Budapest is cool. You won’t know it when you first arrive but spend 24 hours there and you’ll soon realize what a hip and trendy city Budapest really is...

Spend a day exploring the Pest side and you’ll quickly realize that there is so much more to Budapest than its gargoyles and complex past. Its classical facade belies an energy and grit that we didn’t feel in other European cities.

The cool fonts on storefronts, the funky boutiques, the innovative restaurant scene, and exciting bar concepts reveal an edgy side to Budapest often overshadowed by its gothic exterior.

It’s funny, only after our trip did I start reading about this cool side of Budapest. Many people describe it as one of the most exciting cities in Europe.

Budapest, the ‘Pearl of the Danube’, is a harmonious blend of two erstwhile cities – Buda, resting on rolling hills and home to historic castles and palaces, and Pest, the vibrant hub of culture, politics, gastronomy, and nightlife. The two halves, each with their unique flavors, combine to create a city that’s as rich and diverse as the tapestry of its past.

Located in Central Europe, Budapest is an easy city to visit on a River Cruise, Road Trip, or by flying into the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport located about 16 km from the city center. You can book a transfer directly from the airport to take you to your downtown hotel. If you are looking for car rentals, check out RentalCars.com

Budapest is definitely up there with the most photogenic cities in Europe. In fact, I think one could make a pretty good case that it is the most photogenic city. There are few cities on the continent that have so many awesome photography locations.

I spent about a month based out of Budapest and I spent a significant time exploring around the city trying to find the best photo spots in Budapest. It was a bit of a mission, but it was so much fun making both the photos and exploring the city.

I hope this guide helps your photo adventures in Budapest.
