Hungarian influences in cuisine really stood out, loved the local markets. Some historic spots were pretty crowded, so plan early visits to avoid rush.

Feeling safe walking around day or night. The town’s vibe is mellow, not much nightlife but perfect for relaxing. Budget was lower than I expected, good value overall.

Weather was unpredictable but ended up sunny most days. Food was hearty though a bit heavy after a while. Three days felt just right for exploring comfortably.

For a cheap meal, avoid places around the castle. Walk a block down and find spots where locals grab lunch for half the price.
