  • Favorite Thing: Nice and charm place ..we discover it on our first day walking in the morning and spend some time thanks the cahos in Marco Polo YH where we had to come back a few hours later once we get ready our "room"
    This is on the way to Vorosmarty Tér a beautiful huge place with a garden just in the middle and austrohungarians buildings surrounding it... cafes, and restaurants everywhere and pedestrian area that makes walk around easily

    Heroes Square (Hősök teré): Hossok Tere or Heroes square

  • Favorite Thing: I visit it on my second stage in BUDAPEST. It was a pouring day. the rain wasnt so hard to disturb my visit...The former kings and important tribal leaders of Hungary are over a huge and long pedestal in hardened beahviour..equestrian statues are the most beautiful and impressive.

    The monument was constructed to honour the millennial aniversary (1896)of the Magyar conquest of the Carpathian basin

    One of the most beautiful points is that the long Avenue that runs to the square (Andrassy Utza) ..its for me the most beautiful street in the city plenty of great buildings, theatres, museums , its quite alike to Passeig de Gracia avenue in Barcelona..really nice

    Budapest Bridges (hidek): Szecheny Lanchid at night

  • Favorite Thing: This city is fill by Danibe river that splits the city in two, but joining it at the same time. Danube as sea in some other cities gives an other dimension and become a more beautiful city and a breath in the middle of huge streets and squares..
    About 6 bridges cross the Danube the most famous it is (on this pic), but there are 2 more southern that deserve the visit, Erzs?bet and Szabads?g Hid (or bridge)

  • Favorite Thing: One of the three main train station..the other two are Keleti and Deli..
    Nyugati is located in the Pest area and from where run the train to Cluj Napoca, and all Romania crossing the border by Oradea.
    The ticket office is on the right hand,,there is a ticket office for local trains and other hall just for international tickets where you can pay with credit card
    Nyugati is located in the corner of Vaci Ut and Szent Istvan krt so close to Margit Island .. a beautiful and so huge garden in the midst of the river

  • Favorite Thing: Southwards from the most famous brige (Szechenyi) there is this dark green one who runs from Gellert area in Buda to central streets in Pest and further away to Rakozci and Keleti
    It was my fault i didnt see Gellert but i walk at night from Deli station to this bridge, where by the way if you need to take the bus is just after crossing to Pest almost under the bridge, so i saw some former buildings beneath wester side buda castle , a different point of usual view ..always from the river and Pest side!

     David, thanks for the excellent info on about everything to be seen in Budapest. I also enjoyed a visit, amazing how 2 people see a city differently. Maybe a youth view point as against an "old "person's interest.haha. Great to meet the locals.
