If you haven't been in Budapest, be sure to visit this beautiful city. Budapest is the capital of Hungary deserves a visit, if only for its mineral springs and magical atmosphere.
Hotels in the Hungarian capital budget, the cost of a double room starts from 30 euros per day. Standard breakfasts are usually very rich and varied, so other things equal, it is better to prefer a hotel with included morning meal.
Budapest is a very young city: from the moment standing on opposite banks of the Danube, Buda, pest and óbuda were United, it's only 137 years. However, to date combined age of all towns was very respectable and exceeded 800 years.
Perhaps, to start learning Hungarian capital is better with the castle quarter, a leisurely walk will take you to a couple of centuries ago, during the warlike kings and beautiful ladies.
For romantic natures prefer first to walk on the legendary Chain bridge, and then climb the hill on the funicular. It is said that those who go across the bridge twice, you'll be happy for at least a year. But keep in mind that straddles the Danube handsome, the entrance to which is guarded by a huge lions, able to perform only the intangible desire.
You can just walk around the block, to admire the bas-reliefs of the Sandor Palace, now the official residence of the President, statues of kings and generals. Through lush Ornamental gate Hungary, picturesque fountains, decorated with antique sculptures. Then go to the Royal Palace, which is considered one of the main attractions of the city and which can be seen from virtually anywhere in the Hungarian capital. Built in the XIV century, 700 years he was the current residence of the local kings and was repeatedly rebuilt, becoming, in the end, the castle in Baroque style. The ruins in front of the Palace date back to the times of the Turkish rule, when there were walls. In the Palace is the national gallery, the Museum of modern art and the Museum of the history of Budapest.
From the Palace on the street of Tarnok you can walk to the Holy Trinity square, in the centre of which rises a very beautiful "plague column" erected in memory of the victims of the epidemic of 1713. On the way to the square, building No. 18, you can look into the pharmacy Museum located in the pharmacy building existed here since the seventeenth century. Close to the "plague column" is the Cathedral Matiyasha. His unusual appearance, he has acquired through many reconstructions. Built originally as a Church in honour of the mother of God, later dedicated to St. Matthew, and during the Turkish invasion and is converted to a mosque. When the Turkish yoke was dropped again the Church was converted into a Catholic Church, where now, thanks to the good acoustics, often concerts of organ and symphonic music.
From the Church is very close to Fisherman's Bastion - picturesque, bright building with numerous turrets and transitions. It was built a hundred years ago to the Millennium of Hungary as a decoration of the fortification wall from the side of the Danube. Defensive Fisherman's Bastion, never was, and it got its name because of the established in the middle ages the fish market. From the observation deck of the Bastion offers a great view of the Danube and the Parliament, but because there is always a lot of tourists with cameras.
Next go to the street URY, walk around which is not only because of the beauty standing on her houses, but also because it is here, at No. 9, is the entrance to the labyrinth of the castle hill of Buda. To get lost in it, fortunately, is impossible, because on the walls hung everywhere card "area". And don't forget to bring an empty bottle or at least a glass: somewhere in the underground corridors is the fountain from which instead of drinking water beats red wine.
Descending the hill to the waterfront, walk from the Chain bridge to the bridge of Freedom. Or, if your feet get tired, hop on a river bus and take a trip, admiring the city from the water. A variety of boats parked along the waterfront lot, some of them offer and dinner on Board is important to clarify where they are you will eventually take.
However, walking tour will give an opportunity to take a closer look at the delicate, skyrocketing Parliament building, the Palace gresh answered questions from Euronews, where now is located the Four Seasons hotel, to see behind the building of the Palace of Vidago and be photographed next to the sculpture, sitting on the railing tram stop is a girl in a funny hat. Turned the building of the Palace, you can get to the old shopping street, Vaci utca, where shopping fashion brands in the world. The street starts at the favorite recreational area for local residents, Vorosmarty square, and ends with a square Fevm, which is the Central market, which is certainly worth a look, because here you can buy not only meat, vegetables and fruits, but also a great local wine and Souvenirs. On the same square square look in the white mansion Swiss confectionery Emile Garbo, which is here since 1884. Preserved since the interior is so beautiful that during the Second World war, the interior of confectionery evacuated as of historical value. Here you can enjoy a Cup of coffee and sample "Russian cake, whose recipe has remained unchanged since the nineteenth century.
Visiting famous for its thermal springs, the town and not to plunge in at least one of the local baths would be wrong. So the next morning it is better to get up early and go, for example, to Gellert hill, where the most luxurious Turkish bath "Rudas", or nearby in the same hotel pool, "Gellert", which sailed Romans. In the shady same Park Varosliget is not less popular "széchenyi". In any case, to go to all these places better early in the morning, because after 12 days the baths lifted many tourists and inside becomes quite noisy.
Depending on what kind of pool you choose, your route may lie either on the beloved Hungarians of Varosliget city Park, or on Gellert hill. In the Park are the zoo and the Museum of transport, and on one of the many lakes Park perched Vajdahunyad castle. Those who at heart is still a child, to look at the transport Museum is a must. Many existing models of Railways will briefly return to childhood and will bring a lot of fun. If time permits, the zoo is also worth a look, because the animals there are in the most natural conditions and wander through its shady paths, periodically feeding themselves with food and drinks, very nice.
To get to the Gellert hill you climbed the steps, beginning at the waterfalls near the erzsébet bridge. At the top of the hill is the citadel, with walls which offers perhaps the best view of the city. In the building of the Fort now houses a small Museum describing the storming of Budapest. On the top of a hill in 1947 was established 40-meter stele of Liberty, dedicated to the liberation of the city by Soviet troops.
At parting, in the evening, be sure to explore any of the Danube embankments, just to admire the magnificent lights of the city. Take a picture of the sinking in the lights of the Parliament building, towering over the city, the Royal Palace and, of course, the shimmering lights of the bridges, so that later, showing pictures to friends, to once again feel blowing from the river breeze and once again feel the smell coming from small cafes that serve amazing coffee.
Budapest is really very beautiful and interesting city if you have not been there yet, be sure to visit.
