There is a museum in a strict gray building, whose roof on sunny days discards the inscription "Terror" on the wall. Here is information about the occupation period of Hungary. In the post-war time in the building there was a prison, so the museum also describes the fate of prisoners.

Let's go through the avenue further, and the next point in our plan is the Gold Museum of Southeast Asia.

The entrance to the museum, of course, is allowed only to adults.

Erzhebetva - the most populated area of \u200b\u200bBudapest, also known as the "Ruin Pubs Area". Named pubs are not so easy, because they are in old buildings, some of which are dilapidated.

An unusual atmosphere is reigned here, for which tourists come from all over the world.

Hotel Boscolo - New York Cafe

Is it often in the list of attractions you can see hotels and restaurants? However, the five-star Boscolo Hotel and New York Cafe are really worth seeing or visiting them. This majestic building is striking from the street, and the interiors, and the cafe is recognized as the most beautiful in the world. Here, the traditions and luxury of the decoration are harmoniously combined, the creative elite of the city was gathered here.

The synagogue should be inspected from the inside, feel the unusual atmosphere that many visitors celebrate. This can be done independently, but can be a free excursion that start at a certain time.

After the inspection of the synagogue, you can walk back to the embankment, where we are waiting for the next attraction - the chain bridge section, the first permanent bridge over the Danube in Budapest. It was built by 1849 and became a kind of symbol of the association of cities. He is named after one of the investors of the construction of the bridge, Ishthan Section. During the war, the bridge was partially destroyed, but by 1949 he managed to restore, retaining the authenticity of the appearance.

Dozens of cast-iron pairs of shoes on the Danube embankment - memorial victims of the Holocaust, which members of the Hungarian Party "Crossed Arrows" were killed in 1944-1945. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe monument is inextricably linked with real events: before execution, the Jews were forced to go out on the embankment, left shoes for sale. The memorial project was thought out to the smallest detail: all pairs of shoes were created according to real models of the 1940s. Here often leave flowers and candles, lamps, and near children's shoes - candy and toys.

Once again, passing along the embankment by the parliament building, you can minimize to Newgeti Railway Station, named by area on which it is located. This is one of the main stations of Budapest. In 1846, at this place there was only one station, but by 1877 a modern building was erected.

On the second day it is time to familiarize yourself with the area of \u200b\u200bBuda. He is more quiet and calm, but the hill is walking here. Start best with a fishing bastion, one of the most important attractions of Budapest, and then visit the famous bathing, museums and even the cave. This part of the city also has what surprise you!

This unusual monumental building, built in the early 20th century, is located on a hill, so you can see a fishing bastion from any part of the city. It acts in the opposite direction: from the bastion you can see the Budapest.

Turks, galleries, wide stairs ... Bastion has not been reconstructed more than once, but still the spirit of history is well felt here. Earlier, at this place was the area on which they traded the fish, from where the name appeared. Despite the fact that it is a bastion, it has never been used for defense. The structure was carried, rather, aesthetic function, as it was built as a background for the Church of St. Mathia.

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city and, moreover, one of the most vintage. The church was built in the second half of the 13th century, after that several times reconstructed and expanded, but never was destroyed and thanks to talented architects retained its medieval appearance. However, inside the church a bit "younger" - the interiors here are 19th century. To examine them, nevertheless, it is worth: there are sculptures, and painting, and beautiful stained glass windows.

Museum "Hospital in the Rock" in Budapest

During the Second World War in the old dungeons of Budapest (about 10 km long), a secret hospital was organized, which by 1944 remained almost the only one in the city. The site remained until 2002 - in the post-war time it was a bunker in case of a nuclear attack.

Until 1935, the bathroom was the private property of different owners who often changed, after which it was purchased by the city and was open to visiting.

Another bath, which is nearby, is Kiray's swimsuit, one of the most vintage in Budapest. It was built in the second half of the 16th century and differs from other things that it does not have its own source, getting water from another bathing. Several times its owners changed, and she was named after one of them by the name König, which means "king" and in Hungarian pronounced as "Kiry".

It is a woman with a palm branch in his hands, and two other sculptures are a wrestler with a dragon and a man with a torch in his hands.

However, Mountain is not all, there is something to see and underground. Under the mountain is a whole network of caves, the most famous of which is the cave Gellert. Since the 1920s, the cave has been equipped with monks, and about 25 years old she served as a chapel and monastery. But in 1951, repression began, and the cave was inspired, and the monks were arrested.

Private guides in Budapest

In more detail with Budapest you will be helped to familiarize yourself with Russian private guides.

Approximately a week ago I wrote a big article about the sights of Budapest, but already putting the last point in it, I felt that I did not tell half of what I wanted to say about this city. Therefore, in some way, this article will be its continuation. Only in this review, I will tell you not about what to see, but what to get to do in the Hungarian capital. Free walks on the ship, the oldest metro in continental Europe, the place of shooting of the Hollywood blockbuster and the story about the drink, which (at least for a while) was able to displace beer from my life. I will tell you about all this further in this article. But before moving towards the direct story about Budapest, I strongly recommend that you read and my previous review (the one that is dedicated to the main attractions of Budapest).

