Budapest travel tips
1) Visit the park where all Soviet sculptures in Budapest were transferred | The first bridge connecting the two parts of Budapest appeared only in 1849. It is called the Chain Bridge and was once a wonder of the world thanks to its hanging construction type. The bridge railings are adorned with elaborate ornamentation, and statues of lions are also installed on the bridge. |

2) Climb the Castle Hill on a 19th-century cable car and see the former royal residence in Budapest | Castle Hill rises above Budapest, offering wonderful views of the city. You can climb the hill by the old cable car called Sikló. On the hill, there is the former residence of the Hungarian kings, Budai Vár. Now it houses the National Gallery and the Museum of the History of Budapest. |
3) Ride a historic retro tram to enjoy all the beauties of Budapest city centre | There are several retro tram routes in Budapest.
