Monday mornings always have me running a little slower, taking a little extra time getting out of bed, and usually require just that much more morning caffeine than usual.
For a little Monday morning inspiration, I thought that I would share a few images of a cityscape that I love.
I visited Budapest a few years ago and was amazed by how beautiful it was. I really didn't know what to expect from a city that had within my lifetime become separated from the Eastern Bloc, but I was met with such warm people, gorgeous landscape, and beautiful architecture.
The city is bisected by the River Danube. The hilly side of the river is called Buda, and the flat land on the other side of the Danube is called Pest - coming together to form Budapest. There are currently ten bridges that link Buda and Pest, and they are all lit up beautifully at night. When I visited with my family, we took an evening dinner cruise on the river, and got to see all of the fantastic buildings light up as the sun went down that night.

One of the great cities of Europe that I haven't been to yet but would love to visit is Prague. Have any of you ever been? I've heard such wonderful things, and I can't wait to make it part of my next European vacation.
Some shots of Prague that I found:

What have been your favorite vacation spots thus far? Are there any amazing cities that you've been to that I should know about?? Please share!

I have always heard amazing things about Budapest, but have never been!
PS - I live in Noho
Both Budapest and Praque are on my list! Need to see and experience both. Thanks for sharing these pictures girl. Love them all. :)
We almost went there when we were flying to Prague. We decided on Prague instead and 666 is a LUCKY NUMBER!
I meant, we decided on Prague and Vienna instead. Sorry. Not thinking today.
I love both cities! I was surprised with all that Budapest had to offer...it is a beautiful city! Prague was great, too!
What a wonderful experience to see Budapest! I would have to say some of my favorite vacation spots have been Hawaii and Paris.
Paris had some amazing things to see, but it was the desserts and food that were truly works of art--I'm not kidding! And Hawaii--it's so difficult to choose just one location--but watching the erupting volcano lava flowing through the rain forest to drop into the ocean below was a memorable sight!
Magnificent pictures, I love Japan, I had so much fun when I went there last summer, great blog, and thanks for your sweet comment, I'll be following you via bloglovin from now on, have a fabulous day, xoxo
oooh o many many places to share with you!!! er.. Prague to lovely, just don't go anytime when it's wedding season as all the UK folks go there for Stag Do's! but it is so beautiful!
Hong Kong - my motherland is awesome too (summer is way hot like Singapore), love Italy - florence, Rome, Venice...Paris is fabulous to say the least!
Of course I have to say Athens!!! But come when it's not el scorchio like right now! The islands are the most fab gems in summer though!
