Three days in Budapest – Endless of history, attractions, museums and great architecture,you may forget that you are in east europe.
Cruising in the Danube river at night, be stunned from the covered parliament that was covered by lights.
walking in underground tunnels that were used as hospital in few wars.
climb up the stairs to the highest point in the city and enjoy panoramic view, breathtaking.
Buda and Pest I love you both!
Things to do in Budapest:
Citadella – the best view over Budapest ,Citadella is a fortress in Buda side,in front of Elisabeth bridge – on the top of the Citadella you get a panoramic view over the city, you can also find there souvenir shops and local food as the knowen sweet Kürtőskalács.
Fisherman’s bastion – the name of the castle came from the responsibility of the fishermen’s guild in the old days to defend the castle.
