Highlights from a quick trip to Budapest. Now that I officially have my UK residence card I can leave and enter the country without any hassle. Let the travels begin!

Budapest has the second oldest underground metro in the world (after London's Underground)

On the Metro. I found it striking that the handles were made of leather.
