9. DANUBE
Boat Station Pier 7 , 5th district, Vigado ter., Budapest, Hungary
(Belváros-Lipótváros)
Danube River Cruise
“Took a 1 hr cruise on the Danube which was really terrific. You had a headset
and just turned to your preferred language. It was very interesting with lots of
historical facts delivered in such a way that you wanted to learn more!”
10. SHOES ON THE DANUBE PROMENADE
Jew shoes
“The shoes commemorate the Jews who were shot and forced
into the Danube after the German invasion of 1944 - knowing a
little of the history of the Jewish community in Hungary makes this
a poignant reminder of what can happen when the worth of every
human being is disregarded. With its memorial lights, the site is
rather untidy, but this does not detract from its poignancy. Worth
the short walk upstream from the Chain Bridge - a pity it is
inaccessible from the Parliament side of the road or from the
nearby tram stop.”
11. BUDA CASTLE - ROYAL PALACE
(KIRALYI PALOTA)
Destroyed by fire in World War II, this imposing 13th-century
palace was rebuilt with modern interiors while incorporating
hidden walls and medieval structures that remained hidden over
the centuries.
“Especially in the evening, the lit up bridges across the Danube
and the skyline of Pest is breathtaking. The whole Buda Caste
complex is vast and sprawling - allow for at least a half day to
take in the sights alone.”
“What a spectacular view. Lots of tourists. Best to bring your own
lunch as the only place s to eat are very touristy & pricey places”
12.
13. CHAIN BRIDGE (SZECHENYI LANCHID)
Over the Danube | Between Clark Adam ter and Roosevelt ter,
Budapest 1013, Hungary (Várkerület)
“This beautiful bridge connects Buda with Pest and crosses the
Danube River. No, the river isn't blue but rather "river" color: kind
of green looking. I wanted to take a river boat trip along the river
to see the bridge from another angle. The bridge is especially
beautiful at night when the lights strung across the span are
illuminated.”
14. CASTLE HILL (VARHEGY)
Szent Gyorgy Ter, Budapest 1014, Hungary (Várkerület)
Lovingly restored after being reduced to rubble during World War

The best views of Budapest and the Danube River are from this
hill, which also features the imposing fortress, the Citadella, at its
summit.
“The best panoramic view all over Budapest! you feel like you are
on a higher mountain top due to the high view exposure and
clarity. We really enjoyed the world war tank display also and the
quiteness in that Citadelle and the Statue of Liberty is really cool
and its like it is guarding the city... It is a must see when visiting
Budapest.”

23. CELEBRITAS SHOOTING CLUB
BUDAPEST
http://www.celeritas-sch.com/packages/
Grassalkovich ut 294., Budapest 1239, Hungary
“It was a great group, we had a lot of fun, and we got to witness other
guns being fired, which was thrilling. The instructors are brilliant.
They ensure your safety every second of the way, and guide you
completely. It was exhilarating and scary at the same time. Firing
many rounds can make you very tired, and the smoke gets down
your throat a little, so take water with you. There are lockers
provided, and you can also buy mugs and t-shirts as souvenirs. You
can take photos and video to your content, and pose with all of the
guns at the end. It brings out the kid in you, but also makes you
appreciate the seriousness of guns and gives you a higher level of
respect. I highly recommend this experience, and I would do it
again!”

student IDs for student discount)
“The hospital in the rock is well worth a visit if you like wartime
history.A very interesting hour and half tour given by an excellent tour
guide the only down side is that we got into a large group so going
round some of the rooms you miss what the guide is saying as some
of the rooms are small and the tour guide also tells the history of the
hospital in Hungarian so you are waiting for her to finish before you
can move on which sometimes makes it a little bit boring but a very
interesting tour overall.There is a gift shop where you can purchase
many wartime items my friend bought the authentic gas mask at
great price of just £3.”

“Great bar and great smoking area. Quite unique an funky. Built in

intimidating to find your way around at the start but it's fun to try.

39. “A new experience and was 'different'! We paid 3990Ft (around
£12 -£13) entrance for two adults, which included 2 vodka-based
cocktails, and 2 non-alcoholic 'cocktails'. There were only two
other people in there, and maybe that was just as well, because
there are only about 6 seating places - should you want to sit
down! I was impressed with the ice sculptures, but there again, I
haven't physically seen any before. Entertaining for about ½ hour,
but then you begin to feel the -20°C temperature! One
advantage on leaving, was going outside for a warm, into a
February night which was 'only' -4°C!!!”

41. DÜRER KERT
http://www.durerkert.com
Dürer Kert has been one of the most popular party venues during
the last couple of years. Due to its youthful, friendly atmosphere, it
attracts people between the ages of 18 and 25. Dürer houses
concerts of various genres and DJ-performances, and also has a
gravelly garden with tables suited for world-changing chats over a
few beers. The garden stage also houses concerts, so you can
basically dance wherever you want to. The only disadvantage we
can mention regarding Dürer Kert is its location, since it is quite
far away from the downtown area - although you shouldn’t let that
deprive you of the Dürer Kert-experience!
