Budapest

Favorite discoveries or tips:

We followed all of the Budapest walks and saw more of the city than any of our compatriots who had arrived with us off river cruise. Follow Rick's advice and wander the back streets of this great city and discover why so many Europeans are taking their holidays there instead of Prague.

For a Spurge in Budapest I am recommending the Marriott on the Danube. I visited it's concierge level lounge with friends who were staying there. The food and the views were the highlight of my trip.

The Yellow Metro line lets out right behind the szechenyi baths- leading you directly to the entrance mentioned in the book.

Also- the 4/6 Tram (not mentioned in the book) goes right to Muscov Ter to connect to the buses for the Castle Hill walk.

Green's restaurant- we called it "good and cheap" Green's Sorözo és Fozelékbár Address: Dob utca 3., VII. district Tel: (+36 1) 352 8515

I recommend the Hotel, Residence Izabella, Izabella Utca 61, Budapest 1064. It is just off Andrassy Ut. We enjoyed thie apartment hotel because it is clean modern, and close to a metro stop.

The format of the book worked very well. I left the back half of the book at home and stapled the different "Walks" separately and then just carried the ones we planned to do for that day.
