Thermal bathes in Budapest

by hunkonc

The best tip for a rainy day is a Spa in the city. Budapest is called as city of thermal spas. The most famous are the Gellért, Széchenyi, Király, Rudas. The Király and Rudas Baths are Turkish bath with special atmosphare. The Gellért and Széchenyi are public bathes. The main differences are the architecture and atmosphare of the pools. In the Gellért the thermal areas can be visited only separatly. It has pool outdoor with artificial waves, it is my favourite. Anyway I visit more the Széchenyi Spa, because it is the biggest in Budapest and has 18 pools!!!. With the entrance ticket I can spend a whole day in the complex. All of the pools, saunas, steam cabines and fitness room are available with one ticket. Only the massage, pedicure and beauty salon services are extra charge. When I have a hard day I usually spend some hour with relax in the 35-42 C' degrees warm water of the pools....

Folklore show with hungarian dancers

by hunkonc

I have found a really good cultural program for evening. It was twice 45 minutes show in the Danube Palace. Its located near to the Chain Bridge, behind the Four Seasons Hotel. The Danube Palace is a realy nice architectured, Neo- Baroque style building. Some scenes of the film Evita with Madonna was shot here.The folklore show started 20:00 and lasted until 21:30. The dancers wear costumes from small hungarian villages. The coreography was based on authentic dances. The music was performed by a group with gipsy artists. They used a lot of time violins. For me the nicest part of the coreography when ladyes dance with wine bottles on his top of head without touch it with their hands.After the performance I have buyed a CD of Rajko Folk Ensemble from the hostesses. When the show finished I have joined to a ship cruise started at 22:00 from the venue. (Danube Palace) During this cruise I...

Strip Bar

by pkamondy

Was in Budapest for a weekend with some friends and ended up in 4Play Lounge and had a great time despite all the warnings about Budapest strip clubs. The prices of the drinks were normal(compared to a strip club), they sent a taxi for us for free and the girls were absolutely hottt. The surprise show was also something that we will definetely never forget.:D A big thank you to the managers Charles and Linda and of course the staff and girls who made us feel welcome.

Buda Castle (Budavar): Buda Castle - Dominating th

by Sambawalk

The former Royal Palace dominates Castle Hill and defines the view of Buda from the Danube. The Castle was the residence of Hungarian kings for ages. The fortification system and the palace were built in the 13th century following the Mongol invasion. It was destroyed and rebuilt many times, and being renewed from time to time symbolizes the country itself. Built on medieval foundations, the Renaissance structures were destroyed by the Turks. Later, the Baroque Palace burned down, then its reconstructed buildings were damaged during the War of Independence (1848). To get there, you can walk through the Chain Bridge and then go up to the Castle with the funicular.Now the former Royal Palace holds a number of museums, including the National Gallery, Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Budapest City History Museum, as well as the National Library. There is plenty to see and do during...

Gellert Hill

by Sambawalk

The hill that dramatically rises over Danube a little south from the Buda hill is Citadella, and it offers great views of both Buda hill and Pest side of the city. There is also a Soviet-style Liberation Monument overlooking the Danube, but the only real reason to visit this place are breathtaking views it offers.

Great place to hang out early evening....Bongo playing RASTA HUNGARIANS some nights and a real make your own mind up what it is art on the walls. Looks a bit sleazy but once you settle down a great atmoshere. Great view of the synagogue opposite. Dreher is the best local beer. Ask for 'edge korshar' (half litre) or 'edge poorhar' ( small beer).Closes round midnight.???
