Program 346: Walking Budapest; Open Phones: Iran & Palestine

Guides to Budapest tell us about their favorite places. Learn why each side of the Danube feels like a different city and where you can find everything from Habsburg-era elegance, to the latest trend for enjoying a late night drink and conversation. Plus, listeners tell Rick about their recent forays into Iran and Palestine where American tourists are uncommon, but not unwelcome.
