About
my Story
Hi, I’m Gabriella, born and raised in Budapest, and still not over the view from Gellért Hill.
I created SimplyBudapest to share the real, lived-in side of the city, beyond guidebooks and tourist traps. As a local, I’ve spent years discovering not just the landmarks, but the places locals actually love: thermal baths you’ll want to spend hours in, ruin bars that still surprise you, cafés tucked into courtyards, and sunsets that make you stop mid-sentence.
Whether you’re here for 48 hours or falling into a slow travel rhythm, this blog gives you practical tips, local favorites, honest advice, and lots of inspiration to make your trip unforgettable, all from someone who calls this city home.
No sponsored fluff, no generic lists, just Budapest, the way we live it.
Thanks for being here. Now let’s explore. 💛
