Budapest travel tips
Trams in Budapest are the longest in the world and run every minute
Many canteens in Budapest are left from the Soviet past. They are called önkiszolgáló étterem and are open from 11:30. One of them is situated right in the city centre, near the Cathedral of St. Matthias in the area of the Buda Castle (Fortuna utca, 4). A three-course lunch here will cost around €3 but be sure to come early!
Take hundreds of photos of the Budapest Parliament building
The Budapest Parliament is the most recognisable building in this city, and it is simply impossible to stop taking pictures of it. The parliament was built in 1904 in the neo-Gothic and Parisian beaux-arts style. On weekends, you can get on an excursion; the ticket costs about 17 euro.
Stop by the memorial dedicated to the Jews who lost their lives in the Danube river in Budapest
There is a famous and sad memorial on the Danube embankment — there are 60 pairs of children and adult shoes. It is an art object by sculptor Gyula Pauer, dedicated to the Jews who lost their lives in Budapest. Locals still bring flowers and grave candles to this place.
