Huns and Vampires (HUNGARY )

Budapest - Hungary, 03/09/1998

The history of Hungary has much to do with the Huns , the Austro-Hungarian empire , and also with tales of vampires by proximity to Transylvania (we even saw a reproduction of Transylvania Castle).

We settled into a cabin in the Romai Camping (Szentendre ut 189) which is very close and requires taking a train (HEV ) to reach the center of city without having to walk in the truck.

A ticket for 24 hours for Metro of Budapest costs about $ 3. This is the second most Metro old Europe.

is a country that is not covered by insurance in Europe, so we had to recruit extra security border against third parties for $ 35.

The city has two parts separated by the Danube that joke may seem true, are called Buda and Pest . In reality there was a third city that was called Obuda, which disappeared when the three united to form Budapest .

Among the places visited Buddha : Matthias Church (Mátyás-templom , with a beautiful stained glass in the main altar), the Fishermen's Bastion (from where the fishermen defended the city by the year 1905), the Royal Palace Budavari Palota and the National Gallery of Art .

crossed the river Danube , advantage to enjoy the walk along the bridge of Chains (Szechenyi Ianchid ).

Across the Danube is the city of Pest with: the parliament building (which is one of the greatest legislative buildings Europe), the Basilica of San Esteban , as well as in the Varosliget Park (next to the park is the Heroes Square, Castle Vajdahunyad the Zoo , and Szechenyi thermal baths ).

At night, we bid farewell to Budapest with Hungarian beer (Kaiser ) in Anna Café (V. Váci utca 5).
