Anyone been to Budapest?

[Rick]

I know for a while it was getting that way.

Hopefully the cultural aspect of the city frightened them off.

All booked and sorted. Did numerous checks and spoke to friends who have been and they reassured me that it's not Hungarys answer to Blackpool! (Stag do's).

We are staying here: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Revie...ngary.html

Looks a nice enough gaffe. Mind you beyond sleeping and getting breakfast we won't be in the place much!

Should be a good boys jolly weekend.

Ohhhh yesssss.
To be fair, we are sensible 'ish' as we want to enjoy the weekend and take in Budapest. But yes, I reckon 'messy' is a fair description!

And so the countdown to Friday begins.

Just one day left. Will be in the lounge at Manchester Airport this time tomorrow sampling their coffee and finest bacon butties.

They haven't.

We saw two (stag) groups get met at the airport as we arrived. We didn't see them again though. We assumed they must stick to the streets off the long main shopping/restuarant street. The side streets off there come alive with 'titty bars' at night. Its a 15 min walk from the centre though - and you could be eating on that street and not know about the side streets anyway its so big and busy. That said, we did walk through there and still saw no stag parties.

There were none (stags) at all in any of the cafe bars, restuarants and 'ruin bars' we went to which we all very busy and a very mixed crowd. (Nationalities, gender, age).

Fantastic place to go and far too much to see/do in just a weekend. So much culture during the day, so many districts to visit and then whatever night life you want in the evening from fine dining to world renown 'Ruin Bars' like the excellent Szimpla Kert.

I usually use the same sites: booking.com and *link removed until Jessica posts more or hell freezes over or United win the league* when travel to Budapest. There are a lot of tiny towns in Hungary, which I advise all to see and get some pleasure from thermal waters.
