Given that Manchester United failed (miserably) to qualify for the last European campaign (both Champions League and Europa) Jason (my brother), Mark (a good mate) and I decided we would go to Europe in their absence. Big Grin

We sit together at Old Trafford and get on very well.

We did Dusseldorf toward the end of last year and this was our second trip - To Budapest. None of us had been before so we were looking forward to it and trying to get as many pointers as we could for places to go from people who had been before.

So, here are a few of the photos ...

And so it starts. Breakfast of Champions:

Walking from the hotel across the river Danube. This is the Chain Bridge.

A quirky bar we all enjoyed. Never seemed to close.
VHS tapes make the wall up:

Tapes and a see through head.

Onto a bit of culture. The cable car journey upto the Castle region from the centre. Jason managed to lose his ticket for the journey back so paid again!

Thats the DJ in a multi storey 'Ruin Bar' which is classed within the top ten bars in the World. Amazing place to go.

Great place to go and so much history. We scratched the surface and didn't even go near some areas (Baths/ Spas being a very popular one). Cost of living is peanuts. You struggle to spend money there compared with the UK. Rounds of drinks (3 pints or three shorts) were under a fiver and food was similarly inexpensive.
Lovely weather, plenty to see and cheap. Ticks a lot of boxes for me! Cool

Cracking pics Paul, looks like a beautiful place to visit the architecture is awesome.

Great pics Kingy, it looks a cracking place with lots of culture

Sorry but I am confused, you went away and actually took in the culture as well as the beer. Are you sure it was you that went away?
