We had the opportunity to take a short trip to Budapest last week and we were granted beautiful weather and some great site seeing. The city is actually two cities: Buda and Pest divided by the Danube River. Buda has the terrific castle hill, the citadella on top of Gellert hill and the famous Gellert Spa and Bath. Pest has great attractions like the Parliament, City Park with dozens of attractions including Heroes Square and the zoo - one of the best zoos we've every visited) and Saint Stephen's Basilica. In between there is the Chain Bridge and Margaret Park located on an island in the river. Hungary is famous for goulash, chicken paprika, a variety of yummy pastries (we tried the Palacsinta and the Rétes) and some terrific wine. Hungary has a long history including WWII and their time under communist rule. We had a great time wandering around this historic city - see the photos here!
