For a sweeping view of #Budapest head to the Buda side of the Danube and take in the views from the 19th century ramparts on Gellért Hill. Just upriver is Budapest’s oldest area, The Castle District, home to Buda Castle, Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion.

Cross the Széchenyi Chain Bridge to the Pest side of the city. Visit Hungary’s Parliament Building. Pay your respects at the Shoes on the Danube Memorial, a sobering tribute to the thousands who were executed here during The Second World War.

Admire the magnificent dome of St. Stephen’s Basilica. This world heritage listed boulevard of Andrassy Avenue opens out onto Heroes’ Square and City Park. The park is home to the Széchenyi Thermal Baths, just one of the city’s many lavish bathhouses.

When you’re ready to experience moments of refection, inspiration, and sublime beauty, come to Budapest.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

    In 1873 Buda and Pest (and Óbuda) unified officially into Budapest.
    The (Chain/Széchenyi) bridge mentioned was finished in 1849,
    and it was only the first permant bridge, before that we had many seasonal bridges.
    And we have more than seven bridges.

    The majority of Budapest is still Christan and we don't call it "Jewish Quarter". More like "Party District", because it has a vivid night life.

    Magyar means Hungarian.

    We take a swim or bath or splash, but we don't "take water".

    I'm from Ireland and absolutely loved Budapest when we visited a few years ago it was stunning I stayed in the Carlton Hotel on the Buda side the only downside was the weather in February I would imagine that on a sunny July/August day the city is so spectacular looking forward to returning

    \\ Please don't panic by history video with pandemic-induced human atrocities & wars during which about 200 Million of 500 Million World Population died when THIS GLOBE was less connected than today. America was unknown. Tourism except by wars, was absent. \\ WHO warns today all 180 UN COUNTRIES: THIS PANDEMIC MAY STAY. Hoping for the best PREPARING FOR THE WORSE, I DARE CHARGING 180-UN-COUNTRIES-LEADERS, MEDIA TOO: – DROP ALL – BUT ENSURE ALL, EVEN IF THAT ENDS UP ONLY AS A GLOBAL SURVIVAL DRILL, THAT TOGETHER, WE CAN DO MORE THAN TRY various vaccines, masks, social distancing & lockdowns, by SPREADING more than 2 billion global RESIDENCES as far as 100 meter apart/1-floor, 2021-2022 home units. \\ HOW? /// UNUSED, OFTEN STATE-OWNED SIDE LANDS OF GLOBAL ROADS & HIGHWAYS is the first target on which such units may be spread because all people survival is at stake today. \\ SKEPTICS: ESSENTIALS CAN'T BE SO-PROVIDED //// (1) SERVICE ISLANDS ~30 km apart, operate with restaurants, gas stations w. added pharmacies, groceries. ~Same on 2-4 lanes-roads, some passing near/in grand beaches, deserts, dunes, canyons, mountains, lakes, forests, (2) Some can happily be served by local FARMERS, who win Climate Credit for OLD-TYPE HORSE-VANS SERVING FRESH MILK, BREAD, EGGS, FRUITS, VEGIES, etc. especially to residents who do not drive, (3) Cities, even partially abandoned, may still provide the rest [cf. earlier comments]. \\ EXAMPLE? //// Operators of 29 of 30 SARI-SARI small shops, on sides of 2-4 lanes in the Philippines, may be given FREE LAND TITLES with water/electricity/sewers links to such standard UNITS located on huge numbers of UNUSED ROAD-SIDEWAYS-LANDS.
