Budapest Question

Budapest Question.

Hi everyone.
Will be visiting Budapest then Vienna and on to Prague in April. I
visited Prague in Jan this year (please see my trip report for the first
two days of the visit at http://djmp.co.uk/prague/ ) Booked for 5
nights in Budapest at the Agro Panorama 54 NORMAFA ÚT,
I will ,over the next few weeks, be asking your advice about Vienna and
Budapest: but my first few questions are


a) I have read three guide books about the city and have planned the sites I
think I want to see: but anyone willing to give me ( in their opinion) the 2
must see attractions.

b) Not into swimming or bathing : but can one go into the Baths just to take
photographs of the architecture

c)Am I right in saying that the "Children's Railway" is run by children but
adults are also welcome to travel.


Kind regards

You should write to ask about it. When we were
at the Szechenyi baths last August there were metal signs screwed to the
wall in the foyer indicating that photography was not allowed.

I was just thinking that myself, as I noticed the signs when we were
there last year.

Same goes for the Rudas baths.

Too bad the OP is not interested in getting wet; visiting one of the
baths is definitely at the top of my list of Budapest "must do's"!

I'd also spend a day wandering around the Budavar (castle district).
Lots of excellent museums, art galleries, old architecture, etc. There
are spectacular views of the city from up there, and it is lit up
beautifully at night. Bring a camera and tripod for some nice night
shots.

I assume you mean Szentendre? Quite nice place indeed.
