    I went for the Christmas markets and I completely agree, it's a great place.

    I've been to Budapest, I stayed on the river in the "Boatel". Another great place and as it was years ago it was also cheap as chips.

    One of the most amazing places I've ever been. The architecture is to die for.

    Can we discuss the delights of Amsterdam rather than Budapest in the Walsall match thread please?

    I’ve never been to Budapest.

    I was there just before Christmas, the wife likes the Christmas markets, I like the arcitecture, the perfect storm.

    May I also recommend Vienna ?

    Out of those two cities, I agree. I've often thought that if there has to be death, then there should also be reincarnation, as a Viennese. I did enjoy the one underground line in Budapest though, where the trains run on tracks (like tanks) rather than wheels. The sound an approaching train makes is rather different!

    But if we're talking Eastern Europe, then it will probably be no surprise to anyone that I strongly recommend Tallinn. The mediaeval architecture is amazing, and original; the museums and galleries excellent.

    And if one is already in the neighbourhood, then why not catch a ferry for a day trip to Helsinki as well.

    Some amazing places to visit around Eastern Europe, I've been to quite a few. Just something about their cities that the UK doesn't have.
