After we'd been in Vienna for 3 days, Ian and I took the train to Budapest to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. It took 3 hours to get there on the train but it was lovely and relaxed, we booked into the premium section and we were the only people in there! I really liked Budapest, we stayed on the Buda side of the Danube in Lanchid 19. Lanchid is the Hungary name for the Chain Bridge which crosses the Danube and which we could see from our hotel room. The hotel was much more relaxed than the one we stayed at in Vienna and I liked it more.
We were just a few minutes walk from the funicular which took us up to the top of Castle Hill. Ian and I spend a lot of time just wandering around the area as it was really pretty. We had manged to time our visit so that we got there before most of the tour buses arrived and managed to get a lot of good photos without lots of people in them.
We went to a lovely restaurant in the Castle district that Ian had booked for us on our anniversary called Alabardos which served traditional Hungary food with a modern twist. The food was fab and we drank lots of Hungarian wine, a different wine with each course as recommended by the sommelier.
