A-Mazing Tunnels Under Castle Hill |
Uri utca, 9 District I Budapest 1014 Hungary +36 1 489 3281 http://www.labirintus.com/ |
This maze of tunnels (which literally goes on for miles) is located beneath Castle Hill. It contains huge, cavernous rooms, originally intended as cellars and bomb shelters. Some of the tunnels can be explored without a guide. One section even features reproductions of cave paintings from around Europe. There is also a café (a cup of tea is included in the ticket price) and an underground shop. Another great thing about these tunnels is that when it is scorching hot outside, it remains cool and airy down below. A flashlight (torch) might be advisable, as several sections of the maze are almost pitch black. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located in City Park |
Varosliget, Allatkerti korut 6-12 District XIV Budapest 1146 Hungary +36 1 273 4900 http://www.zoobudapest.com |
This zoo could do with more funds but it is slowly being done up. The main entrance is located right next to the famous Gundel restaurant, and a nice combination is to stop in there for a coffee before or after your visit. The zoo is just one part of this very entertaining part of the city. Within a few hundred meters you will also find Heroes' Square, two excellent museums, a huge park, an amusement park, thermal baths and more. The entrance is a delightful art-deco whimsy. There are elephants, giraffes, monkeys, rhinos and of course, ice cream stands. Check website for further details including admission prices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful views over the river |
Castle Hill (District I) Budapest 1014 Hungary |
After you've seen the Royal Palace, take a stroll northwards. The medieval street network remains unaltered and although most of the buildings have been thoroughly restored (the war damage was severe) many retain their original features. You will be able to see the remains of the Dominican monastery; note the Plague monument outside Matyas Church; walk along the castle walls on the Buda side and see the Turkish tombstones at the north-western corner. There are many places to eat out here, but you should expect to pay tourist prices. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ruins of thirteenth-century church |
Castle District Budapest 1014 Hungary |
The reconstructed Baroque tower that is visible now is pretty much all that is left of this church. There has been a church here since the mid-thirteenth century. As usual, it became a mosque during the Turkish occupation and it was badly damaged during the Liberation in 1686 and the Second World War. The garden features a reconstructed Gothic window.

Lungs of the city |
Hosok tere District XIV Budapest 1146 Hungary +36 1 322 4098 (Tourist Information) |
The park is dominated by the Vajdahunyad Castle - originally built for the 1896 millennium celebrations - which represents every style of Hungarian architecture. In summer, there is a lake for boating, which in winter is turned into a huge and very popular skating rink. It also houses the Museum of Agriculture and a statue of George Washington. This was erected to thank America for taking in so many Hungarian immigrants in the early twentieth century. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful views of the Danube |
Marcius 15 ter-Roosevelt ter District V Budapest 1052 Hungary |
This pleasant elevated walkway is much less crowded than Vaci utca and has magnificent views across the Danube to the Buda side. You will pass several of the city's finest hotels - all of which are equipped with spacious, sun-drenched terraces - as well as many private restaurants and cafés. You will also see the famous, ever-popular Budapest wooden chairs and benches - if you have a good look around you'll eventually find a free one. The No 2 tram runs between the korzo and the river and down below is a road where cars rush by out of sight. If you continue walking to the northern end of the korzo, you'll reach the Chain Bridge.

Dedicated to victims of 1956 |
Parliament, Kossuth ter Budapest 1055 Hungary +36 1 322 4098 / +36 1 488 0475 (Tourism Ministry) |
In an enormously symbolic act, an eternal flame was unveiled and lit in front of the Parliament building in 1996. It marked the fortieth anniversary of the crushed 1956 uprising, an event that, along with the Trianon treaty, is one of the largest causes of anger and sorrow for the Hungarian people. Not far away is the statue of Imre Nagy, the executed Prime Minister, who could perhaps be said to be gazing at the flickering fire. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bring a camera for the stunning views |
Castle District District I Budapest 1014 Hungary |
No one seems to know why this is so named - it has certainly never been called on to defend anything. The stories say that in the old days this was where the fishermen defended Castle Hill from. It stands behind Matyas Church, overlooking the river and was built around 1900 by the same person who was responsible for the reconstruction of the church. There is a small fee to pay to climb up it, but it is worth it for the views. It makes for some of the finest photo opportunities in all of Budapest. You can walk down the hill through the park from here, which is worth doing as it means you will arrive at the small flat area immediately above the entrance to the tunnel before continuing your descent.

