Congress Park Flamenco Budapest

... hostel had recommended for a good, cheep Hungarian meal. He was right on both accounts! Then it was time for an early night.<br><br>Monday morning we were up bright and early and out the door by 7:30 to get to the main market hall, via the walking street of Vaci Utca, which has hundreds of stores selling anything you might want from Budapest (clothes, paprika, glass, crystal, I-heart Budapest shirts). The main market was impressive and HUGE. Lots of food ...

... beautiful back in the day. I had to take a picture of the garbage mounds though, but felt it would be a little insensitive to take a picture of the people "shopping" in it! <br><br>I walked up Gellert Hill which was worth it for the views of the city. Not much to see up there but the views, but the hike up was nice especially to burn off the Langos that I am addicted to. I walked over to Castle Hill and enjoyed more views. Walked back over the to the Pest side and had dinner at ...

... the police were directing us was down the back streets, zigzagging our way back, therefore taking much longer. There was mass confusion and no police officers would tell us what was going on. I missed the start of my tour meeting because of this..so annoying. Went out for Chinese with our tour group because the Hungarian restaurant we had booked was closed as they were afraid of being firebombed...scary!!!

... day alternating between hot water, sauna, really cold water, etc. Overdid it a little bit but I needed it. I loved Budapest and glad I added it back to the list. FYI: Stay away from expensive restaurants on Vaci Street Menza is awesome for dinner/lunch (everything is great) Central Kahauz is great for breakfast Confusing currency 20000FT = $100 Nice restaurants/area near Opera House in Pest

... worth a visit. Definately also walk up to Heroes Square for a look at the grand statues. We also spent an afternoon relaxing in a park on Margaret Island in the Danube. Due to the heat, we spent a very relaxing afternoon in the Szechenyi Thermal Baths - Visiting at least one of these is a must when in Budapest! I enjoyed the trip, but I would have more so if it wasn't so swelteringly hot!

... nevoa e chuva fina. Liguei novamente e ela veio ao meu encontro. Realmente o mal entendido foi meu, principalmente com os nomes nada simples das estações. A lingua Hungara provem das linguas eslavicas e o mais parecido que pode-se encontrar é algo como a lingua finlandesa. Interessante pela distancia geografica entre os dois países. Continuando... Fui recepcionado com abraços e doces hungaros :) Entrei no metro sem pagar (como na maioria das ...

So I get ont aeroplane bound for Budapest, Hungary, with basically no idea about the place. I am soon to realise I am in Eastern Europe though because as we go to land, the weather is so bad, we have to circle for a while. After about an hour of circling we had to make a detour to friggin Vienna, Austria. I was thinking of getting out there as it made no difference to me where I went, but it seemed that was not allowed. Anyway, six hours latter (it should have been 1 and a half ...

... Pest side over the 'Chain Bridge', guarded by two lions and built in 1849. Now time for some lunch, albeit a bit late as it was now getting onto 4:00pm - found a nice little restaurant and settled in for some local fayre. After lunch we headed to 'Varosliget' (City Park) containing 1 sqKm of lawns, Thermal baths and a huge outdoor ice skating rink. On the way stopping into the 'House of Terror' (former Nazi and Soviet Police Headquarters - now a museum). Then headed back to our ...
