As we were headed back down from Castle Hill we went down a back street and came across something called ‘Labirintus’ claiming to be Dracula’s cave.

My favourite place we visited while in Budapest was the Fisherman’s Bastion (or The Halászbástya if you’re looking for it on a map). If you do one thing while you’re there, make time to visit this amazing place.

There’s a large outside pool for swimming in and pool for hanging out in, several indoor bathing areas as well as saunas and spa treatments and massages. It’s pretty easy on the eyes as well as the complex is beautiful.CONTINUE READING
