So glad you liked it! The architecture there blows my mind. So amazing. The Reok Palace was my favourite too. We were there just after Christmas where we had a heavy downfall of snow and then clear sunny skies. It was incredibly beautiful. If you don’t mind me sharing, I wrote about it here: http://www.rearviewmirror.tv/szeged-hungary/

We really did love it. Snow and sun – what a lovely combination! And no, I don’t mind your sharing. I’ll add the link to the post.
I think most Hungarians don’t tip much, max 10% in restaurants or they just round up the bill. Leave a few coins in a cafe. Similar to France I guess. Do check that service isn’t included as sometimes the sneak that into the bill.

Thanks Andrea. That’s what we’ve been doing. In fact, the restaurant in Szeged included it in the bill but the waiter was so helpful translating the business menu that we left a little extra anyway.
Except, possibly for Hungary – we’ll wait and see – your interesting travels confirm pretty much that Eastern Europe need not be on the list of missed places

I would put Plovdiv in Bulgaria which we went to on a previous occasion on the list of places not to be missed as well as Lubljana in Slovenia. And I definitely want to go back to Romania and discover more. We also enjoyed Budapest and Santender two years ago. I have to say that Serbia is a big disappointment though.
