Don't miss the details
by Gentleman75
If You walk in Budapest and see the imposant old buildings, give time to Yourself to explore the details. It's worth to stop for a minute.
These motives can be seen on the top of the Vasarcsarnok (Market Hall) which is situated in Vamhaz korut.
If You would like to read more about Vasarcsarnok, take a look at my Things to do tips on Budapest page.
Baths
by grkboiler
Budapest has some of the finest thermal baths in all of Europe due to an abundance of natural hot springs. Baths have existed in the Budapest region since Roman times, but the Ottoman Turks who ruled Budapest for over 150 years made them what they are today and left many baths behind which are still in use.
The picture is of the Szechenyi Baths in Varosliget. This bath is the hottest and deepest in Budapest.
Batteries
by McPee
Make sure you take a tripod for night time shots. As you will gather - I forgot. If you are the owner of a digital camera, MP3 , Mini Disc etc then it is worth taking spare batteries with you. In some areas they are hard to find, and when you can they are sometimes less than worthwhile local brands. Maybe just my luck.
Mary Magdalene Tower
by nicolaitan
At the eastern corner of Capistrano Square stands the Mary Magdalene Tower, the only remaining section of a 13th Century Franciscan church. Under Turkish rule, this was the only Christian church in Budapest. The church was destroyed in large part in WWII during the month long siege of the German armies on Castle Hill. Only the 15th Century tower survived.
