restaurants on Margaret Island
by gdterry
Could you recommend a restaurant for lunch on Margaret Island that is open in late March?
RE: restaurants on Margaret Island
by Mikebb
Hi When we walked Margaret Island I recall seeing several places to eat, plus soft drink and snack stalls. Many of the facilities on the island are old and need money spent on them, we were there Sept'05. A nice place to visit , but we decided to eat elsewhere.
Good Luck, Mike

Maybe you didn't walk far enough. We went to the very end of the island and stopped at the elegant Danubius hotel and spa. They had both coffee shop and restaurants. It's true we were there in the summer and ate outdoors, but this is a very good hotel and would be certain to have a nice place for lunch.

The best spas / thermal baths in Budapest
by globetrotter77
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a really good (and maybe slightly different from the norm, quirky, unusual etc) spa or thermal bath in Budapest. I'm looking to get away from the famous ones like Gellert and try something slightly different, if possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Unfortunately, I have no personal experience. Check this site for information about spas in Budapest, this may be helpful.

Why not look into the Danubius Thermal baths on Margaret Island? We found them a lovely, restful place to spend a few hours. They're at the very end of the island, which is itself a park very worth exploring.

The exterior architecture might not be very grand, but the interior is all you can ask for.
Accommodation Outside Central Budapest
by Archway
Hi. I wonder if anyone could recommend any reasonable hotels (or apartments) on the outskirts of Budapest or even in a town close to Budapest.
We'll be travelling to Budapest by car, and do not wish to take it into central Budapest. Ideally we are looking for a hotel that is about 20 - 30 minutes from central Budapest.
I'm probably asking for too much, but it would be good if the hotel/apartment was in walking distance (10 minutes or so) of a metro stop or station and in a safe area.
Many thanks

Hotel Budapest could very well suit your needs

From memory it is only a short walk to the metro from the hotel

My recomendations
1. Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget
http://www.danubiushotels.com/en/budapest-hotels/danubius-health-spa-resort-margitsziget-budapest
Hotel is located in a safe area, on the Margaret Island, between Pest and Buda, on the River Danube in the middle of the city, in walking distance (10 minutes or so) of metro-line 3. The island is car-free but hotel guests may enter the island into own garage of the hotel. It is not cheap - avarage daily rate 120 - 160 Eu/room
2. Hotel Stadion - Budapest
http://www.danubiushotels.com/en/budapest-hotels/hotel-stadion-budapest
Hotel is located in a safe area, in the near of the Puskás Ferenc Stadium, the László Papp Sportarena, has a covered parking lot, and in walking distance (2 minutes or so) of metro-line 2, ("Stadionok" Station), avarage daily rate 60 - 80 Eu/room
Re: Accommodation Outside Central Budapest
by Archway
Thank you for your replies. There are some great possibilities there.
ossian99: I guess there are two reasons why we don't want to take our car into central budapest -
1) We don't want to get caught in any traffic jams
2) More importantly, we won't be familiar with the roads. We'll have maps (and sat nav), but from experience, driving in central parts of unknown cities (especially when busy), can be very stressful.

I agree with your explanation very much, I always make the same as well.
Have a good time. Laszlo
Travel Tips for Budapest
The Holy Right Hand of St Stephen (the King)
by Nemoa
Ok, this one for the very religious and the lovers of gory items.
This is the mummified Right hand of King St Stephen I, some 1000 years old only !
It enjoys great devotion from the people of Budapest, or so I have heard, because it was a lot more worshipped by tourists when I happend to came across it (including, ahem, me....).
It is very fairly appreciated by the people as, like many other relics, it was stolen by the nazis during WWII and recovered by the people of Hungary only after the war.
To light up the casket it lies in you have to drop a coin but my advice is to mix yourself up with a group of Japanese tourist and they will drop all the coins for you :-)
In fact, the hand itself can be better appreciated in the pictures that accompany the casket rather than the real thing itself but in any case, it is an interesting sight, not only for pilgrims but for anyone with curiosity for the pious items.
Budapest The Capital Of Hungary
by cobrioc
Budapest one of the liveliest and most beautiful cities of all Europe. The city has numerous treasureladen museums of fine and applied arts with valuable collections of European and Hungarian artists as well as historic artifacts.
Dreher
by biggeorge
Hungaries most famous ( and most drinkable ) beer . Now available in preference to imported beers and the nasty domestic Arany Asok.
Consuming large quantities can be bad for the depth perception.
Off the Peaten Bath.....in Budapest
by budapest8
Looking through the other tips I see a lot of places
which are really touristy and the path is well beaten
as a tourist location where you will just run into other tourists!
When I hit a place for the first time and the weather is good,
I love to find those places hidden away or unknown by the
tourist guides! It`s so simple just to buy a good map of the city
and then just dissapear of the tourist radar. I have a student coming
in 10 mins so will write more when time allows.
Budapest has 22 Districts and tourists will penetrate less than
1% in area of the city, so just use your imagination and jump
on a bus, tram or local train and travel for 15 minutes and see where you end up!
Get a MAV train timetable or look on the net at where the local transport will take you,
then check out districts and places in GOOGLE. But then again some travelers
are into buildings and not local people and customs. Me I like to go DARK, off the radar
and penetrate into the woodwork of a place.
For example about 8 years ago when I was married and
living in Budapest downtown just off Kalvin Ter, I loved to choose locations
a little further of and then find out how to get there, I went to the Obuda Sziget (island)
instead of the Margit Island for relaxing sunny afternoons.
Sometimes trips to Vac or Nagymaros for the day,
crossing on the ferry over to Visegrad..
Take the Nostalgia train (Steam train from Nyugyati Station
Summer weekends) Take the Local Train HEV out to Cspel Island
and see the factories and the working mans drinking bars, go to the
Chinese Market (take the No.9 bus ) to Josef Varos Kina Piac.
Go to the shopping Mall Mamuth 1 stop by tram 4 or 6 from Moskva Ter
and see the world of well to do Hungarians. Walk round some of the run
down areas behind the SOTE hospital at Klinikat on the the blue line metro.
Erzsebet ter (square)
by german_eagle
Just a few steps from Deak Ferenc ter, the metro hub in the centre of Pest, is the Erzsebet ter, a nice oasis in the busy city. I thought it has a beautiful design with lawns, trees, the Danubius fountain in the middle (by Miklos Ybl, built 1880-83, destroyed in WWII so you see a copy, on top (male) Danube, the other three (female) figures depict the rivers Theiss, Drau and Save).
The square is surrounded by interesting buildings. The southern side is occupied by two fancy hotels: the Kempinski Corvinus with post-modern design and Le Meridien. Only a few steps from Le Meridien, on Deak Ferenc ter, are the Evangelic-Lutheran church and the Evangelic museum of Hungary. Worth to mention is that the museum owns the original testament of Martin Luther. No idea how they got it.
Questions and Answers
Q: 7 days "hi
I am going to Budapest for a week and want to buy a 7 day transport ticket.
Could someone tell me the one to buy and what..."
A: "Strange but true you buy the 7-day pass. You can get these from post offices and transport ticket offices and the pass allows use of all public transport within the city..."
