Last but certainly not least was three days in the capital of Hungary, Budapest, and to our groups surprise, the best three days of the whole trip - you can't not have an amazing time with cheap food and the average pint costing £1.50...
Budapest is filled with unique landmarks, with great views (as shown below) especially where Buda and Pest meet - for those that didn't know (Me), the sides Buda and Pest were different places before becoming one big city in 1873.
Our favourite day consisted of us climbing a big hill/castle to get the scenes as shown above, although I'm afraid I've not got a clue what it's called. Big hill with a view. It may take a while to walk to and walk up, but it's worth the climb. After taking our time to come down due to admiring the view, we finished the day with a burger and a pint right on the river before heading to a ruin bar - if you didn't know, Budapest has many unique bars that were built on the sites of abandoned buildings, which is again something I stress you should not miss if you are visiting the city. If you're making a night of it, I suggest finding the club 'Instant' - a massive club converted from old housing with a large outside area.
Our last full day of the trip was spent at the Széchenyi thermal bath, something that Budapest is known for with this specific bath holding a 'Spa Party' every Saturday night. Széchenyi baths is one of the largest bath complexes in Europe with its 21 pools, saunas, steam rooms, ice baths, lazy rivers, massage rooms and much, much more. Entrance for the day costs around £15 (5400 Huf) which is a bargain, although bring more to enjoy the food and drink they have to offer.
Well, that's the end of the trip and sadly the blogs, thanks for taking the time to read! I hope I entertained and if you do go interrailing, make sure to go to Budapest, otherwise you'll be left feeling like this:
