Wow I've been falling behind! I'll try to catch up in the next few days.
In this post - Budapest! I visited more than a month ago. The river Danube runs right through the middle of the city, dividing it into two main parts - Buda and Pest, easy to remember, no? This is the parliament building across the Danube.
On the Buda side you can spend many hours (probably days) exploring the Castle Hill area. Here's a part called the Fisherman's Bastion:
The hill also houses the Hungarian National Gallery (which I went in and would definitely recommend):
The area includes many streets you can walk around to look at pretty buildings, eat at somewhat expensive restaurants, and also enjoy great views of other parts of the city:
Outside the Castle Hill there's plenty to do in the city too. For example, this small square on the Pest side:
Some metro stations are very deep (the escalators seem to go on forever):
Like any city, you'll see graffiti in places (like this pedestrian tunnel):
Finally, here's a link to the entire album:
Next stop - Prague.