Read? Then begin. This article promises to be very cool.

Idea number 1. Plunge into the atmosphere of the old city.

Yes - this is a banal banality (as texts in the songs of Belarusian pop artists), but I just could not write it. Budapest is, above all, beautiful architecture, streets, bridges, huge palaces over the shores of the Danube. There is no one single right route. At least, with Tanya, with Tanya, during their walks, they just walked, where the eyes look, and there were already some interesting interests there.

For example, I remember this fountain next to the local area of \u200b\u200bfreedom.


Make a step - and the water is broken. If you have long wanted to feel Moses - this is your chance. At least, for me in a 30-degree heat, he was just salvation.

But these guys next to the building of the Hungarian parliament I was sincerely sorry.

Around the poplar fluff of the heat of July - and they are in high boots and full uniforms. Well, at least the guys gave the guys. Now the hometown can sleep calmly.

Okay ... And if there are a lot of beautiful streets, buildings and squares in Budapest. Most of them are focused on the side of Pest, but I also liked Buda in principle. Especially in that area, which is adjacent to the fishing bastion and the Buday fortress. If the fest is often compared with Paris or Vienna, then Buda personally reminded me more by Serbia (a certain mix of Novi Garden and Subotica).

Interestingly, what are your impressions from this place?

Idea number 2. Arrange yourself a free walk through the Danube on the ship.

Today, river walks on the Danube offer many companies. I will not even enumerate them. Here and walks with dinner, and excursions with a guide, and even some kind of wonder-bus that not only goes through the streets, but also swims on the Danube. Here who is what is much - like in the talent show. The main way to unwind the money from tourists, which they lovingly saved all year on dinners.

Want some unusual swim - choose any company you like. For my part, I will now tell you how to ride a boat on the Danube for free. Well ... or almost free.

The thing is that in Budapest there are several ships that perform public transport functions. Ride there, of course, one tourists. But this is another conversation. So, what needs to be done in order to arrange a similar cruise on the Danube.

Step one. We buy in the automatic daily travel to all types of transport Budapest. It costs 1600 forints and operates 24 hours (the exact time of activation can be set when buying).

Step two. We go to the Danube Embankment and choose one of the berths (stops). I sat down at stop SZENT GELL? RT T? R M, but if you wish, you can choose another point. Map of routes is shown below.

Step Third. We are waiting for the right time, sang and swim. I do not know how these ships go at night, but during the day the interval of the movement was half an hour. The beginning of the movement in the area of \u200b\u200b8 am, the end - in the area of \u200b\u200b8 pm (depending on the specific stop).

During such a mini-cruise, the ship sails a good half of all the attractions of the city. Buday Fortress ...

Bridges over the Danube ...

Hungary Parliament Building ...

Some churches of the embankment ...

In general, you can choose your route and the duration of the walk yourself. But personally, I sailed from the Hill Hellert to Margit Island. Behind this island, the Old Town of Budapest actually ends, so I decided to get out at this point.

As for my experiences from the river walk, then, of course, 10 out of 10. We sat on the nose of the vessel, photographed and enjoyed a pleasant breeze that saved from the July heat.

Some girls peiled Selfie next to us.

Some kind of guy even shot a full-fledged video (about his passive girlfriend).

Some photos drove out and I myself (I don't wonder that day I put my tie!

It seems to be good, but Valentina Gennadyevna from Tver and Alevtina Grigorievna from Omsk still no matter anyway.

Just imagine this picture - one is already posing with might and main, and the other at the same time has not yet understood how the phone is included. Oh everything ... Go further.

Idea number 3. Climb Horle Hellert.

I climbed along this hill while I was waiting for my ship before walking on the Danube. There is a beautiful view and many sites from which you can make a lot of pictures of epic.

I've enjoyed my stay. And more like it more than on a more promoted and popular platform from the fishing bastion, which I wrote about in the previous article. Exciting panoramas open from both points. But on the hill gellert tourists is smaller, so the process of photography does not turn into a fight for survival. Here I calmly photographed and enjoyed views. And there only thought, in what language I drive the Chinese from the frame.

My inner Yanukovych wrinkled and shouted: "Stop"!

My inner Stalin was delayed with a tube and quietly added: "Shot"!

Idea number 4. Find a tiny sculpture by the embankment.

In general, different monuments and sculptures in Budapest a lot. Some of them are majestic and impressive as a monument on the Square of Heroes. Others are very small, such as, for example, a statue of a small princess or this worm of the Danube embankment.

There are many such sculptures there, so, walking in Budapest, be very careful. For example, I found such a tank with a swirling spirit.

