On Wednesday, we arrive in our fourth country, Hungary, specifically in the Pearl of the Danube: its capital city, Budapest where we can meet at Budapest Keleti Palyaudvar Railway Station. Once divided between two towns, Buda and Pest, by either bank of the river, the entire city can now be best admired on a river cruise (find details in the box below).
All that wandering about will surely work out you appetite, so next on the list is lunch at the Buda Palace. While we’re there, we can admire the exhibitions of the Budapest History Museum and the paintings at the National Gallery. Shopping for souvenirs is also a popular option.
On the historic and cultural tour, we’ll explore both Buda and Pest with their respective highlights. In Buda, we’ll see the medieval Church of Matthias, the Fisherman’s Bastion and take pictures at the Gellert Hill. On the other side of the Danube, in Pest, we’ll pass the Parliament Building and the Heroes’ Square.
To conclude a memorable day in Budapest, you can sample the best of traditional Hungarian cuisine (such as goulash, goose liver and duck leg with wine) in a nice restaurant, all on the rhythms of Hungarian folk music.
We’ll spend the night in Budapest or in its vicinity. Among the hotels we usually use we mention: Expo Congress Hotel or Mercure Hotel Korona Budapest but if the situation requires it you will be accommodated in a different but equal three-star hotel in the city or a city nearby.
