Budapest Mobility 2026

We didn’t do anything in the morning.   At 2:00 PM, we went to eat at IKEA with Iris and Eliza because we wanted to try the food there.  Afterward, we went to Auchan to buy ingredients for an empanada and the ingredients to make a Spanish potato omelet (tortilla de patata) the following day at Léda’s place.  Finally, once we got home, Iris, Judit (the stepmother) and I made the empanada for dinner, as well as an apple pie.

At 1:30 PM, we headed to Normafa (a natural area and mountain park located in the Buda Hills). To get up there, we took a chairlift. We walked around the area and enjoyed a traditional dessert called Rétes.   Afterward, we caught a bus back to the city,and, at 4:00 PM, we stopped for a treat at a place called Dixie (where they sell small boxes containing a scoop of cookie dough and a scoop of ice cream).  Finally, we visited a "ruin bar" called Szimpla Kert and a street food spot called Karaván.

At 4:00 PM, we went to have pizza at Pizza George (they serve New York-style pizzas), and it was very good.  Afterward, we headed to the Danube to board a boat for a cruise along the river (everything was beautiful).   When that was over, we went home.

We woke up early because we had to catch a 9 AM bus to Vienna (Austria). Upon arrival, the first thing we did was go shopping along a street famous for its many shops.   Afterward, we stopped for lunch (at 2 PM) at a place called Honu, which sells customizable rice bowls, and ate our food in a park.  Once we finished, we visited St. Stephen's Cathedral and then went for drinks (at 5 PM) at a bar called HIIICH (where you get a free teddy bear with your drinks and desserts). Finally, we headed to an amusement park called Prater (at 6 PM), went on about three rides, and then hurried back to catch the bus to Budapest, which was departing just before 8 PM.

In the morning, we didn’t do anything. In the afternoon (at 4:00 PM), we strolled through touristy streets and stopped at a few shops to buy souvenirs.  Afterward (at 5:30 PM), we headed to a café called Zoo Café, where we could have a drink in the company of “exotic” animals, such as snakes or lizards, as well as more common ones, like cats or rabbits.  When we left (at 7:00 PM), we went to a supermarket to pick up some groceries, as we were holding a Spanish food workshop at Eliza’s place, where we made an empanada (it was delicious).  

In the morning we slept, and at 2:00 PM we set off.  We went to some thermal baths called Kristályvíz (Úszóiskola) and spent the afternoon there until 7:00 PM. Afterward, we returned home by car, as Eliza’s father had driven us

In the morning, we stayed at home.   In the afternoon (4:00 PM), we went to visit Fisherman’s Bastion, which offered beautiful views of the city, and Matthias Church.  We took a walk around that area and gradually made our way toward Buda Castle (5:00 PM), where there were also beautiful views.  Once we finished visiting all of that, we returned home.

In the morning (at 12 noon), we went to visit the Parliament; it was a national holiday here, so admission to the Parliament and the vast majority of museums was free. However, we weren't actually able to enter the Parliament building because a conference was being held just outside.   Later (at 1:00 PM), we visited the Ethnographic Museum, both inside and out. Inside, there’s a “standard” exhibition, much like in other museums, but on the outside, you can see that the museum features a garden on its sloping roof. Afterward, we headed to Heroes' Square and, finally, to the most beautiful McDonald’s in Budapest: a location that, in the evening, transforms into a party venue.

During the morning, we gave a presentation about Spain, Galicia, and our town, Verín, and said goodbye to everyone, as it was our last day of class there.   Afterward, we went to have some pizza (at 4:30 PM) and once we finished, we headed back to the tram station to return home though I ended up having dinner at Eliza’s place with her and Iris.

In the morning, we went to school, and afterward, we headed straight to a very nice restaurant for lunch with our teacher, Katie (3:00 PM).  Once we finished, we visited the Chain Bridge, the Opera House, part of the Parliament building and the Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial. Finally, we went back to the Allee shopping mall to look at a few things.

In the morning, we went to school.   In the afternoon (4 PM), we went for a walk before heading to a shopping center called Köki, where we bought a few things.  After leaving the mall, we returned home.

In the morning, we went to class, and when we left, we headed straight home.   Around 5:00 PM, we went to a shopping mall called Campona to buy some things; I found a stuffed animal for my little cousin and a T-shirt for myself.  Before leaving, we picked up some croissants at a bakery and headed back home.

We didn’t do anything that morning because we were at home sleeping.   In the evening (6:00 PM), we went to a supermarket because I wanted to make a cheesecake for my host family, that is the same kind that Léda had loved back in Verín.  At 8:00 PM, we took the cheesecake out of the oven and they tried it (they loved it). Afterward, we went to bed early because we had to get up very early the next day.

