If the sun shines it's a wonderful place. This place may be worth a visit:
Pretty sure that was the "Cafe Hungaria" that we went to 26 years ago when the Iron Curtain was still up. When we went all those years ago it had just been restored to its historic glory and was gleaming. Gypsy violinists the lot. Had the stuffed cabbage - which I always have in London's most famous Hungaria restaurant too - 'twas exquisite. Bear in mind that was a long time ago and the world has moved on. But, if the owners have sense they'll have retained the historic, classic feel.
Make sure you eat in restaurants were you can - the finest cuisine in the world, IMO. Had a lovely wild boar dish in a little, expensive restaurant somewhere near the Hilton on the hill in Buda.
Don't forget to wash your meals down with a bottle of Tokay dessert wine. If you've not had it, its a bit like a very light sherry and very potable!

I'm going with a friend & her friends. I looked at flying direct but it was going to be around £850-£1k but my friend lives in Bangkok so flying there with Emirates then on from there after a few days with Air Asia, flights altogether cost about£750
Hotel were going to sort out soon but there's plenty of cheap(ish) options out there

Just sorted 7 days on a converted trawler next June, sailing from Stromness and taking in wreck diving at Scapa Flow and scenic dives around Orkneys and Shetlands. Might even get some walking and photography in on an evening. Luverly !!
