From the Castle Hill.

by joks

A great view of Pest and its surrounding from the top of the hill. And make sure you pay tand get into St Mathias Church just by the Bastion. It's the most beautiful decorated church interior I have ever seen in my life!

Gellert Bath

by devinemissd

This bath has an absolutely amazing architecture. It´s a very old bath house and it´s built on top of lime stone rocks where there are several underground wells. It has both outdoor and indoor pools. Gellert is also a hotel.

Heroes Square

by devinemissd

This huge square is a spectacular thing to see. The monuments are intricatly made and stands tall in the sky. This is one of the main hang out spots for skateboarders and inliners. And from here it´s not far to the city park where you can rent a rowing boat and relax on the quiet lake. This is a small haven in the middle of a noisy city.

Walking along the Danube

by devinemissd

A must when you´re in Budapest is to take a stroll along the Danube. From here you have a wonderful view over the Buda-side. At night everything is lit up beautifully. There are many restaurants and cafés along the way, but be careful when shopping for souvenirs. There´s just to much to choose from!

West Keszthely a pleasant town of grand houses tree lined treets and funky cafes with unique views of both shores of the lake.

This oblong lake, about 100km from Budapest, is one of the largest in Europe.Balaton is divided into two quite different shores: the south, which is essentially one long resort of high rise hotels and minuscule beaches, and the north, where there are more historical towns and sights, mountain trails , better wine, and much less glitz.

Eger's "The Valley of the Beautiful Women"

by lonely_traveller

I missed that tour, but what I heard is this is the place where you can have wine tasting from 48 or more wine cellers, at a cheap price. Also you can buy Hungarian wine there for a very low cost. Make sure you don't get drunk!
