Hello and welcome to Budapest Travel Tips !
I’m Laurent, a Frenchman who’s been living in Budapest for over 10 years and the author of the Budapest Travel Tips blog.
When I arrived in Budapest I searched the internet for information about the Hungarian capital: what to visit, what are the different baths in Budapest, where to eat, what cultural activities are on offer, what accommodation to choose, where to go out at night and many other questions for which I couldn’t find any reliable, up-to-date answers.
I also received many visitors to Budapest: family, friends and colleagues for whom I was delighted to prepare a full programme to discover all the facets of this magnificent city.
My notebook of addresses and good tips grew every year and I always had to innovate for the many visitors who came back to see me and already knew the must-sees of Budapest. Many of them came back to Hungary more than once!
Over time, I was also asked to give advice to ‘friends of friends’ who came to visit Budapest: young students, retired couples, families with young children….
So every month I was the author of an updated and adapted programme that managed to delight this wide audience.
I was happy to do this because I was delighted and proud to help people discover this city, to pass on my passion for Budapest and to share my passion for the city with others.
These numerous encounters also showed me that my visitors weren’t satisfied with either the information they found on the internet or the paper travel guides, which weren’t very up-to-date.
So I decided to create the Budapest Travel Tips blog to help English-speaking travellers discover the Hungarian capital.
I update this blog every month and, living in Budapest, I’m constantly discovering new places, activities and programmes.
The success of the Budapest Travel Tips blog came fairly quickly, so I’ve also adapted it into several languages.
I hope you enjoy this site and that it helps you to have an unforgettable stay in Budapest!
Best regards,
Laurent
