Hungary with Dóri

Melt-in-your-mouth, creamy and sweet, what is it?
Scottish fudge😋

• beloved treat since the 18th century
• ingredients:sugar, butter and condensed milk
• interesting: originally was made of only sugar and cream, but that was too easy to burn so the recipe changed over time

Do you have a favourite? Original, vanilla flavoured, whisky flavoured or with nuts??
Mine is with sea salt👌🏻

🎉 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 - 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲! 🦁💦

25 months of hard work, and we've done it! The legendary over 100-year-old bridge is reborn, just in time for the 150th birthday of Budapest! 🌉🎂

Some pillars got a makeover, and our fierce lion statues are looking better than ever with shiny new teeth! 😬

But, shhh... did you know the bridge holds fascinating secrets? We found a cannonball from Ottoman times and some ancient bridge pieces during our underwater adventure! 🏰💦

Commuting just got fun – cars are out, and we have everything else covered! 🛵🚲🛶 Oh, and let's not forget our hilarious Lego lion – a star during the restoration! 🦁😂
With teamwork, determination, and a touch of magic, we brought this beauty back to life! 🌟💪

Cheers to the Buda-side, Pest-side, and everything in between! Let's keep this bridge standing tall for another 150 years! 🥳✨

Finally the renovation works of the Chain Bridge of Budapest are finished and the inauguration is held on Friday!🎉

Come and join the picnic on the bridge this Friday to celebrate it together!😍🎉

Budapest portal Amikor annyian érzik cserbenhagyva magukat, akkor kötelességünk, hogy minden még megmaradt lehetőségünket arra használjuk, hogy segítsünk a budapestieknek.

Budapest was included in the selection of National Geographic as one of the 10 most walkable cities of Europe! 👣✨🏙🏛

The Danube Promenade was mentioned as a highlight. ✨

Some moments of the beautiful last weekend☺️
The weekend was very busy and most of my guests spent the whole weekend in Budapest, so we bumped into each other just randomly many times with some of them, while they visited places I recommended them previously, that really made my days.