Maybe something like that was able to find it too. Leave your photos in the comments.

Idea number 5. Ride on the Budapest subway.

A little more about public transport of the Hungarian capital. I do not remember ... I already told you or not that the metro station Budapest is the oldest in continental Europe? The construction of the first line - M1 - was completed in 1896. And since then, the local metro has been constantly expanding.

Today, the metro station Budapest is the colorful symbiosis of the old and new. Well, compare the view of the historic station "Opera" ...

And more modern Calvin Terry Station.

But more ... Entrance to the "Gellert" station.


I do not know, it is noticeable in the photo or not, but water flows on the walls in the transition (which, as I understand it, is a reference to the mixes of the same name).

Even if you arrived in Budapest for a while, pay attention to the local metro. This is a very interesting thing.

Idea number 6. Visit Ruins Bars and penetrate the nightlife of Budapest

Personally, I usually spent the evening in the yards Rude. It is such a special place, which is several closed courtyards, from all sides of the dishwashed cafes and restaurants. There is a special flavor. I will not even try to convey it with words. You will be in Budapest - go look at yourself.

Yards Rude.

Instead, I will better tell you about one bright chip of the night Budapest - the ruins-bars known to the whole world. Once it was just old abandoned buildings, but in the early 2000s, several local enthusiasts decided to redeem the empty areas and turn them into informal bohemian institutions. Someone dragged the garage furniture here; Someone saw the bath in half, making two designer armchairs from it; Someone even drove the old trabant. So on the site of old "homemakers" (I "M Sorry for this word) The first ruins-bars appeared in Budapest, which later turned into a real phenomenon in the fashionable life of the Hungarian capital.




Personally, I was only in one of the like bars - in the institution called Szimpla Kert. All photos are taken during the day. In the evenings in such bars simply not to push around. The atmosphere is like in Vilnius. But the Bar format itself is still closer to me. The whole area is still busting.

Idea number 7. Try Goulash, Paprikash and Froch.

In the center of Budapest, not far from the bridge of the section and the old market there is a long street of Waci, which from all sides is soaked with all sorts of cafes. The choice here is the most extensive. Therefore, if you want to try something from the Hungarian national cuisine - then you are here.

Also, not far from Wazi Street - at Vamhaz Korut 2. - There is an institution called Pub For Sale. Some time ago, he was shown in the transfer of "Eagle and Rush" and since then this place has gained special popularity among tourists from Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and other Russian-speaking countries.

Okay ... with food figured out. Now about drinking. In general, Hungary - the stamps is quite good viniche. But I personally remember the Hungarian Froch. This is the usual wine mixed with the usual mineral water. Divide one to one - and drive the clock on the clock. In the heat such a drink is well refreshing. It is easy, and in the fortress comparable with beer. From the moment of returning to Belarus, I switched to this drink. From beer belly grows. I know I know. My press remained only in dreams and on old photos.

Idea number 8. To come to Budapest at the Festival of Cigarette.

This is one of the largest music festivals in Europe, which every year attend hundreds of thousands of tourists from dozens of different countries. As headlines in different years, such popular groups as Radiohead, The Prodigy, Franz Ferdinand, Placebo and even Russian "Leningrad" lit up here.

The festival is held in mid-August on the Danube Island of the exercise. Personally, I, of course, was not on this music forum. But not to write about the siete in the article about Budapest it would still be wrong.

Idea number 9. Hollywood cinema.

Frame from the film "Spy". Studio - 20th Century Fox. Photos from the site - kiniska.com.

If you are at least a little interested in cinema, then, probably, you know that recently Budapest has become one of the most popular sites for American filmmakers. There are many beautiful streets where you can shoot "Europe", low prices for rental Pavilions Plus have all the necessary personnel with good qualifications.

In the film "Inferno" with Tom Hanks in the lead role in Budapest filmed Florence. But in the comedy militant "spy" with Jude Low, the Hungarian capital appeared in the appearance of himself.

Tom Hanks and Filiji Jones in the Budapest Museum of Kiskeli. In the plot is Florence.

Further, the representatives of the film "Martian" film, which filmed Mars in HunGexpo exhibition pavilions, and the center of flight control in a beautiful building called "Kit", standing at the shores of the Danube.

In general, 30 kilometers from Budapest there is a famous film studio "Cord", where you can visit a special excursion, where the entire process of cinematographic clogging is revealed. Everyone who wants to get there, but it is necessary to freeze for this. First, you need to write to the visit in advance. Secondly, the excursion will take place only if 15 people are scored at the desired date (I confused a little with the reservation process). Thirdly, it still needs to be reached, pay for a ticket to 3000 Forints (11 euros) and find a Russian-speaking translator or guide.

See all the details can be on this site - http://kordafilmpark.hu/en/. If someone was there - write in the comments. This is a very interesting topic.

And I will finish on these words. All goodbye. Today ... My watch is over!
