Budapest - Jun 2006


Page Description

Photogallery about our 5 days holiday in Budapest - the capital city of Hungary (30May-5Jun 2006). Budapest is a very large capital city with large and highly decorated building lining most of the streets of the central area. There are numerous impressive sites, churches, park squares, many museums and statues to keep the tourist and his camera busy. It is rather impossible to visit them all in a week. The transport system is very efficient for the 2 million inhabitants of Budapest - there is a fast underground metro, and efficient trams and buses at very cheap fares.

The most impressive sites are the Fisherman's Bastion including Mathias Church and small old village it withholds, Chains Bridge over the Danube river, the Castle, the majestic Parliament, the Jewish Synagogue, Saint Stephen (Istvan) Basilica, and a peaceful walk around Margit island. As far as I noticed, only Vaci Utca (Vaci Street) is for pedestrians only and it is also the most busy and popular street in Budapest with many shops, 2 nice parks, Cafeteria, some restaurants and of course lined by characteristic distinct decorated buildings side by side that literally, each deserves a photo for its own!

Restaurants are not concentrated in one area, and so, you have to walk a lot to have visited say 5 to choose from. The central ones are rather expensive compared to the living standards of Hungary but on the whole they have 'okay' prices for the pockets of many tourists. However there are several excellent restaurants with relatively cheap prices scattered around Budapest.

The long electric stairway which carries many thousands of people every day up of down the Metro underground transport. The one at Moscow Tere is probably the longest I have seen during our holiday. The stairs are inclined about 45 degrees and are also very fast (not like the slow ones at the shopping arcades) where one would need some practice to get used to them

Map of the Metro Underground System. There are 4 lines - Green, Yellow, Red and Blue - from which the metro travels and it at the marked locations. The 3 prinicpal lines meet at Deak Ferenc Ter, which is the most busy metro stop-terminus since it is the only one where one can change from one line to another. Additionaly, Deak Ferenc ter is situated in heart of central Budapest. The green line is more extensive since further goes out of budapest!
