Budapest - Hungary


You havn't been to Budapest if you don't go to The Castle District. Also near here is the National gallery which is lovely. You'll find all the buildings beautifully preserved. Definately pay a visit to one of the baths, and give yourself most of a day here as you'll be so relaxed afterwards you won't want to do anything else.
