Foods You Gotta Try When Visiting Budapest

Jetsettimes.com

When I travel one of my favorite things to do is experience the local cuisine, which is what I’m most looking forward to on our trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest.

I’ve been doing lots of research about the traditional foods of these countries and I can’t wait to start eating my way across each country.

These are some of my “must try” foods I hope to experience when we travel through Budapest.   They are taken from an article called “25 Foods You Gotta Try in Budapest’ written by Wendy Hung for Jetsettimes.com.

The full trip brochure is available online here: http://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/wnmu/files/imperial_cities_brochure.pdf
