Budapest, Hungary (2018)
Our friends in Sweden asked us to join them to Budapest in Hungary for the summer wine festival in Buda Castle. Never having been in Budapest or even Hungary we accepted and went for a short four-day trip to this Eastern European city. The many historic buildings in this city are just fabulous, especially at night when the city looks like one from a fairytale. I can also definitely recommend a boat tour on the Danube river.

Here we are approaching the Széchenyi Chain Bridge. It's a chain bridge that spans the Danube river between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Without a doubt the most amazing bridge in the city.
