Another great report! Enjoyed it very much - brings back memories of my law school travels between terms!

What a great trip report !

Realizing I am very late to the party, I came across this report while checking out FlyerTalk for some info on Budapest. I have an all-too-brief visit rapidly approaching. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ties-well.html

Thanks for the great photos and narrative. Really gives me a sense of the city and how to structure my own inaugural excursion into Eastern Europe.

Oh - did you ever find a local beer that was more to your liking?

Cheers.

Why thank you! It's always an honor for the writer when his TR gets a bump. I'm glad my report was helpful for you too.

Sadly no, I never found a beer I liked. Thankfully, there was more than enough delicious wine to keep me happy ^

Ah OK. Thanks. I am not much of a wine drinker, but will do my best to continue sampling local beers until I find a good one.

Now trying to decide if a thermal bath would be a worthwhile stop...

*craft beer fanatic checking in* Check out my TR from when I was in Budapest a couple of winters ago. I went to a couple craft beer bars, and a little microbrewery/bar. Let me know if you have any questions!

I really, really wanted to jump on that fare you got but I didn't have the vacation time available... Do the thermal bath. I didn't when I was there and regret it.

CMK10, another great report. I never saw this when it was first written so it was a good read last night!

Thanks for the link. For some reason I had not found that one during my initial search.

I didn't have vacation time either...so it is just a weekend trip for me.

I have about 22 hours from touch down until takeoff, so it is going to be a whirlwind visit. I am getting my first Business Class trips on both Austrian and Swiss, as well as a couple flights on a new aircraft type for me (Fokker 100). ^

These weekend jaunts are becoming a tradition.
Last year's version:http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-......-ua-lh.html

Love the sale fares.

Ack I wish I'd known about these places when I was there! Oh well, more motivation to go back
