    The Perfect Weekend BUDAPEST Take a couple of days to explore the atmospheric streets of Hungary’s capital, finding tumbledown pubs, thermal baths and contemporary design shops nudging against grand civic buildings and the gloriously blue Danube. Wandering through, fill up on old Magyar favourites in a Soviet-style canteen or local produce from a farmers’ market WORDS AMANDA CANNING @amandacanning l PHOTOGRAPHS SARAH COGHILL @SarahCoghill1 TheThe doors of Margit are pulledjourney shut, its passengers huddled within, and the tiered, wooden funicular is hoisted up Castle Hill, clanking beneath two wrought-iron pedestrian bridges on its 95-metre journey. Opened in 1870, the Budavári Sikló funicular still exerts a particular pull on visitors to Budapest: you can’t come and not ride at least once in its burgundy carriages. Emerging at the top, people soon disperse – some stopping to take photos with the armed sentries guarding the presidential palace, others rummaging for lace in an antiques shop or stopping for a Borsodi beer on a cobbled square. All will end up at Fisherman’s Bastion, a fanciful, Neo-Gothic terrace, complete with turrets, and dragons hiding in the stonework. It’s worth jostling past the inevitable crowds to peer through the bastion’s open windows at the Danube and Parliament far below, before diving back into the quieter streets of Castle Hill and making your own discoveries. l Return journey on funicular £4 Fisherman’s Bastion, built in the TRAVEL ESSENTIALS BA, easyJet, Jet2.com, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Ryanair and Wizz Air fly to Budapest from the UK (from £70; wizzair.com).

  • Activities in Budapest Sights To
    Activities in Budapest Sights to see 1) The Buda castle A must-see for everyone who visits the Hungarian capital. Besides its romantic streets, shops and cafés, the castle includes famous buildings such as the Matthias Church, the Fisherman’s bastion, or the National Gallery. Bus 16 takes you up to the castle, but you can also decide to walk from Clark Ádám Square – or take the unique funicular from there. 2) Gellért hill Gellért Hill is one of the top tourist attractions of the city thanks to the magnificent panorama from the top of its cliffs facing the Danube. You can climb the hill from two sides: take the stairs by the waterfall at Elizabeth Bridge, or take the gradual, but somewhat longer pathway by the Gellért Bath. 3) St. Stephan’s Basilica Located near to Deák Ferenc Square, St. Stephan’s Basilica is one of the most beautiful and monumental churches of Hungary. Here is found the ‘Holy Right’, a mummified right hand dedicated to St. Stephan, the first king of Hungary. 4) Heroes Square and Városliget Heroes Square with the statues of the most famous figures of Hungarian history is among the most popular sights of Budapest. Beyond the Square lies Városliget, the big city park of Budapest, which also includes the Vajdahunyad castle and the Széchényi thermal bath. To get there, take bus 105 or Metro line 1 (Földalatti) from Deák Ferenc tér. 5) Opera House The Hungarian State Opera is the masterpiece of Miklós Ybl, one of the greatest Hungarian architects of all time. The Opera was opened in 1884.

We have already said „WAKO family” many times but now for the first time in the history of WAKO finally the whole family can come together since all six fighting disciplines and musical forms can compete together at one place. This even has a special significance in the life of WAKO but also a great challenge too to organize such a huge scale event successfully. The contract regarding the organization was signed by the leaders of WAKO and the Hungarian Kickboxing Federation during the memorable Budapest World Cup.

    "Best for Couples in Budapest" Realizzata per : Cityseeker 13 Posizioni indicati Rudas Baths "Beautiful Turkish Baths" At the base of Gellért Hill, a Turkish dome lets off occasional plumes of steam into the cold Hungarian outdoors, marking the spot of the famous 16th-century Rudas Baths. These stunning Turkish baths partially date back to the 1500s, with the exception of the pool that was only added in the 19th Century. The baths were the brainchild of the Ottomans, who by Varius harnessed the subterranean hot springs along the Danube to use them for traditional spa purposes. The baths were regularly employed by Sokollu Mustafa Pasha of the Ottoman Empire from the years 1566 to 1578, which was also when its popularity was at its highest. While the building is architecturally magnificent, replete with archways and octagonal pools, the waters are also very therapeutic. They provide relief to a whole range of symptoms and disorders, thanks to the rich reserves of magnesium, calcium, bicarbonates, and sulfates within. Besides traditional pools and sauna services, the complex is also equipped with sunbathing terraces, swimming halls, and drinking wells. +36 1 356 1322 www.rudasbaths.com/ Dobrentei ter 9, Budapest Gellért Hill "Hill of Attractions" Crowned by the Citadella, the Liberty Monument, and a statue of St. Gerard of Csanád for whom the hill is named, Gellért Hill is laden with mysteries and legends.
