My favorite memory from my time in Budapest was the river cruise the first night I was there. Seeing the Hungarian parliament building all lit up at night was breathtaking! I also like experiencing the Ruin Bars, I met some cool friends there who were also solo travelling! The goulash and sourdough bread I had for lunch there was absolutely amazing, and the servers were so kind. They all spoke multiple languages; it was pretty cool!
