 Beautiful baroque church |
Batthyany ter District I Budapest 1011 Hungary +36 1 322 4098 / +36 1 488 0475(Tourism Ministry) |
This is believed by many to be Budapest's finest Baroque church. It graces Batthyany ter with its presence and is well worth a look inside, especially for those who feel they've seen every type of interior: this one, with its blue, gilded pulpit is strikingly original. Believe it or not, the church is the work of an unknown architect. Building work began on it in 1740 but it was only consecrated some 65 years later. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Evangelical, non-denominational worship |
Fehervari ut, 47 District XI Budapest 1114 Hungary +36 1 266 8143 |
The Danube International Church was started in 1995 by few families in Budapest. Their main desire was to start a church where their common desires and goals are met and where they could speak English. A non-denominational service is held here on Sunday mornings at 10:30am. There are plenty activities for children and teenagers at the church. The pastor Ronnie Collier Stevens presides over the service. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Stunning architecture |
Dohany utca, 2-8 (District VII) Budapest 1074 Hungary +36 1 342 1335 |
Second in size only to the one in New York, this amazing Byzantine-Moorish structure is situated on the edge of the Old Ghetto. Restored and re-inaugurated in the presence of famous Jews such as Yitzhak Rabin and Tony Curtis, this is the ideal place to begin visiting the historic Jewish area of Budapest. Enjoy the history and grandeur. Admission: HUF600. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Oldest building in Pest |
Marcius 15 ter Budapest 1056 Hungary +36 1 318 3108 |
The first version of this church (which is still in use) was built in the twelfth century. A fourteenth century replacement was turned into a mosque by the Turks (a prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca can still be seen near the altar). After a fire in 1723, it was partly rebuilt in the baroque style we see today. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Interesting area for a stroll |
from Dohany utca district VII Budapest 1074 Hungary |
This area of the city is largely uncluttered by tourists. The Great Synagogue (the starting point to touring the quarter) does get quite busy but once you venture beyond it into the crumbling back streets you may well find yourself completely alone. The area has a feeling of complete authenticity and in many sections virtually nothing has changed since the closing days of the Second World War. Here and there you will see closed and abandoned synagogues, while several streets still have operational Jewish grocers and religious supply shops. The Jewish community seems to be drifting back to this section of the city. To learn more about the tragic history of the area, stop in at the museum in the Great Synagogue. Admission: Adults HUF1400; Students HUF750. Review © 2007, Wcities |
