From the old women selling boxes of raspberries in the heart of downtown Pest, cars careen- ing by on all sides, to the young boys playing soccer in the green foothills of Buda, where the air is fresh and clean, this city and its people take you in and hold you tight. Budapest is a remarkable and yet wholly unpretentious place. Explore it fully. Turn off any of the main boulevards and you’ll quickly find yourself in a quiet residential neighborhood. The rich scent of a hearty gulyás (stew) wafts from a kitchen window. A woman with a brightly colored kerchief tied about her head sweeps the sidewalk with a homemade broom. Cigarette smoke fogs the cavelike entryway of the corner pub, and the sign on the door states that beer is served as early as 7am. Rows of salamis hang in the window of the grocery store next door. In the park across the way, men play chess in the shade of chestnut trees, young lovers kiss on a bench, and the famed Hungarian pedigree dog, the vizsla, can be glimpsed darting through the trees. Below, you’ll find our personal take on the best experiences the city has to offer. 1 Favorite Little Adventures The many grand attractions of the city gossiping, and watching the chil- are all described in this book, and are dren race around the yard, dodg- certainly worth a visit.
