impressions of a trip: 8 days in Budapest.


As we all know that Budapest is an ancient city rich in history yet strong and palpable in those who are the remnants of a past intense. Unlike other cities as may be in the north-east such as Prague, but what we are facing here is a large city by wide streets and well livable, more sustainable because the center is completely pedestrian. There are many things to see, and live, from museums and national monuments: Can not start from the central “street fashion” [is called just like cartels' s indication XD ] Or Vaci utca , the long shopping street that connects Vamhaz Korut [tralaltro where the headquarters of the central covered market] Square Mihaly Vorosmarty , along which there are coffee and restoranti many shops and local handicrafts, souvenir and fashion shops like Zara, H & M, Promod, and more. Then other shops in the square, a shopping center and a bakery with tables at the historic 'open, in this period of' years fralaltro [from mid-March to mid April] in the entire city celebrates the Spring Festival, and is home to Vorosmarty a permanent market for local products and handicrafts such as traditional Hungarian clothing, soaps, musical instruments and other he has come across and GI band or groups of dancers who rievOcana dances of the local folk tradition.


Another point of historical interest, not only is certainly the Castle : Located on the Buda hills, overlooking the entire city center with a beautiful panoramic, and across the periphery to reach just over the bridge Szechenyi Lanchid and climbing several flights of steps, or take the 'bus stop No. 6 on the right of the roundaboutwhere you enter the bridge or take the funicular [840 guilders]. Within the walls of the castle are several museums including the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum [1300 guilders] in which they are displayed across a series of exhibits that tell the history of the city from its origins to the nomadic until contemporary times. Absolutely not miss a tour of the Castle Labyrinth! one of two entrances is Uri utca , and 6 after the lights go down and whoever comes comes with gas lamps .. though once stink out the entire evening of gas, I think it's worth it XD! Cmq .. the maze is really beautiful, very beautiful, full of corridors that end in the nulla, which peer out from dark corners inquetanti figures carved into the rock, accompanied by an 'appropriate soundtrack composed by music and tribal beats of the heart continuously accelerate. A corner really impressive is the wine fountain welling .. down 'seems to smell very good, but the taste is terrible hehe [obviously could not desist from' taste lol]. Castle to eat may not be the 'ideal for saving, but in addition to restaurants and coffee shops and there are also a supermarket; tralaltro make sure you have enough money changed before arriving at the castle, because there theres only a Change, and Sunday is inexplicably closed-_-
Among ATRE plenty to see in Budapest can not miss a visit at the Zoo [1850 guilders], a great zoo, with animals of all kinds and at various houses' internal reality enclose reconstructions of various natural habitats, even with animals kept free! Beautiful and interesting the Museum d 'Arte Moderna , which with 1500 florins for the 'entry allows you to see a vast collection ranging from Roman ruins, Greek and Etruscan up to a' exhibition of paintings by Italian and Spanish 700 and the end 800, plus temporary exhibitions in two underground rooms, which now comes from the painters' Impressionism to Cubism.

'S input on the Millennium Monument which overlooks the Heroes' Square [ Hosok tere ], from which Andrassy utca , a very big street overlooked by them/_ueYJuxaI3vk/S74FuDYpMVI/AAAAAAAADDk/-PxRXfrXrsk/s1600/54.jpg “> Museum of Terror [900 guilders if you are a student under 26 years of 'European Union - official website , English and Hungarian]: this particular museum, it stands on what was the palace-headquarters of the two powers, comes to witness the terrible effects that dual employment before the Nazis and later the communists took over the whole 'Hungary and a path toruoso inquetante in different rooms that represent different ways the various aspects of the tragedy of 'employment to a level where they were kept in underground prisons. I do not think there's much to add on this particular museum, if you need it.
Bello also Vajdahunyad Castle , an interesting building that stands in the middlean 'island in the park behind the Heroes' Square, which is not really a castle, but a palace built by a set of architectural styles that trace those who have crossed the city's history, built to celebrate the end of the millennium' 800; to 'Inside the palace is home to the Museum' s Agriculture [1150 guilders] a really interesting museum that deals with subjects dear to the Hungarian history and culture, as the history of wine making, hunting , fishing and peasant culture, preparing reconstructions davveo well made and cared for farmhouses, hunting scenes, edges of woods , etc.. Recommended! r /> Last but not least, you can not absolutely do not spend at least an afternoon at the spa: Budapest has always been famous for the abundance of hot springs that gush out there, among these I recommend the Szechenyi Baths [3100 florins official website in English], the most famous of the city, with its 3 large pools to 'open active all' year, is always ready to entertain you all day XD just entered the courtyard with pools you will opposite 3 pools: one on the right is the hottest while the central one is the most “cold” and is divided into lanes, just like a normal pool, the left hand is at intermediate temperature and its center is a wall built within which is fired at regular intervals the 'artin a circle so that it creates a vortex that shoots you off at all fire XDDD too good! the need to do assoluatamente XDD
Cmq careful, what seems to be the 'main entrance is not really the right one for tourists: for us the daily visitors' entrance is right on the back of' building [than that on Ã?llatkerti Korut the same street where Zoo faces] that a small foyer where you can buy towels, costumes and slippers (the headset is not obligatory); to the ticket price 's entrance, you can add various treatments Health and beauty or simply a private cabinvata, otherwise included in the price will be given bracelets with a special chip with which you can only access the locker and the locker where you can take a course that only you can open and close with your bracelet. From the lobby, if you have not taken the private cabins' s access to the locker room is divided and women is on the left and men on the right.
Inevitable even a visit to Central Market Covered [the letter C in the map ], where a river of odors and flavors come together in a tangle of daily life, traditions and colors: theground floor you will find many stalls of meats, meat, fruit, vegetables and liquor, the second product of local crafts, souvenirs and many food stalls open all day, and also a cafe and restaurant in the basement and sold deer meat and fish: large tubs overflowing with carp that you can choose and you will be killed and cleaned on the spot [in the face of fresh fish XD], and to ' Margaret Island , a large island in the middle of the Danube almost entirely converted into a park, a very quiet and pleasant place to spend a sunny morning taking a picnic somewhere spacious lawn, or in the small Japanese garden, ev isit the ruins of several churches, one here by that name to 'Island , and that in turn takes it from Princess Margaret who became a nun and they lived and died. We reach the bridge Margit hid, half of which theres a subway leading directly up a bit of 'island.



