Let’s take a look at more quotes about Budapest and what the travellers say:
2 | ‘This is where I came in. Budapest: where East meets West. The Blue Danube is something more than a waltz by Johann Strauss.’ — Paul Kelly as Tom Kelly in Guilty of Treason
3 | ‘But if you go from Moscow to Budapest you think you are in Paris.’ — Gyorgy Ligeti, A Hungarian-Austrian composer of contemporary classical music.
4 | ‘Budapest is a prime site for dreams: the East’s exuberant vision of the West, the West’s uneasy hallucination of the East. It is a dreamed-up city; a city almost completely faked; a city invented out of other cities, out of Paris by way of Vienna — the imitation, as Claudio Magris has it, of an imitation.’ — M. John Harrison, Author, The Course of the Heart
5 | ‘Straddling the Danube River, with the Buda Hills to the west and the Great Plain to the east, Budapest is a gem of a city.’ — Lonely Planet, An Australian Travel Guide Book Publisher

8 | ‘I love Budapest for all the right reasons — architecture (especially art nouveau), romance (particularly the views from the bridges) and sticky apricot jam — and some wrong ones, too — killer pálinka (fruit brandy), rickety trolleybuses, and spending way too much time in the Turkish baths.’ — Lonely Planet
9 | ‘Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul , Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.’ — Ray Bradbury, Author, Dandelion Wine
Quotes about Budapest
Thermal Baths in Budapest
Budapest is famously known as the capital city of thermal baths and thrives on its spa culture. The city sits on a fault line and is fed by natural hot springs. Budapest has nine thermal baths and one-hundred-twenty-three hot springs. Each bath is unique. It is worth experiencing one of the dozen or so impressive thermal baths. The Széchenyi Thermal Bath is the most popular and is 109 years old.
10 | ‘One thing that hasn’t changed through the years is the Hungarian affection for taking the waters — marinating in thermal baths. A tradition going back to the Romans continued by the Ottomans and something that survived through two wars and communism. And they do it in style.’ — Anthony Bourdain
11 | ‘In Budapest, you’ll find experiences like nothing else in Europe: Feel your stress ebb away as you soak in hundred-degree water, surrounded by opulent Baroque domes and by Speedo- and bikini-clad Hungarians. Ogle some of Europe’s most richly decorated interiors, which echo a proud little nation’s bygone glory days.’ — Rick Steves, An American Travel Writer
12 | ‘Budapest in late May is a city of lilacs. The sweet, languid, rather sleepy smell of lilacs wafts everywhere. And it is a city of lovers, many of them quite middle-aged. Walking with their arms around each other, embracing and kissing on park benches. A sensuousness very much bound up (it seems to me) with the heady ubiquitous smell of lilacs.’ — Joyce Carol Oates, Writer
13 | ‘Budapest intrigue, three hours of black and white, squinting at subtitles through a telescopic sight, Hungarian melody, repeating endlessly, is this the end I see? Approaching in front of me.’ — Elvis Costello, Singer, Songwriter
14 | ‘Europe’s most underrated big city, Budapest can be as challenging as it is enchanting.’ — Rick Steves
15 | ‘In Budapest, I always had questions. What is your signature dish? They, of course, said goulash. I loved it so much and now have to figure out a way to make it at home.’ — Tia Mowry

17 | ‘Stencil had called from a Hungarian coffee shop on York Avenue known as Hungarian Coffee Shop.’ — Thomas Pynchon, Author
18 | ‘A chest with no breath creeping through darkness, An iced game of chess melting in Budapest. Building a gambling house in my head, near the castle, a cold hunter lays, In Budapest.’ — Poni Hoax, French Musical Group

20 | I’ve done drives through Budapest and Oslo and used to drive to Sardinia, too, which is quite a journey. Drives are an adventure because I don’t plan them too carefully. I take detours depending on how I feel and usually stop and stay at places I like the look of. — Rick Astley, Singer Songwriter
21 | ‘But best of all I loved the Castle Hill District of Buda. I never tired of its ancient streets. Even in those days old things attracted me more than new ones. For me the deepest truth was found only in things suffused with the lives of many generations, which hold the past as permanently as mason Kelemen’s wife buried in the high tower of Deva’. — Antal Szerb, Hungarian Writer.
