My Lovely Hungarian Experience

Hungary is one of the European countries that took the benefits of globalization and became rich in last few decades. Budapest, the capital city has become a city of happenings in terms of global business and many international companies have started operating from this city. As the visitors increased, many major airlines have started operating flights to Budapest and there are several cheap flights to Budapest too. As a part of our business development, company planned to expand our operations to Hungary too. Naturally Budapest has become the choice for the regional head quarters and the company entrusted the duty upon me to make the initial arrangements for the opening of the office there.

As usual our personal department done the entire airline deals and purchased cheap plane tickets. At last I reached the destination without any serious problems. In between my work I had enough time to visit the most important places in the city too. After seeing the Hungarian Crown jewels kept at the parliament I went to St. Stephen’s Basilica. The most attractive thing about this Basilica is that the right hand of the founder of Hungary, King Saint Stephen is displayed here. Near to the basilica I have seen two or three restaurants which were serving traditional cuisines. It was well crowded and I have seen a lot of foreigners there.

Castle district was another attraction which can be called as a bed of Hungarian history. There are several places of historical importance in this area which includes the Royal Palace, which has witnessed a number of battles since the 13th century. Now it houses a historic museum and a library.

Budapest is not only for the tourists who are interested in history. There are many places where you can enjoy a holiday. The visit to Margaret Islands was really a surprise to me. The tiny Island has many parks and venues for recreational activities including a cycling track. The cycling through the woods and greenery enjoying unpolluted air was not only a thrilling experience, but also was capable of injecting a sort of positive energy. Obudai- Sziget is a manmade island which houses a number of dance clubs and pubs. Many tourists are coming to this city to enjoy the dances and the night life in this tiny island. After the introduction of cheap tickets to Budapest, such tourists have increased in numbers. However the authorities are taking all measures for running these clubs safely.

There are many such places to visit. Cspel Island, Luppa-sziget etc are some of them to name. The city with its rich culture and the recently acquired prosperity in business has everything to offer to a visitor. There is no doubt that any types of tourists can enjoy a few days in this city as the city has something that can satisfy them. When I returned after completing my task, I was really happy that now I got a chance to visit this city again and again.
