Visit several towns on the Danube
by budapest8
Visit several towns on the Danube bend; like Szentendre,Vac,Estergom, Visagrad,Nagymaros,Dunabogdany & Szob.
Eat Porkolt which is the Hungarian name for GULYAS:
Visit Rudas Baths early one morning and then stroll across the Szabadsag Bridge to the market in Vamhaz Krt. next to the Economics University. Eat something at one of the buffets upstairs or walk up to Raday utca and eat in the Berliner.Good Hungarian food. Walk then across Kalvin Ter up Muzeum Krt past the National Museum and have a cappucinno coffee in the Muzeum Szucrazsda (sorry can't spell)with something sweet.We have 6 months of good weather here in Hungary so from April to October you can expect quite good weather, well there are those days it seems to rain and blow and endless cloudy skies, but on the whole, not bad. Take a walk around the huge cemetry on Fiumei ut, just go to Keleti Railway station and take a right.off Rakoczi ut. For the best panorama pics, then walk up Gellert Hill next to the Gellert Hotel and over the top by the citadella...WOW! see the view.Small cafe in the Citadella Hotel if your peckish.I have more pictures here at this site...

The Zoo Well, no matter...
by chrissyalex
The Zoo Well, no matter where I go...if there is a zoo...I check it out if I have the time. Not only were there animals...but also some buildings with different types of botany also. There was a building that had just Bonsai trees. I also saw a nice seal show. I had a good time at the zoo. See the travelogue.

Raincoat
by veigapaula
Extra bag (soft) to expand capacity after buying lots of souvenirs, books and posters. You go with one bag with the soft one inside and come back with two! Rain coat, umbrella, plastic hat...whatever you want to protect from rain if it happens. Lots! Good walking shoes...
Protestant (Calvinist) church
by german_eagle
The protestant (Calvinist) church is due to its location (right on the bank of the Danube on the Buda side) and its colourful roof a landmark of Budapest. Not that it is spectacular architecture in some way, but it is a dominating part of the panorama seen from the Pest side.
The church was built 1893-96 by architect Samu Pecz whose monument is right next to the church. Since he was an admirer of medieval architecture (the church was built in a mix of neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic styles) he is depicted in medieval clothing.
