Budapest Local is an online magazine filled with handy tips and spots for when you’re visiting the city, not only the big ones but also great unexpected spots. Their ‘hidden places’ section is definitely worth checking out! They also have great short stories and videos about the city.
Catch Budapest
Catch Budapest is a blog by a young couple living in Budapest. They write about how the city lives, works, eats, drink and functions. And they’re also trying to bring the Hungarian language closer to our readers (and show them that it’s actually not as difficult as it seems!). One half of the bloggers is a native and the other is learning the language as they’re writing.
Egy Nap a Városban
When it comes to Budapest city blogs, Egy Nap a Városban (in Hungarian – translation here) is one of the most well known independent local blogs about the city.
