I recommend the Dreher Brewery in Budapest, Hungary.

Dreher is a crisp continental lager, similar to Pilsner Urquell, but not quite as sweet. In addition to the flagship label, they also brew several other Hungarian dark beers and lagers.

The brewery gives tours in English, and the tour includes an interesting history of beer making - in general and in Hungary.

It is a modern brewery and has won awards for its environmentalism. At the end of the tour you're invited into the brewery pub and, at least when I visited, there was no 'one pint' rule. They offered several pints of different types of beer, and even offered a few suggestions for mixing types.

It was a great experience.

Some taxis will rip you off, but there are simple ways to avoid this:

- never take a taxi that is unmarked (except for the light on top), including the white taxis lined up at the airport; these are mafia run and will rip you off

- taxis are always cheaper if you call in advance - get some numbers from your hotel/hostel, or have the bar call for you

- some reputable companies: BudaTaxi; 6x6 Taxi; Taxi 4; RadioTaxi. There are others, but in six years I've never gone wrong with these

- it's a good idea to keep a card with your address written down on it
