VISIT THE… Parliament House, A mandatory tour of Budapest’s national Parliament Building, one of the city’s most famous landmarks by the Danube. The multiroom building is well known for its Gothic architecture, gorgeous paintings and wonderful statues. Learn about Budapest in its 691 design rooms.
EAT AT… wherever they do Lángos is a traditional Hungarian snack (which is not at night), a deep fried, pizza form shaped bread, usually in cream cheese spread and Hungarian strong garlic, bolognese sauce and salt. If you have got a spot for fried bread and cheese and became a friend of the vendor, who doesn’t do this?; it is the best way to enjoy life making friends who feed us. Then we bet just one of these traditional Hungarian snacks won’t be the only and lonely one. You’ll be straight back in for another one we are sure.
TAKE A BATH… By morning-afternoon, the Szechenyi Baths are an oasis of calm in Buda or pest, a luxury spa carings, massages, and sauna in the grandeur of a sprawling 20th-century Turkish building. Wait a second not all is calm in Budapest and for sure into this Building, what about on a weekend night? -Yes, it turns into something special and more evil, Sparty time. We just need to wait until night falls and the celebration goes into the morning. Unlimited music, endless alcohol, electronic music performances, cool people and romantic lights make an unforgettable evening.
WALK AT… Fisherman’s Bastion The Fisherman’s Bastion is an impressive Neo Gothic viewing terrace situated on the Buda bank of the Danube on Castle Hill, prepare the flash and smile at the camera.
OUR TIP… The funicular railway is a cable car that links Széchenyi Chain Bridge from the top to the river level to Buda Castle above. The funicular is a simple way to explore the castle without climbing to the top on foot which is not bad but in summer you better be in shape to get it in a record or average time. It only takes around 10 minutes and you can get a guided tour, your laziness isn’t going to cost too much and you are contributing to keep the city in a good condition.
PARTY IN… With an open courtyard and a labyrinth of psycho minimalist-rooms, adorn it with eclectic furniture, Szimpla Kert communist memorabilia, dilapidated building and edgy artwork, and you’ve got the city’s most famous (and most cool) ‘ruin bar’, Szimpla Kert. Be sure to order a shot (or more) of Pălinca when you’re there. It’s a traditional Hungarian liqueur which will make you warm in winter and spirited during summer.
