This is actually not off the beaten path, it's actually on one of the main landmarks, the Chain Bridge. On both ends of the bridge, there are two lions "in guard", and there is a legend about them not having tongue. Sorry to say that, but I just got to know, that they do have tongue, but it's just not visible from below. János Marchalkó who made the sculptures after hearing the people making fun of the tongue story jumped into the Danube according to another legend. I got to know all this from a report with the caretaker of the Bridge since decades, Mr János Fazekas, who lives in an appartment in the tunnel in fornt of the Bridge. If you go to the tunnel, you will see his front door on the right hand side, but please don't bother him, he has his hard duty by keeping this wonderful Bridge in good shape! :)

singlevivien25 Tue Jun 16, 2009 20:51 UTC The coolest music pub in eastern Europe If you are going to udapest ,and you are between the ages of 26-40, then the Old Man's Pub is the place to be. | betako3 Thu Apr 30, 2009 17:08 UTC Haha, we also have a Petofi square here in Tarnów, the birth place of gen. Bem. And I even lived in Petofi street for a few years, before they changed the name :( | MackieMesser Fri Jan 9, 2009 23:52 UTC In september i went in Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot is a pleasant interesting and only one place. I did my reserves by e-mail and when i there arrived i was received very well. The food and the service are excelent. Sir Lancelot is not a tourist trap. | Microcosm_of_time Mon Sep 22, 2008 06:47 UTC great tips! |
