The city of Budapest
|
Budapest is truly one of the world's most attractive cities, rich in both natural and architectural beauty. It is no wonder that the Castle District, the River Danube embankments and the whole of Andrassy út have been officially recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We are offering accomodation close to this touristic sites in Budapest.  |
Sightseeing toursVisitors to Budapest will quickly see how it has managed to blend several centuries of architectural and cultural heritage with all the innovations thrown at it by modern life. As finances permit historic buildings and monuments are gradually being renovated and restored, and if time is of the essence visitors would be well advised to make a plan in order to see as much as possible of this beautiful city.  And whilst up in the Castle District a visit to the Matthias Church and perhaps to a museum as well can be heartily recommended.  A look out at the panoramic view of the whole city from the Fishermen's Bastion is an absolute must! In Pest, arguably the most important sight is Andrássy út. As far as Kodaly Korond both sides are lined with large shops and flats built close together.  Between there and Heroes' Square the houses are detached and altogether grander. Under the whole runs continental Europe's oldest Underground railway, most of whose stations retain their original appearance. Heroes' Square is dominated by the Millenary Monument, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front. To the sides are the Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace of Arts, and behind City Park opens out, with Vajdahunyad Castle on its own island in the little lake, and further off the Zoo, the Circus and the Fun Fair. Sightseeing from the number 2 tram There cannot be many tram rides even in the great cities of the world where it is possible to see all the best tourist attractions for the price of just a single ticket. In Budapest, though, a ride on the number 2 tram is just such. The following is a brief description of what to look out for on a southbound journey. The total time from end to end is about 21 minutes, with the first and last trams leaving the southern Kozv´g&ocute;h&icute;d terminus at 4.45 a.m. and 11.25 p.m. respectively. The tramcars themselves are of Hungarian design and date from 1967. There are interesting sights both to the left and right of the tram's progress, but the best place to sit is on the side nearest the River Danube. And be careful not to get on a number 2A tram, as that only goes as far as Petofi Bridge.  |
