As a child my mom, sister, and I did all those trips while my dad was deployed. I can remember so much even though I was only in 3rd-6th grade. Do as many as you can do!

(obviously he had been before because he served his mission in hungary but he hadn't done a lot of the touristy stuff) tell chris to call chris or when i get time i'll look up in my journal of what we did (remembering names of things is next to impossible!). definitely go to hero square, that palace/castle on a hill, something called gellert hedge (definitely not the correct spelling), and this holocaust kinda museum that is really cool. and make sure to eat langos (i saw someone else mention that too) and something i can't remember how to spell that sounds like "foreign eddie" that is a like a breakfast pastry and you can find them at food carts on the sidewalks. oh, and walk across that bridge with the lions on either side! we did europe for three weeks and spent a week and a half in hungary (although we went to a ton of the smaller cities too) and budapest was so amazing. i don't know why it doesn't get the hype that prague and vienna always get because, in my opinion, it's right up there with them! i'm so excited for you! i'm dying to go back!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429409718992186257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020546589990477066.post-72177371720722287312013-07-23T11:42:41.006-06:002013-07-23T11:42:41.006-06:00Check with Chris Hillier!

If you are able to, you should check out Memento Park - it's a bit outside the city, but totally worth the trip - a collection of Cold War/Soviet monuments that they didn't know what to do with after the Soviet Union fell. Definitely walk across the bridge between Buda and Pest. I also loved the walk down Andrassy Avenue - it goes right to Hero's Square, and it's lined with gorgeous buildings, many of which are embassies. The interesting thing is that there are also lots of buildings in serious disrepair, and if you head in a couple blocks from the square it changes immensely. You can still see bullet holes, damage from fighting, people just haven't been able to repair. Such an interesting juxtaposition. You must also try some Langos (pronounced langosh, which is kind o like a savory funnel cake). And you have to at least get dessert/coffee at the New York Cafe, restored to it's pre-war splendor, gorgeous inside, but they won't let you take photos without getting something to eat and it's pricey for an actual meal. It's an amazing city, we loved it!Miriam Prantnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292390312513364928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020546589990477066.post-58731472791770460582013-07-19T00:13:33.248-06:002013-07-19T00:13:33.248-06:00I've been to Edinburgh.

Most people think of Pest when they conjure up images of the city. I'd really recommend a bike tour. I can't remember how much we paid for it but I'm sure it was cheap because we were poor grad students. If the kiddos are with you it might not be that easy though. Go see the palace, cross over the chain bridge and head up the hill in Buda for those gorgeous views of the palace. St. Michael's is a beautiful old church if that kind of thing interests you. But gorgeous old churches in Europe are a dime o dozen (which is crazy to think about). I also went to the baths you showed in the 6th photo down. It was so relaxing. If I remember, there's a zoo right there as well.
