 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 |
 Famous baths and swimming pools |
Kelenhegyi ut, 4-6 District XI Budapest 1118 Hungary +36 1 466 6616 |
These famous baths are adjacent to the equally famous Hotel Gellert. The interior is an Art Deco masterpiece, and just about every type of bath - hot, cold, therapeutic, etc. - that you can think of is on available. Believe it or not, the wave pool opened in 1927, followed seven years later by the bubble pool. Bathing here has been compared to going swimming in a museum or a church. The newest and most exciting activities at the Gellert baths are the summer music parties, which are on Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hub of Buda |
Moricz Zsigmond korter District XI Budapest 1114 Hungary |
Moricz Zsigmond korter is one of two "downtown" centres in Buda. It is a major public transportation hub, and there have been longstanding plans to construct another metro line that will extend past the korter to the Kelenfold train station. The large circular structure that is the centrepiece of the korter is blatantly ugly and serves no purpose, save for the advertising window displays that ring it. The look of it does much to nullify the real beauty of most of the buildings that surround it. Abutting it on Villany but there are some examples of striving toward a Hungarian "national" style, with wooden gables at the rooftops of the apartment buildings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Where Raoul Wallenberg worked |
Minerva utca 1 District XI Budapest 1118 Hungary |
For those on the Raoul Wallenberg trail, the former Swedish embassy where he worked is a must see. It was from here that he issued his famous "Wallenberg passports" (which were officially safe-conduct passes) for Jews during the Second World War. The embassy has since relocated elsewhere but the old building is an important part of the city's history. Another monument dedicated to the man himself stands elsewhere in Budapest.
