Trash can support for nightshots :)
by MedioLatino
Nightshots are not easy to take, but with some help, you can get a nice result.
If you don't have a camera, nor any kind of support availabel at your close reach, use your imagination and grab a big trash can! This can be a great support! :)
Ideal on Heroes Square where you won't find any other support in the middle of the square! :)
Folk music and dances
by draguza
Hungary has won high renown in world musical history. Though the country's history has repeatedly prevented uninterrupted development, talented Hungarian musicians in classical music and jazz alike are world famous in our days as well. The history of Hungarian music stared with folk music and it was through adaptations of folk music in compositions of Béla Bartók that it joined the vanguard of international music in the last century.
Gellert Thermal Bath
by HORSCHECK
On my 2004 trip my friends and me visited the famous Gellert Themal Bath for some relaxation. As an extra we allowed us a 15 min massage. The interieur of the Art Nouveau building creates a historic nice atmosphere, but the staff is kind of grumpy.
The bath consists of several indoor and outdoor pools, rooms for massage, a steam sauna and some other rooms. The pools have various temperatures up to 38 C. The admission is relatively expensive. Depending on your needs, prices vary between 2200 and 2700 HUF, but when staying less than 4 hours you get a refund.
Synagogue
by barryg23
The synagogue in Budapest is one of the largest in Europe and it's towers are visible from many parts of the city. This was right beside our guesthouse and we kept meaning to visit it but in the end we ran out of time so all I have is the photo from afar.
