We explored the city of Budapest in just 24 hours. We started our daying taking in the views from Fisherman's Bastion and crossed the famous Chain Bridge. We found quirky sites like the Michael Jackson memorial tree and tried traditional Hungarian dishes like goulash. We discovered the unique ruin bars in the Jewish Quarter and tried the potent Hungarian fruit brandy pálinka. We marveled at the magnificent St. Stephen's Basilica before meeting up with friends for a fun craft beer tasting. Budapest was full of surprises and delights that left us shocked by this pearl of the Danube.

The “black tower” is called the hussar tower. It is called the hussar tower cos the little tower sits on the roof of the church like a hussar on his horse. Because it sits on the middle of the roof it had to be built from a light material (usually wood). This particular hussar tower has a red copper cladding to whitstand the weather that’s why it appears to be black. Besides its decorative function it serves as an access point to the middle of the roof in case the roof needs repairing. It also houses the smallest bell in the church which was sounded only when someone (important) passed away :)
Haven't been yet, but friend said like a capital of an Empire.
Because it was the capital of an empire!
We spent 4 days in Budapest in December and loved it. Visited some of the same places. Some of our favorites were the Jewish Quarter, Parliament, and the Central Market ...and of course Christmas Markets.
Fun fact, Mr Biro of Bic biro fame is also from Budapest!
What a beautiful city! Watching you guys could prove expensive! 😂
There are still a lot of buildings where you can see gun shot holes from WWII and the 1956 Revolution.
The small black (or dark brown) tower is called the Hussar Tower. It’s a copper-covered wooden structure added by the architect Schulek and meant to sit on the spine of the roof like a Hussar on his horse.
It was great seeing you guys! 🍻
It's funny seeing what you guys were up to just hours before our meet up. You were walkin' all around our hood. 😂
We only just left Budapest for good, and we're going to miss it for sure. 😢
Another great vid guys. Love the Blur patch Jeremy!
Beautiful city which again I had to go there for five days with work after being in Germany and Austria, and was so easy to drive there. . Great vlog both, you present in such a fantastic relaxed manner.
Thank you for bringing back Happy memories of Budapest and walking so much. Wonderful history, brilliant views and fantastic food. Plus the gorgeous indoor Market.
Nice meeting up with Brandon and Anja! We watch them, too!
I went to Budapest not long after the Berlin wall came down, so over 30 years ago. I recognised lots of the places you went to but it looks much wealthier now - it was all a bit run down looking when I was there but was still beautiful
Thank you so much for saying Budapest correctly! :)
No correctly!
I loved Budapest ..and the surrounding places are lovely too
I think it's one of the only European capitals and countries I've never been to. It looks amazing.
Then it's time for a fantastic trip.
Hello Cara and Jeremy. Back when I toured Europe, Hungary was behind the "Iron Curtain". I certainly missed out. So beautiful. I did get to Vienna, the other historical imperial capital, but I really should plan a trip to the bits of Europe I missed.
I recently saw a Brett Cooper report from Budapest, but I preferred this one.
I learned French and German in my English school, but you could not really get a language course in Yorkshire dialect to converse with my nan, but I spoke it at home, so no problem.
This is up on our city break list! We want to bathe in the spa waters. The food looks really wholesome. Another great video 🍻
I would love to go back for the spas. They seem really neat! Thanks for watching. 😀
Not only You where paying the tourist prices but possibly got some "tourist quality" pálinka as well. Pálinka is at least 50% alcohol so yeah it has a kick, but it is made out of fruit so You should be able to smell and taste the fruit.
I always think of paprika when I think of Hungarian food.
Love Budapest. Their dentists are brilliant and Sooo cheap!
I'm going to Budapest on May 20th for 4 days always been on my bucket list not sure where to start as going solo.
so safe .. wonder why
Loved your correct pronunciation.
Great tour❤
12:12 I was at that basilica in 2008 and saw a woman on the grass verge there walking a ferret on a lead (which seemed odd). Only years later did I see 'The Big Lebowski' and realised she was probably a fan of that film, in which some Germans do it.
Ferrets are pretty cool just in general (as long as you don't tangle some raw meat in front of them), and you can train them. I wouldn't say they are very popular pets, but it's not uncommon.
Shame you mainly visited various pubs and restaurants, i would advise that if and when you go back, visit the famous bathes - such as Szechenyi or Gellert, and the famous coffee shops (Budapest is very famous for coffee shops).
It's like looking at London from 200 years ago, before the onslaught of gray and glass buildings took over and ruined everything.
My gf's mum sends us their homemade Palinka and with what i her sanded in sure if the world ended i could power a car with the stuff 😂😂
Did anyone notice the weird Blimp/UFO object that you see at the 51 sec mark? I saw it a bit earlier too briefly at the 22sec mark.
Balloon observatory in far away for turist.
When Michael Jackson filmed here (Budapest, Hero Square) the videoclip for History song he stayed at that hotel (and then he stayed there another two times).
Why were you shocked?? What did you expect? Detroit?
@TheMagicGeekdom my Hungarian Girlfriend would be very proud of your pronunciation of Budapest with the"scht" at the end🫡👌💙
Strange pronunciation of apricot though.
Wait a minute....are these guys brothers
Did you check out the statue of Peter Falk? 😂
Love your vids, chaps. But why are you always 'SHOCKED'? Is it a click bait thing? The only shocking thing I saw was the prices in that bar.
I basically came here to say this. So many youtubers claiming to be shocked in the video title but then.... a regular video with zero shock. I enjoyed the video too and love Jeremy's Blur patch btw
When I saw shocked. In the title, i thought it was a bad visit, that word must be used for the negative. It’s grammatically confusing.😮
1:10 There is no deeper meaning behind the "black" tower, most gothic cathedrals have them. It is clad in copper because these tiny towers are made of wood, not stone, as the roof structure could not support a heavy stone tower. The wood obviously has to be protected from the elements, hence the copper cladding. As the church has just been renovated and the copper is still relatively fresh, it has already turned from its initial copper-metal sheen to this brown stage. Within a few months or years, it will slowly take on the final turquoise green of old copper, like the green of the Statue of Liberty. This stage then lasts "forever" or at least many decades, until the copper is so thinned by weathering that it has to be renewed again, and American tourists will certainly speculate about the meaning of the "black" tower once again …
From a lesser person that would be a patronising and pretentitious comment, as is it from you....
The whole of Europe is steeped in history. The more one understands the historic background, the more one understands the European soul and the way of life.
What do you think of the political situation in Hungary?
i think you are starting to see europe is better
