What did a Swedish travel expert like in Budapest?
What is it that attracts Scandinavian people in Hungary's capital?
Visiting Budapest is a perfect program for a weekend — at least as Swedish journal Dagens Nyheter’s author Mans Ivansson claims in his article. The journalist recently published a report in the Swedish paper, according to Turizmus.com.
The ruined, sleazy houses and ruin pubs seem romantic in the eyes of foreigners, as long as the restroom is clean, the prices are favorable and guests do not get tricked. Ivansson also praised the attractiveness of the Secession and Art Deco style buildings. He also mentions New York Cafe from this perspective.
He highlights Corintia Hotel Budapest — with mentioning the exact address and the room prices — referring to its history going back to 1896. He also mentions how gorgeous the palace is, and how much it resembles to Grand Budapest Hotel from Wes Anderson’s Hollywood hit picture. He also praises Palazzo Zichy.
The author mentions that bathing also means unforgettable experiences — like, for example, in the Széchenyi Bath. He also liked the Fisherman’s Bastion and the Buda Castle. He calls the marketplace at Fővám Square an “exotic adventure”, but it is not the only place where it is worth to go for shopping: Godzsu yard’s small shops and antiques remain memorable for every tourist.
Of course, Hungarian cuisine is also on the list of attractive factors. Ivansson, in the end, seems to know very little about the Hungarian wine culture.