In the morning, I went with Kyra to a cat café for a drink (1:00 PM) and afterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at Subway (it was my first time trying their sandwiches and they were delicious).   Later, I went shopping with Léda and some of her friends and we visited a matcha café (6:00 PM).  Finally, we went to KFC for dinner.

We didn’t do anything today.   In the morning we went to school and when we left, we returned home.

In the morning, we went to school. In the afternoon(at 4 p.m.), we went to a café that served cookies similar to Crumbl Cookies; there were lots of varieties, and the one I chose was delicious. Also, the staff were Spanish and were very kind to us. On our way out, we passed by St. Stephen’s Basilica and took some photos (it was huge and beautiful). Finally, we took a stroll through the streets and stopped for dinner at a Burger King.

In the morning, we went to school. In the afternoon, we went to a pavillion to watch a basketball game (starting at 3:30 PM) until it ended (4:30). Afterward, we took a bus to Pest to have some pancakes (6:00 PM) at a spot very well-known for its "fluffy pancakes"; they were delicious.  When we left, we passed by the Budapest Eye (a huge Ferris wheel) and watched the sunset.

In the morning, we went to class.   In the afternoon, we did hardly anything: we went to Eliza's house to spend the afternoon there and walk her little dog.

In the morning, we went to school.   We didn't do much in the afternoon: Iris and I went with Léda to her dance class (5:00 PM) and afterwards, we went to Starbucks for a drink.

We slept during the morning and at 2:00 PM, we went to the zoo with our class, staying until 5:00 PM. There, we saw a lot of animals we had never seen before and watched a seal show (they were very cute). We saw everything, from animals as small as spiders to ones as large as giraffes and my favorites were the foxes and the tigers.

  In the morning, my host family and I went to IKEA to eat (the food was delicious) and to buy things for the house, since they had moved and are currently renovating it. In the afternoon (4 PM), we went to an outlet mall called Premier Outlet to shop for clothes, but I didn't find anything. In the evening (8 PM), we went out for drinks at a bar with the partners and some of their friends. Afterward, we went to another bar where a DJ was playing and we stayed there until 1 AM (we stopped for a kebab dinner during that time).

  In the morning, we went to school.   In the afternoon, I went to dance class with Léda, we walked past the House of Terror in Budapest and we made our way to her dance studio (4:00 PM).  After that, we went to a bar for a drink and when we finished, we went home.

In the morning, we went to school as usual.   In the afternoon (4:00 PM), we visited Cinema Mystica in Budapest: a digital art and light exhibition featuring 23 rooms, each offering a unique show. Afterward, we tried the famous Chimney Cake (5:00 PM); it was delicious (we ordered ours with filling, though the unfilled version is more famous and cheaper).   Later, we went for a walk and stopped at a bar for drink lemonade with the girls and some of their friends while the girls attended a conference call with a teacher (8:00 PM).

We went to school in the morning. Afterward, we took the tram to the library (5 PM) because the girls needed to study, and we took the opportunity to do the same. When we finished, we went to Hungary's most famous smash burger restaurant: Smashy (7 PM). We picked up our food and went to eat it on Liberty Bridge, enjoying a view of all of Pest.

In the morning, we went to our first class at the school. We saw that the school was well-organized; the classrooms have sofas and there are many breaks ranging from 5 to 20 minutes after each class (including two 20-minute breaks for eating). Afterward, we visited Margarita Island. There, we saw a beautiful and huge field of flowers where you can write on one of the many stones scattered on the ground, so we decided to write our names and finally, we visited a bird zoo.

In the morning, we visited a university with our class and played a few games where winning earned us gifts like thermoses, socks and keychains. At 11:00 AM, we went to a restaurant for a meal with our teacher, María, and the Hungarian teacher, Katie; it served as both a welcome and a farewell, as we were meeting the Hungarian teacher while the Spanish teacher was leaving that day.  Afterward (1:00 PM), we went to the Central Market Hall (a venue featuring artisan markets and many souvenir shops, where I bought magnets for my family and friends). Finally, we went again to the Etele shopping mall (4:00 PM).

We didn't do much that day. I stayed home in the morning and in the afternoon, we went to another shopping center called Etele. We bought a couple of things there and on the way back, we took public transport home.

That day, we all went shopping in Pest.  On the way, we saw Cinema Mystica from outside (a digital art and light exhibition) and the "Big Moon" . We visited stores like those owned by Inditex, as well as others we don't have in Spain, such as Müller and Half Price.  Around 7:30 PM, we went to the Allee shopping mall; we bought dinner there from restaurants not found in Spain (Bellozo and Simon’s Burger) and we went to see a movie called “Verity” at the mall's cinema.
