    by tomerik
    One of the symbols of Budapest, the Chain Bridge, has a summer festival every weekend from June 28-Aug 17. Vehicle traffic gives way to pedestrians, baby strollers, roller skaters and onlookers. Local food, artists and crafts are available and the ambiance is very festive. Begins around 6PM until 11PM.

    Visiting a thermal bath while in Budapest is as compulsory as visiting the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Szechenyi bath is huge with 9 pools and 3 of them are outdoors. It is well frequented and the earlier you get there the better (they open at 6 am!). Lunch can also be had there and is not expensive at all. Ex. a pint costs 480 Forints. Of the 3 outdoor baths there is one Olympic pool for those who want to swim, one with 24-25 degrees which have some artificial currents and the last one is thermal with 37-38 degrees. The hot one is the most popular and is where people tend to stay the longest some playing chess others reading a book. The entrance cost is 5600 forints (there is a reduction with the Budapest card) and you can stay as long as you want.

    Remember to take a towel, some slippers and some sun screen if you go during summer as the water reflects the sun and could rapidly cause burns.

    This was a siper way to relax and see the sites.
    There are several cruise lines to choose from . Make sure you pick one with an open top area , for better viewing. It was a wonderful one hour cruise , with multi lang headphones to explain what you ar seeing. Great sites and information. It cost 2990 FT ( about $20.00)
    We chose the Mahart PassNave

    On the castle district you will find the museum of warfare in the northern part.

    This is a very impressive building that was barracks and now you can see exhibitions about history of warfare and military.

    To enter the museum you should pay 300 Forint.
