Part of a trip in Hungary, I have spent a few days in Budapest this summer,...
What can I say? It is a really great city ;-) To keep it simple (but not very original) this is in fact an association of two different cities, Buda and Pest. ...and indeed I forgot a third one, Obuda!!
The impression I have is that Buda with its Castle district is the touristic place by excellence while Pest with most of the 19th century buildings could be considered as the "city" with the real life...

Some good tips here. PS: I have no idea where I'm from and the more I travel the less I know :)
tghanks for sharing co many nice photos and interesting tips from Hungary. Strangely, I have not been there. I plan to go and your information is helpful. greetings
superb page! I`m visiting Budapest in may for the first time and I have saved some of your tips in my research book. thanks for the great info...!
Thanks for your answer to my forum question. What a brilliant Budapest page have put lits into my travel pages. Thanks matey Julia
I have to agree with your assessment of the Hilton.... they couldn't tear it down fast enough in my opinion! It really is an eyesore in the area they built it!
great tips - already bookmarked them for our trip in October!
hello, on mediolations BP page the Castle was shot from Citadella:-) i have a similar photo on my BP page too:-)) cioa!
Jean-Francois, j'aime votre Buda-Pest VT page. Je dois encore commencer la mienne sur la Hongrie. Je viens souvent à Tournai...
On one of your pictures you can indeed see the green Liberty Bridge ("Szabadság híd" in Hungarian) as the note under the photo indicates. But the commet is about another bridge called Elizabeth Bridge ("Erzsébet híd"). Elizabeth Bridge is white.
Great pics and tips!!!
