Every place we ate, swam and loved across a month of living there, on one interactive map.
Most travel guides are a document you read once. This is the trip, laid out so you can actually use it while you are standing on the street.
Where we stayed, every restaurant and cafe, the baths and the ruin bars, with what a month there actually cost.
47 spots, colour coded, our notes and a photo on every one. Filter to just food, or just the baths.
Tell it how many days you have. It builds them in the order we would do them, with real walking times.
Drag it about, cross things out, add whatever is nearby. Every walking time updates as you go.
Budapest is two cities with a river down the middle, and nobody wants to work out what sits near what. Tell it whether you have a few days or a full week, and it groups the city by neighbourhood so you are never crossing the Danube twice in a morning, puts the stops in the order we would do them, and tells you how far apart they are.
Tell it whether you have a couple of days or a full week and your days appear, already grouped by neighbourhood, in the order we would do them ourselves. Every leg tells you how long it takes to get to the next place and whether the tram is worth it, so you are not standing on a corner with three tabs open trying to work out what is close.
MorningDeryne KenyerInsane croissants.Late morningFisherman's BastionGo at sunrise. We were up at half four, up there by
half five, and there was almost nobody else.Nothing in there is fixed. Cross out the thing you do not fancy, drag a stop up or down by the little grip, or send it into a different day if you would rather have a lie in. The dashed plus sits right on the gap between two stops, so if you want something in the middle of your afternoon you just tap the middle of your afternoon.
Every walking time recalculates the moment you change something, and so does the total for the day, which means the plan on your screen is always the plan you are actually doing.
Tap that plus and it only offers you things that are actually close to where you already are, closest first, with the real travel time from the stop above it. Filter it down to food, or drink, or somewhere for after dark, and every single option is still a place from our month there rather than whatever is paying to be top of a list.
One tap on share and the whole plan lands in Messages, WhatsApp or your Notes, your edits and all, with a map link on every stop. No app to download, no account to make, nothing for your friends to sign up for.
The named pins are a handful of the famous ones. Every grey dot is another place from our month there, and the full map has all 47, each with our notes, a photo, and a link to book it.
I've been travelling full time for the last 18 months, and every guide I make is a trip I actually took. Nothing in here is researched from a desk: if I name a restaurant, I sat in it, and if I link an apartment, I slept there. We had thirty three nights in Budapest, which is why this one has the gym and the groceries in it as well as the pretty bits!

Ellen xStraight away. You land on your own page with the guide, the interactive map, the Google Maps list and the map file, and the same link is emailed to you so you always have it.

No. The blog covers what a month cost us and where to eat. The guide is the actual trip: the exact stays, the tables we sat at, the prices we paid, the map and the itinerary builder.
That is exactly what the itinerary builder is for. We had thirty three days, so we know what we would keep if we only had three, and the short trip option cuts it down to that.
No account needed. It opens in your browser like any web page, on your phone or laptop.
We update it as things change and you get every update free, forever. The Gellert baths closing until 2028 is already in there.
We already did it. Get the guide, the map and the itinerary builder for less than two coffees on Andrassy.
