Day One
Castle District
Spend your first morning in Budapest on Castle Hill, taking in the views from the
Royal Palace
and establishing the lay of the land. There are museums aplenty up
here, but don't be greedy: you only have time for one. We recommend either the
Hungarian National Gallery
for fine art or the renovated
Museum Castle
for a painless in-
troduction to the city's long and tortuous past.
Lunch
Have a quick bite at the upbeat self-service
Vár Bistro
overlooking
Dísz tér.
Castle District
In the afternoon ride the
Sikló
(funicular) down to
Clark Ádám tér
and, depending
on the day of the week and your sex, make your way up Fő utca to the
Király Baths
for a relaxing soak.
Dinner
Superb
Csalogány 26
is around the corner from the baths.
Castle District
Depending on your mood, check to see what's on in the way of
táncház
(folk music
and dance) at the Marczibányi tér Cultural Centre just north of Széll Kálmán tér or
head for stylish Oscar American Bar south of the square for cocktails and canned mu-
sic.
