Introduction to The Budapest Brit

So, here we are.  A blog.

And here I am, in this amazing city:  Budapest has to be one of the most alive places in the world.  And now you're going to read my thoughts on life here in the capital of Hungary - the seat of it's parliamentary democracy.

Anyway, here is where I'm going to tell you about the secret hidden treasures of the city, the difficulties of finding work, going out and general life in the city as we emerge from a freezing winter into a thawing, life giving spring.

For starters, let me give you a tip.  Come to Budapest.  If you've not been before, just visit for a holiday - just a weekend if you can spare no more.  The city will capture you in it's spell.  From the neo-gothic splendour of the parliament to the peace and beauty of the Margaret Island, Budapest can enchant you in many ways.  Come and explore the Terror House and learn the truths about the occupation of Hungary by the Nazis and the Soviets.  Then refresh yourself with a coffee in one of the myriad of coffee shops and bars along Andrássy út.

This city is vibrant and colourful, and you may learn about what life in Hungary really is like.
