The
neighboring Downtown area
|
|
 Just
about 150 meters away is the Váci utca Street
situated (picture left), the famous downtown pedestrian walkway of
the Hungarian
Capital with its  numerous
cafes, shops and restaurants with
Hungarian and International cuisine. A
stone's throw away is the
Art-Cafe, which in contrast is a newly fashionable cafe, opened after
Hungarys systemic changes in the 1990es.
The
Vörösmarty tér Square
(picture right) is located at the
northern end of the pedestrian walkway Váci utca Street.
|
|
  At Vörösmarty
tér Square
you will find a lot of
fashion shops and most of all two of Budapests fashionable cafes. The
first is the Gerbeaud in its
own elegant building, where
famous Hungarian poets and writers would gather to sip coffee, discuss
politics and culture.
|
|
This
apartment is situated only 500 meters away from the largest church of
the hungarian capital,
the catholic Saint
Stephen´s Basilica (picture right), consecrated
in
1905. The Sacred Right Arm of the first king of Hungary, Saint Stephen,
is kept in the Saint Lipot Chapel, and is traditionally carried on the
20th of August around the neighbouring streets at the head of a large
procession.
|
|
  The
famous Hot Spa
"Gellért"
(picture right) is situated only 3 tramway stops away in Buda and may
be reached by the lines 47 and 49 from Astoria Station, about 100
meters away from this apartment.
The Big Synagogue
(picture left) in the Center
of Budapest with 3.000 sitting places is located about 300 meters away
from this apartment. This is the largest synagogue in
Europe and after New York the second largest in the world. The Jewish
Museum, Holocaust Museum, Thora
and Talmud School are located in the vicinity. Of course
there are a lot of jewish restaurants and shops in the neighboring
area. Most of them are located around the "Klauzál
tér" Square, only a
short walk away from this apartment.
|
|
 The hot spa "Rudas" (picture
left) is
situated on the other side of the river
Danube in Buda. It may be reached by walking over the beautiful
Elisabeth bridge or making two short bus stops to get there. In this
building complex there is a
swimming pool, a turkish kind of hot spa - well known in the
homo society - and a
medical center.
 The hot spa "Széchenyi"
(picture right) is probably the most popular hot
spa in the hungarian capital and also highly frequented by foreign
tourists. It may be reached by the old yellow millenium metro, the line
N° 1 - get in at "Deák tér" Place (last
station) and get out at the station, called
"Széchenyifürdő", how hngarians call this popular
wellness spa.
In
these hot
spas you can participate on medical threatements, specially against
rheumatism and motoric illnesses. Both spas operate a drink hall, where
you may cure some more health throbles by diferent spa waters, mostly

Sight
seeing tour
in Budapest - commercial or alternative
|
You can get an up to 4 hours long guided Sight
seeing tour by bus
at "Deák
tér" Square. Here is the central metro station, where
Budapests
all three metro lines cross each other. The buses shuttle between
Heroe´s Square (left pic) and Royal Castle
(next pic), just about always getting stucked in a bumper-to-bumper
traffic jam in the "Andrássy
út "
boulevard. Even if nobody
ever tells you, it is a nice revenue stream factor for the bus
drivers and guides too.
|
 Alternative
Sight Seeing -
Shuttle along the eastern Danube riverside in Pest
by streetcar N° 2. - For the
first time it will give you a general view of Budapest and also some
ideas for your favorite visiting worth objects.
Our tip is a non commercial alternative sight
seeing tour for better sunny days, like every sight seing tour. Up
to your activity, it may take at least two hours up to a
half day.
Fot
this tour you should buy enough tickets for the street car.
You´ll come
off best with a one days, three days or weekly ticket for tourists. You
also better prepare yourself for this tour by collecting some brochures
about Budapest, probably on your arrival at the airport. So you
do´nt
need a guide and you are independent to visit the places, you are
interesting for. To make this tour, it´s up to our guests in
this
holiday apartment, to take the street car at the Elisabeth or
Chain
bridge.
First
your way to the South:
On
the right side of the street car, this yourney will give you a
beautiful panoramic view over the river Danube up to the Royal Castle
Hill with Fisherman´s bastillon, Matthews church and of
course to the
Royal Castle too. After a bit lower ridge you´ll see the
Mount Gellert
with the freedom monument on its peak. Now you may get out the street
car at the "Freedom" bridge or go farther, if you are interesting for
modern architecture or you just want to buy your ticket to a
cultural
performance. In last case you get out the street car at
"Lágymányosi
híd" bridge. Here you see the new cultural center of
Budapest with the
national theatre and philharmonic hall - both of them in a new stylish
modern architecture building, right on the riverside.
Your
way back to the North:
 You
get out at "Freedom" bridge, just opposit to the Mount
Gellert. -
Untill 1948, when sowjet dictatorship really begun to
work, the
"Freedom" bridge was called Franc
Joseph Bridge,
because it was a present of the imperator and Hungarian King Franz
Joseph to his wife Elisabeth, the so called Sissi. She really was
called Lissy by her housband, from the lisping Habsburg family. -
The best time to arrive here is before noon, because the crowd
is´nt
that much, like getting later. The Big Market Hall of Budapeste (right
pic) is one of Budapests touristical
attractions. You should use the time for your grocery shopping
by being here.
Upstairs there is a restaurant, where you may sit down. What you get
there, that is about the same, you may eat in any Hungarian restaurant
in your home country, if there is one in your neighboring area. You may
manage your time better at one of the sandwich bars in this
market
hall. They offer smaller snacks and you can taste really Hungarian
specialities, you wo´nt ever find in Hungarian restaurantsat
in your
home country. After the meal and refreshment we leave the market hall
and continue our trip to the North by the same street car line.
|
|
Now we
make the drive to the North and see again the
river Danube on the left side. We
go untill the last station at Margareth bridge. 1
or 2 stations before
this bridge, the street car goes around the parliament
building, which
is an object of architectural interest. The parliament at
Kossuth Lajos tér Square is 96
m high, exactly as high, as the St. Stephans basilica is, but
you wo´nt see the basilica on this trip.
At last station you take the
reversed drive and
now you may see the parliament again, architectural freaks
can´t see it
often enough. By leaving the parliament, we have this
beutiful
panoramic view over the river Danube up to the Royal Castle Hill, to
grave it in your mind for long.
Now
it´s up to you, how often you make this trip, just to enjoy
the
panoramic view, buying a ticket to a concert or just to make your usual
grocery shopping.
