CNN is being amazing and so supportive about Hungary as Budapest is featured among their recommendations quite often. They made a list of 9 hidden places worth discovering. Most of them are admission-free, however we recommend buying a ticket to the Museum of Applied Arts and Miksa Róth Memorial House as you will be mesmerised by the amazing architecture.