Now to the advice for the “survival”: Budapest is not an expensive city, and if we turn to a travel agent 'of trust and honest, or you know the right sites on the Internet, you can organize a great trip very low cost, for 8 days to stay overnight in a hotel 3 stars Via”Http://maps.google.it/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=it&geocode=&q=pilvax+koz&sll=47.493226, 19.053404 & sspn = 0.003516,0.009645 & ie = UTF8 & hq = & hnear = 1052 + Budapest + V + ker % C3% BClet, Pilvax + + k% C3% B6z, + Hungary & ll = 47.493516,19.056108 & spn = 0.007032,0.01929 & z = 16 “> Pilvax Koz [practically next to Vaci Utca] with breakfast and return flights can get to spend 320 euros per capita, which is really very cheap, or not?
If you arrive by plane to reach the center you can take public transportation, or special shuttles, or in a very comfortable and not at all expensive taxis; the Ã…berg abound, from the most expensive as the 'Hilton or the Corvinus, to much cheaper hotels including the usual chains like continental 'Ibis or Best Wstern. Are so many that I do not think it is difficult to find a comfortable even coming directly without reservation, although it probably will be less economical. Rest be difficult to find a hotel with breakfast, a formula that apparently in Budapest should not be very popular.
As for me I've been to City Pension Pilvax [point A on map], a continental-style hotel centrally located, offering the possibility of colzione including: the rooms are simple, each with a private bathroom, but functional and include a TV satellite and a small fridge, and always very clean and tidy. In the bathroom towels are changed daily, and even if it is supplied for each room, just take a hairdryer at the reception for him without any additional charge.
Inzomma Budapest remains a city economic, and even live there then it will not be expensive. For manjars open many possibilities: Hungarian cuisine is rich and flavorful, consisting mainly of meat and paprika [as for all countries of the north-eastern Europe not really suitable for vegetarians], and rooted in a secular cultuna, an aspect therefore essential to try for those who decide to live even for a short time, this wonderful land. For myself I can recommend a couple of “inns” Typical first Alfold Vendeglo splendid! [ official website , in Hungarian only] a short walk away from Váci Street, offers a simple and comfortable, with good portions of all dishes, and the fact that it is widely frequented by locals ensures quality. For lunch you will certainly serve an impassive old waiter who can charge high stacks of plates on the arms ° O °, almost certainly find a dish on your desktopwith 5 or 6 muffins to paprika, but be careful that what may seem a tasty offer is actually counted in the final bill .. But the price is so ridiculous [210 guilders] view that their goodness is really worth some mangirane XD; also BohèMtanya [the letter A on map], always easy to walk to the center, is not bad and in a warm and rustic, though obviously more touristy, serves huge portions at very reasonable prices accompanied by the musicians who improvise songs with violin and accordion [funny, but no gratuity shall not depart from your desktop anymore XD] forthose who prefer an environment and a more informal, but always keeping the light leakage of money from his wallet, I can advise Sorforras [A in map ], an elegant, but not excessive, its own restaurant in Vaci street, which is placed in order certainly more elegant, but offering cmq a 'great selection of dishes, that spite the centrality of the restaurant, do not lose it as it in quantity. Prices on some courses can be a bit 'higher than normal but remain cmq amazing. The menu is also a short list of tasty salads, and lunch is offered uNo meu for tourists is priced almost truly offers a full typical meal (even if just a little 'smaller portions) with goulash, chicken paprika with dumplings in sauce and Gundel pancakes [typical dessert: crepes filled with chestnut].
