Art Nouveau Tour in Budapest

This past July we took the most amazing river cruise adventure

that began in Budapest and ended in Amsterdam.

I was so excited to see what Budapest was all about, I 

had no idea what to expect!  After spending a few days 

there I might want to say that it is one of my favorite 

European cities!  It's absolutely gorgeous, there are so many

fun things to do and it's a young, hip city.

Our first day there was spent on a personalized Art Nouveau tour.

We visited many of the cities famous Art Nouveau buildings, seeing 

as that is one of my most favorite styles of art and architecture 

this was a such a fun experience.  Bethy even threw me an 

Art Nouveau themed birthday party one year.  Click here to see

pictures from that magical soiree. 

Here are a few examples of 

the beauty you can find in Budapest:

The Opera House

This gorgeous coffee shop was tucked away behind 

a book and souvenir store

This was the inside of the Szechenyi Baths

Bethy and I came back later in the evening

to actually take a dip in the famous baths, that 

adventure will be posted in another upcoming post ...

The Four Seasons Hotel

(no, we didn't stay here we just popped in

to admire it's beautiful lobby)

The Museum of Applied Arts

I found it fascinating that the outside is covered 

with so much pattern and bright colors and the inside 

is done all in white.  Both color schemes are gorgeous

After we toured the town we headed 

up to the Fisherman's Bastion, probably one of 

my favorite places in Budapest.  We also took

a tour of the stunning Matthias Church.

Pictures from that up next!
