Budapest: City of Spires

Where Gothic towers rise against the backdrop of the Danube.

2024


Buda Castle, the Parliament, Chain Bridge, and More.

Budapest instantly became one of my favorite places when I visited in June, 2024. Not only is the architecture stunning, but the whole city is rich in history and culture, great food, and friendly people.


Hungary has a pretty fascinating history and I eagerly look forward to getting to know this country better in the future. In the meantime, it's been a serious consideration to move to Budapest for a while.
