Budapest Extension Vacation
Hungary is a link between Eastern and Western Europe. It's the country's cultural, political, intellectual, and commercial heart — and it teems with cafés, restaurants, markets, and bars. The Broad Danube River runs through the middle of this metropolis of two million, dividing hilly Buda from the Pest plain: the Danube panorama has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. To know why, you just have to see the Castle District and embankment at night, beautifully illuminated. From among the sights of the city there are 2000-year-old Roman amphitheatres, 400-year-old Turkish baths, and turn-of-the-century and characteristically Hungarian Art Nouveau ("Secession") buildings. Europe's largest Parliament, the more than 100-year-old, 691-room neo-Gothic palace faces to the mirror of the Danube water.
Knitted Rooftop
From old women selling boxes of raspberries in the heart of downtown Pest, cars careening by on all sides, to young boys playing soccer in the green foothills of Buda, where the air is fresh and clean, this city and its people will take you in and hold you tight. Budapest is a remarkable and wholly unpretentious place. Explore it fully. Turn off any of the main boulevards and you'll quickly find yourself in a quiet residential neighborhood where the rich scent of a hearty gulyás (stew) wafts from a kitchen window, a woman with a brightly colored kerchief tied around her head sweeps the sidewalk with a homemade broom, and cigarette smoke fogs the cavelike entryway of the corner pub, where the sign on the door states that beer is served as early as 7am! From the time you step off of the plan you will know you are in a very different place from home!
