2005 – Budapest and Kosice: a nice surprise

This is the second trip with my friend Luca, 3 days in Budapest, visiting the city and going to Kosice (Slovakia) for a daily trip. The previous trip with Luca, in Bratislava, 2 months earlier, was good, we had the same ideas about what to visit, where to go, so we decided to go for another one.

I remember wonderful sunny days, that allowed us to visit the city from early morning till late evening. We also had time to relax at spa (swimming outside in April, while in Milan was cold and rainy was really incredible). It was my first time and (till now) the only time I went to Budapest spa. We spent some hours in the afternoon, while waiting for the dinner time. On Sunday we went for a daily trip to Kosice, in Slovakia: I didn’t know the city but it was a really nice surprise, it’s a beautiful place. I wanted to go back there but till now I haven’t yet had the chance.

As hotel we booked one online but when we arrived, it didn’t seem good (the entrance, the reception, everything seemed almost abandoned, so we decided to change and to go to the Mercure Hotel at a short distance (a bit more expensive), but surely good.

Lunchs/dinners: it was really long ago, so I don’t remember exactly what we ate, but 2 places are still in my memory: an Irish pub on Vaci Utca, where we had a fantastic crepe with chocolate (the day we went to Kosice I hoped to come back a bit earlier to get another crepe) and the restaurant in Kosice was good and really really cheap.
