And of course this Tiffany & Co sponsored ice rink and gorgeous display is a must!!! Can I have this bench please??? Is there anything better than a gift that comes in a little blue box?! . . . . . #tiffanyblue #tiffanyandcompany #londonist #londonatchristmas #christmasmagic #london_city_photo #london_enthusiast #londonphotography #londondiaries #londonlife #londonstreets #londonmarkets #coventgardenmarket #christmasinlondon #christmasdecorations🎄 #streetphotography #streetscapes #speechlessplaces #travellikealocal #travellikeagirl #traveltheglobe #visitlondonofficial #iglondon #christmasmarkets #lifebeginsat40 #travelbloggervibes #travelbloggerlife #weekendtravels #wanderlusts #wanderlusttravel

The Memorial to Hungarian Jews, or Weeping Willow Tree, is in the courtyard of the Dohány Street Synagogue in Budapest. It is a beautiful memorial to those cruelly murdered. On the leaves of the tree, over 30,000 family names are inscribed. Around 450,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. One of out every three killed in Auschwitz was Hungarian, or deported from Hungary. There are memorials and reminders throughout Budapest, of the city’s painful past. The Dohány Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in all of Europe. It’s hard to visit Budapest without wanting to learn about the country’s history. This memorial should definitely be on your list. For more about Budapest, head over to the blog! Link in profile. Who would you travel to Budapest with?

Fisherman’s Bastion is not only beautiful, but offers some of the best views in Budapest! From there, you have a perfect view of the Parliament Building, and it’s even more spectacular when lit up at night! I had so much fun in Budapest, and ate the best food! I felt really safe alone there, even when walking at night. I often stress over fitting everything in when I travel for the weekend, and of course there is so much I didn’t see. I hope to be back someday, but the reality is there are so many amazing places to see. It takes a lot for me to return to the same city. What place do you keep going back to? . . . . . #fishermansbastion #budapesthungary #budapest🇭🇺 #budapeste #budapest_hungary #budapest_is_awesome #budapestgram #budapestagram #visitbudapest #lovebudapest #speechlessplaces #travelbloggerlife #travelbloggervibes #traveltheglobe #weekendtravel #wanderlusttravel #solotravels #travellikealocal #travellikeagirl #bestcity #bestcitybreaks #easterneurope #hungary🇭🇺 #hungary_gram #ighungary #hellohungary #livingthedreamtour #lifebeginsat40 #theprettycities

Have you read my blog post about Budapest yet?! It made for the perfect fall getaway, even in the rain. If you are looking for a 2-3 day European city break, or an additional stop on a longer trip, consider Budapest! The Parliament Building is absolutely fascinating, and a must see. I also found the people to be friendly and Hungarian food is delicious. As far as capital cities go, Budapest is fairly inexpensive. To learn more, check out the link in my profile.

Beautiful Matthias Church in the Castle District of Budapest, is architecturally stunning! During the Ottoman Empire, this church was turned into a mosque, but later it became a church again. The history of Hungary is so interesting - they were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then part of the Soviet Union, and now an independent country in the EU. Budapest is a fascinating city that is worth visiting. Head over to my blog to read my latest post!! Link in profile.

I love visiting Cathedrals when I travel. Pictured here is St. Stephen’s Basilica, a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Budapest. It’s the third largest church in Hungary and it’s named for the first King of Hungary. His right hand is actually kept on display inside the Cathedral. The inside is absolutely stunning with gold and marble. It’s tied with the Parliament Building as the tallest building in Budapest. Both stand at 96 metres, and regulations prohibit buildings being taller than this height. A tour guide explained that this symbolizes the equal rules of state and religion in Hungarian culture. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in Budapest - even on a rainy day. I wish I could have some brighter, sunnier photos for y’all! What is your favorite Cathedral in Europe? . . . . . #ststephensbasilica #churchmypassion #catholicchurch #romancatholicchurch #cathedrals #streetscenes #streetphotographyworldwide #streetscape #solotravels #solotraveller #budapesthungary #budapest🇭🇺 #budapest_hungary #budapestgram #budapestagram #budapeste #budapestcity #hungary🇭🇺 #hungary_gram #hungarygram #ighungary #hellohungary #travellikealocal #travelbloggervibes #travelblogging #travelbloggerlife #weekendtravel #wanderlusttravel #visithungary #travel_europe

A rainy day in Budapest is better than no day in Budapest! The Parliament Building was so fun to photograph, and the guards (and rain) kept the crowds at bay! I was mesmerized by my tour of this building. The dome room was absolutely incredible, but no photos were allowed inside. The building had red carpet everywhere, a total of 3km worth I think (can’t remember the exact number but it was well over a mile!). The Parliament building, which is decorated lavishly with gold inside, has 691 rooms! It’s a must see attraction when visiting Budapest, even on a rainy day. How do you edit your photos of a rainy day? Is there a trick for making them look sunny, cause that would be amazing! . . . . . #parliament #hungarianparliament #budapesthungary #budapest🇭🇺 #budapeste #budapest_hungary #budapest_is_awesome #budapestgram #budapestagram #budapestparliament #budapestcity #lovebudapest #visitbudapest #easterneurope #traveltheglobe #travellikealocal #solotravels #solotraveling #speechlessplaces #bestcitybreaks #travelbloggervibes #travelvibes #weekendtravel #wanderlusttravel #alwaysonvacay #lifebeginsat40 #travel_europe #hungary🇭🇺 #hungary_gram #visithungary

The Hungarian Parliament building is one of the most iconic buildings (and most visited) in Eastern Europe. I struggled to get it all in one shot, unless I was far away. It’s truly magnificent, inside and outside! It’s the largest Parliament building in mainland Europe, and second in all of Europe. The largest is in London, so not technically mainland Europe. You can tour this stunning building. They have tours in different languages and you can book online ahead of time, or go that morning for last minute tickets. Have you been inside this incredible building?? . . . . . #parliament #parliamenthouse #budapesthungary #budapest🇭🇺 #budapest_hungary #budapeste #budapestgram #budapestagram #budapestparliament #budapesttravel #budapestlife #budapestcity #budapestlove #hungary🇭🇺 #hungary_gram #hungarygram #hellohungary #visithungary #travellikealocal #travellikeagirl #solotrip #solotraveller #speechlessplaces #bestcitybreaks #travelbloggervibes #traveltheglobe #alwaysonvacay #weekendtravels #wanderlusttravel #instahungary

The iconic Szechenyi Chain Bridge in Budapest over the Danube River, connects the cities of Buda and Pest. It is beautiful at night, all lit up. Tourists and locals walk this bridge, and marvel the views of both sides of the city. It opened in 1849 after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. It became the first permanent bridge in the Hunagariaj capital. During World War II, the Germans blew up the bridge on January 18,1945 as the Soviets advanced upon Hungary. It was rebuilt in 1949. Have you walked across this iconic bridge? . . . . . #szechenyi #chainbridge #chainbridgebudapest #budapesthungary #budapest🇭🇺 #budapeste #budapest_hungary #budapest_is_awesome #budapestgram #budapestagram #budapestlife #budapesttravel #budapeststreets #budapestcity #budapestarchitecture #hungary #hungary🇭🇺 #hungary_gram #hungarygram #ighungary #hellohungary #visithungary #hungaryphoto #traveltheglobe #travelislove #travellikealocal #travel_blogger #travelbloggervibes #travellingsolo #solotravels
