Budapest. Simply the best...

Quite frankly, we aren't meant to have favourites here at In Your Pocket. But if we did, then it is an opne secret that our favourite city in Europe would be Budapest.

With an imperial glow that nearly five decades of socialism failed to fully see off, the city is a gem of architectural wonders, full of Secession, Gothic and Neo-Classical masterpieces.

It is also party central, meaning that everyone can enjoy the place, be it by day or by night.

Here at Budapest In Your Pocket we have the best of this best of cities right here, in bite sized yet very thorough chunks.
