Good to know about Budapest
Go early, especially to Gellért Hill, as the iconic almond tree often blooms as early as March and is a very popular, fleeting photo spot.
SourceFor the most serene cherry blossom experience at Tóth Árpád Promenade, go at sunrise on a weekday, as the "pink tunnel" gets crowded and the bloom is fleeting.
SourceAlthough the public transport system is extensive, single tickets are valid for a single, uninterrupted journey without transfer on most vehicles (except for metro where you can transfer between lines on a single trip), and you must always validate your ticket upon boarding or before the vehicle departs.
SourceExpect to travel 40-50km outside the city by train or car to find peak sunflower fields, mainly from June to early July, and aim for sunrise or sunset for photos.
SourceTap water is safe to drink, but be aware that locals sometimes find it tastes a bit chalky or chlorinated, leading many to prefer bottled water.
SourceWhile Tokaj is famous, the Etyek-Buda region, just 30 minutes from Budapest, is the capital's 'wine garden' with popular picnics, making the Hungarian harvest experience more accessible, not only in September-October, but also for early dry wine grapes in September.
