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.

Café Gerbeaud 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.

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.

This apartment is situated only 500 meters away from the largest church of the hungarian capital, the catholic Saint Stephens 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.

Rudas Hot Spa The hot spa "Rudas" (picture left) is situated on the other side of the river Danube in Buda.

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:
Große Markthalle von Budapest

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.

Parliament
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.
