Hungary - An Underrated gem

My buddies and I were planning our first trip to Germany for Oktoberfest, but saw it was a lot cheaper to fly into Budapest and take a train to Munich than it was to fly right into Munich. We figured why not... we can check another country off the list but didn't have high expectations. However, we were all really pleasantly surprised with how cool of a city Budapest is. It was a great mix of modern and historical, with nature and city. Don't sleep on Budapest, for anyone wanting to experience Europe without going to the big three everyone goes to, Budapest is a great alternative.