Ancient church where Liszt played |
Ferenciek tere, 9 District V Budapest 1053 Hungary +36 1 322 4098 / +36 1 488 0475 (Tourism Ministry) |
This church is famous for several reasons. It is very old (or at least the original, built in circa 1255, is old) and it has changed hands several times. The Turks set it ablaze in 1526 but the Franciscans tirelessly rebuilt it. This was convenient for the Turks, who decided not to burn it a second time, but instead took it over and used it as a mosque. The present design emerged in 1743, when the interior was being revamped (like so much in the city) for the millennial celebrations of 1896. Franz Liszt played concerts here and one of the pews is said to be the one he habitually chose to occupy. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dedicated to a Hungarian hero |
Gellerthegy (District XI) Budapest 1118 Hungary +36 1 322 4098 / +36 1488 0475(Tourism Ministry) |
If you walk down the hill from the Citadella towards Erzsebet (Elizabeth) Bridge you will come across this statue of St. Gellert, an eleventh-century martyr. It is located in a pleasant spot with an artificial waterfall. The monument stands some ten meters high and was built in 1904. The surrounding area is an ideal place to sit for a while and enjoy the view. Pack a picnic lunch, stroll, and/or just relax into history. 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 |

Hungarian war memorial |
Top of Andrassy ut (District VI) Budapest 1062 Hungary |
This imposing square was built for the 1896 millennium celebrations. It is dominated by the Archangel Gabriel who is surrounded by seven statues representing the chiefs of the seven Magyar tribes who settled in this area (supposedly in AD 896). The large open space is dedicated to the Hungarian war memorial and attracts tourists, skateboarders and inline skaters in their dozens. Check out the recently restored art museums on either side of the square. Review © 2007, Wcities |

History of the nation |
Muzeum korut, 14-16 (District VIII) Budapest 1088 Hungary +36 1 338 2122 http://www.museum.hu |
This museum's architecture alone warrants a stop, but it also played a major role in Hungary's history: Petofi recited his famous 'national song' from the steps here in 1848; there is a plaque to commemorate this famous event. The inside of the museum is also stunning, with lavish use of marble and ceremonial architecture. The displays give a thorough account of the history of the Hungarian nation. Admission is HUF400, making this one of the most expensive museums in the city, but it's well worth it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Peaceful spot for relaxation |
Margitsziget Budapest 1138 Hungary |
Despite its central location, Margaret Island is extremely peaceful. In summer, it is popular with the locals who come here to relax. Rent a bicycle, jog, swim in one of two pools, throw a Frisbee or just stroll around. This was originally a religious centre. The ruins of St Margaret's Dominican nunnery are on the east side near the ruins of a Franciscan church. The water tower is a listed building. A very fine lunch can be had in the Ramada Grand Hotel at the north-east end of the island. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wonderful collection in stunning building |
Dózsa György út 41 Budapest 1146 Hungary +36 1 469 7100 http://www.museum.hu/search/mu... |
This spectacular and renovated building houses a museum that's massive in scale (slightly intimidating in fact), with a wide range of exhibits. It's noted for its Spanish collection, most of which comes from the famous Count Esterhazy who picked up the pieces at bargain prices. Everything from El Greco to Goya is here. There is also an interesting display of Roman vases and artifacts (lots of huge toga-holding safety pins) as well as many other works. Admission: free Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful neo-Renaissance building |
Andrassy ut, 22 Budapest 1061 Hungary +36 (0)1 353 0170 http://www.opera.hu/ |
Famous Hungarian architect Miklos Ybl completed this building in 1884. Its style is very neo-Renaissance with a wildly exotic interior featuring cherubs, marble, gilt and frescoes. A 45-minute tour of the building in most major languages can be arranged for HUF900. These tend to start at 3pm or 4pm; go to the door on the right of the building, beside the sphinx. Tickets to see the opera here are extremely inexpensive. Thália Theater Review © 2007, Wcities |

Houses a holy relic |
St. Istvan ter District V Budapest 1051 Hungary +36 1 317 2859 |
This church is said to be second in size only to St. Peter's in Rome and can allegedly hold 7,000 people. It was completed in 1905 and has been undergoing cleaning and restoration work for the last eight years. It contains the mummified hand of St. Stephen himself, which is paraded around the city on his name day. The cathedral has a height of 96 metres - exactly the same as the Parliament building. For HUF 400, you can visit the viewing platform above the cupola from where, needless to say, you will be able to enjoy splendid views. The platform is open from 9:30am to 6pm, until 31st October.

Communist-era statues |
Bathori utca, 22 Budapest 1054 Hungary +36 1 424 7500 http://www.szoborpark.hu |
After the fall of Communism in Hungary, most of the statues from this era were shipped to this park on the outskirts of the city. When you buy your ticket, be sure to also purchase the very well-researched and extremely informative guide-book. Without it the meaning and history of the statues will be lost to you. How to get here: get to Etele ter by bus number 7. Then take one of the frequent, out-of-town yellow Volan buses. The one you want is at platform number 2, direction Diosd. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful town near Budapest |
20 kilometers from Budapest Budapest Hungary +36 1 322 4098 (Tourism Ministry) http://www.szentendre.hu/ |
One of the most beautiful towns on the Danube, Szentendre sits at the edge of the famous Danube bend. The town existed in Roman times (known as the 'Wolf Camp'), but there were also other influences: it was resettled after Turkish occupation by Serbs, Greeks, Dalmatians, Germans and of course Hungarians. You can get here by car (Highway 11, 20 kilometres, 35 minutes), by boat (one and a half hours and by far the most scenic option) or by HEV train (30 minutes). Review © 2007, Wcities |
