I have mixed feelings about Budapest and Hungary. I just came back from my 10-day trip from my stay in Budapest. At first, I was kind of shocked by disturbing-looking buildings everywhere (once they were beautiful!) and a lot of poor people (I stayed in Budapest VII, which is pretty central and convenient, but notorious for those things). The food was bad (the second worse, after England), so it was a disappointment.

From the positive side, transportation is very convenient, Szecheny baths are amazing (will definitely return if I ever go back to Hungary), a trip to wine region Eger was very nice (wine cellars and the town), my hotel Nemzeti (by Accor`s M Gallery) was perfect.
