[2025 Budapest Attraction] Travel Guide for Hungarian National Museum (Updated Jun)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I discussed with my family for a long time and decided to spend the Chinese New Year in February this year. 11 days of free travel in Vienna and Budapest ✈️ Because the air tickets for the New Year are expensive, we chose a flight that connects in China. The airfare is about 31K Budapest, the capital of Hungary It is really a country where you can experience the European tourism atmosphere at a low cost. Although there has been some inflation and prices have risen a bit since the epidemic But compared to the cost in countries like France, Italy, etc. But it is much less! The Airbnb we stayed in Budapest this time was located opposite the Hungarian Parliament Building. Every time you get up early and at night, you can enjoy the super beautiful Capitol Building It is recommended that you buy a Budapest Card when you come to Budapest. This card allows free rides on subways, streetcars, buses, and many museums. The most worthwhile thing I think is that each card comes with a free cruise This is really a must experience! It’s so beautiful to sit on the boat and watch the Capitol at sunset and at night! If you have extra money, I recommend you go to other boats at your own expense to have free drinks. Or take a dinner cruise and have dinner while looking at the Capitol Building, which is more atmospheric! This time we traveled independently for 11 days and the total cost was about 60K! We cooked breakfast and dinner at Airbnb and had lunch at a restaurant outside. Eating out in Europe is more expensive. A meal for four people costs about 1,000 to 2,000 Taiwan dollars. If it is off-season, transfer from China The airfare is about 13K The cost can be reduced further to around 45K! Therefore, I really recommend everyone to travel to Budapest! ✈️ You can also travel to neighboring countries like Vienna and Slovakia!

#thingstodo Budapest is one of my favourite city in Europe . The reason is simple as this place is really beautiful and the architecture of the buildings captured my attention a lot. Firstly, the Hungarian National museum is amazing , this place located in the Buda castle and I really liked the design of the buildings. Furthermore, you can see the whole Buda castle opposite side to the river and the view is spectacular with the little princess statue. Lastly, the St’s Stephen Basilica is another signature building in Budapest. The shape and the structure are fascinating and it impressed me a lot to explore more! #Budapest

When I came to Stockholm, I had to feel that it must be the capital of art! Encouraged by the city's artistic appeal, the exhibition is one of the favorite amateur life of the locals. In addition to the well-known and most beautiful subway station, all kinds of large and small museums are closed until they are closed! I have to mention the restaurant in the museum, it is not too delicious!

The largest museum in the Netherlands, and in the green garden, there is a palace-like sense of grandeur. If you are free, you can download the official app, which has a detailed introduction and explanation. For the European culture and For those of these museums, its really a bit of a rush to follow the tour guide. You may miss a meaningful world famous book into the museum. The lobby is decorated in a minimalist style. After getting the ticket, you cant wait to go straight to the second floor/hh. The most striking collection of the National Museum is the Dutch painting of the "Golden Age" of the 17th century, the works of painters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, etc. The most important collection is the masterpiece of the Dutch painter Rembrandt. The Night Watch, SUSAN gave us a very detailed introduction to the life of Rembrandt's ups and downs. The younger Rembrandt is a very popular painter in the Netherlands, so he also made a lot of money, and The wife gave birth to four children, and the tragedy began. The four children died three times. The wife died in the night when the night patrol came out. Since then, life has plummeted, and later with the maid. The child was condemned by the feudal thoughts of the time into a sinful life. No one came to ask him to paint. He was notorious. His wealth was slowly squandered and he eventually died of poverty National Museum. There are exhibition halls that preserve works of art from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Traditional handicrafts such as ceramics, glass art and silverware are quite impressive.
