
Yes. OK. Super. Fantastic. Gratulacion. Thanks For You.... OK. Viva Europa: Magyarorszag: Pest Megye: Budapest es Kornyeke: Budapest: Budapest 2024.*******!!!!!!!.......❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The 11th thing is that half of the population earns less than 700 EUR ... where one cafe is 3-5 EUR, one cocktail is 12 EUR and one pizza is 10 EUR..
Thanks for sharing this
Avg is 1000eur, only expensive city is Budapest
median is 700eur. that means half of the population. @@pupkin-qk8ql
Yes! Exactly
That was my astonishment as well
We came from Berlin, Germany and haven’t noticed any difference in prices at all inspite of low salary rate here.
Second thing that Hungary is not capable to provide products and cover citizen needs. There are ONLY German products in the shop. When you visit Spanish/polish/ French shop - you will find mainly local products and local appeal brands - here quite empty shelves even in the city Center and only import. Nada!
Quite shocking
dont eat out 😂
especially in a tourist city, of course its expensive.
Sold. I’m going to the Jewish quarter
You'll love it
Americans and their pronunciation of Budapest, haha....You guys.... Do you pronounce Paris, Madrid and Berlin in the local language as well? ;) Nice video, though :)
Hahah my pronunciations are as bad as they get. Appreciate the support :)
Just got back from Budapest and its so fucking expensive that im never going back there again. If u go there you wont surive more than 2 days….
The city is mediocre…
Not the same experience I had but I appreciate you sharing
Yes, Budapest is expensive. It became very popular in recent years and everyone wants to exploit it. And the locals are starting to feel this...
Maybe go to other part of Hungary, like Bükk Mountain, the Lake Balaton, Pécs etc.
Slow down
Oookkkkaaayyyyy :)
Ah i cant stand ruin bars! I dont want my country be famous about this disgust design. Brrr.
As an outsider, I thought they were such a cool experience. Love most things in Budapest :)
Im hqppy to hear it. U should visit the places out of Budapest as well. Big difference.
@@kamillaerdos7636 Definitely planning on it :)
az utolsó amit mondtál (nem tetszik neked) abban nincs igazad
About the parks?
@@camdendavid yepp
@@utalomAlibbantakat How so?
1 like = 1 vote for the dogs being allowed on the grass
Have ever you heard of a thing called dog park?
Why do you not give the names of the places you recommend in your notes?
You rattle off the names so fast they are impossible to understand.
Sorry about that! Just added those to the description but let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching :)
