Where you go should depend on several factors. Do you or your sister speak Hungarian? I have been to Budapest twice, and while speaking only English in Budapest is not a problem, sometimes it is more difficult in smaller cities to get by with English only. Traveling in Germany and not speaking German is rarely a problem. If I really wanted to go somewhere and didn't speak the language, I would still go. I just think that Germany would be an easier trip.
While I haven't spent much time in the Bremen area, I have spent a lot of time in Hamburg. My son also lived in both Kiel and Flensburg; there is a lot to do in that not-very-touristy area of Germany. Budapest is also a wonderful city; it is probably my 87 year old mother's favorite European city. She keeps saying "I hate to think that I will never see Budapest again."
