Exploring Budapest

The city of Budapest is easy to get around, once you remember where the Danube River is, you can set your bearings so that you can’t get lost here. So maybe starting to see the city from the banks of the Danube would be the best option.

To see all the sights one can start out on the sightseeing tour at Duna Korzo on the Pest side. This long walking stretch continues pas the Inter- Continental Hotel and on towards the Chain Bridge. From any where on the Corso you will have a splendid view of the city. One can see Buda with its beautiful castle, the Gellert Hill and lots more. The scenery definitely will take your breath away.

Then you can walk along the Korzo and have a coffee in one of its nice café’s. Also one can jump on a no.2 tram and also get a good view of the city. Anyway continue walking over the Chain Bridge – Budapest’s famous bridge. From the bridge one can see almost all the spectacular views - the Margaret Island, the Parliament, the hills and Pest’s buildings.

The Danube runs through the city centre north – south direction, with the east side being called Pest and the west side called Buda. You will have no problem orientating yourself after the first hour or two. It will all come natural to you after a while.
