We spent two weeks in Hungary based in Budapest. Our foreign exchange student who lived with us for a year took us on a whirlwind tour of Hungary and I can't tell you what fun we had.

The outdoor cafes; the pastries; the FOOD; the shopping; We were treated like Royalty. We could not find o ... Read Full Review | Report This

Budapest was wonderful! Friendly, helpful people! However, late at night the cops disconnect the ticket machine for the subway and then want payment as three of them with billy clubs tell you they will call the polizei if you don't pay the fine! The next night we bought extra tickets and gave them to some other unsuspecting American tourists who were being scammed as we descended to the subway. Quite a scam! Buy tickets to subway early! ...
