Meeting the Budapest Spotters

The 10th destination on our trip to 26 cities in Europe: Budapest! We’re lucky to have found a nice little apartment here, and have stayed in this great city for almost a week.

Tisza Cipő – Hungary’s super quality, historic & trendy sneaker shop. I’m very happy our Spotter Hélène recommended me this place years ago – unfortunately this time they didn’t have the shoe I wanted in my size, to replace the Tisza’s I’ve worn almost every day for many years.

Mika Tivadar Bar – “Ruin pubs” are not as trendy as they used to be in Budapest amongst locals, but this fancy one definitely is!

Szimpla Berlin – The re-opened classic with great wifi and even better espresso, spotted by Tamás. This is where we worked from quite a few hours.

Szabó Ervin Könyvtár – A beautiful library, with one of the cheapest canteens of the city! It’s one of the top 5 favorite spots of our Budapest Spotter Timea.

Thanks so much to our Budapest Spotters – the Budapest guide is really an excellent one. We had a lot of fun meeting you all, and we hope to be back soon. For now, on to the next city… Belgrade!
