The city has a vast number of historic buildings and monuments. One of the nicest views of Budapest is to be seen from this mountain. It was named after Bishop Gellert, who played a great role in the spreading of Christianity within Hungary. The Citadel was built at the top of the mountain in the 19th century in order to observe the city underneath. From the
terraces of this fortress a wonderful view opens to the city, which is further enhanced by the stationary telescopes installed along the walls of the
terraces; balustrades. The Statue of Liberty commemorates the liberation of the country from the Nazis; rule. There are several thermal
baths operating at the foot the Gellert Mountain, e.g. Rac
Bath, Rudas
Bath and Gellert
Bath. Buda Castle - Royal Palace. The Royal Palace is situated on the southern side of the Castle Hill. The palace originally built during the Middle Ages was almost completely ruined under the Turkish conquest. The baroque style palace reached its present form during the 17th-19th centuries. The Palace accommodates several cultural institutions and museums (Szechenyi Library, Hungarian National Gallery, Contemporary Art Museum - Ludwig Collection, Budapest History Museum). Buda Castle - Castle District. Buda Castle District is considered to be the most characteristic esplanade area of Budapest owing to its charming streets, old buildings, gas-lamps and wonderful monuments. The area located between the Disz Square and the Matthias Church is populated with medieval buildings, 17th century baroque and copf-style palaces. A unique characteristic of the district is provided by the;sitting bays; at the gateway of the houses, which were most probably used by the attendants of guests visiting the house. The Castle District has countless interesting exhibitions too, such as the Museum of Military History, Golden Eagle Pharmacy Museum, Hungarian Trade and Catering Museum, Medieval Jewish Tabernacle, Museum of Telephony and Museum of the History of Music. Ruszwurm Confectioner;s established in the 19th century is to be highlighted out of the many other excellent
restaurants, where guests are surrounded by contemporary and authentic
furniture, and served with famous desserts prepared according to original recipes. Buda Castle - Trinity (Szentharomsag) Square. The Statue of the Holy Trinity, the old Townhall of Buda and the Matthias Church, as well as the House of Hungarian Wines are situated in this square that is the
centre of the Castle District. Buda Castle - Fishermen's Bastion. The bastion located next to Matthias Church was built in 1905 in the place of a former medieval fish market. The purpose was to close the Castle District and to ornament the panorama to be viewed from the Pest side. This famous cityscape was registered on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1988. Buda Castle - Matthias Church. The church is almost of the same age as the Royal Palace. The church that was originally built in the 13th century was reconstructed many times during the centuries. The Turks occupied Buda in 1541 and transformed the church into a jami mosque, as a consequence of which its original frescos were whitewashed. Matthias Church reached its current form in the 19th century, when it was last reconstructed in neo-Gothic style. Its interior walls are covered by biblical scenes and by paintings of the most important events of Hungarian history. The acoustics of the church is remarkable; therefore it often serves as the location of concerts. Buda Castle - Mary Magdalene Tower. The former presidial church was ruined during World War II, only the church tower survived, which is operated today as a miradore. Carrillon is played in the tower every half hour of the day. Buda Castle - Labyrinth Caves. Under Buda Castle District there are several kilometre long labyrinths and labyrinth systems to be found. Currently, visitors are admitted to the section called Buda Castle Labyrinth, which invokes the spirit of historic times. BETWEEN BUDA AND PEST. The most spectacular bridges of Budapest:; Chain Bridge (Lanchid),; Elisabeth Bridge (Erzsebet hid),; Liberty Bridge (Szabadsag hid),; Margaret Bridge (Margit hid). The green spot of Margaret Island is located in the middle of River Danube, between Margaret Bridge and Arpad Bridge. The peaceful environment of its park makes the island a pleasant location for walks, sports and spare time activities. The visitors of Margaret Island are to find a rich diversified flora, ruins of monasteries, a water tower, a well-known open-air
swimming pool (called Palatinus), an outdoor theatre and sports grounds. Cars are admitted to the
parking at the northern end of the island only. Scheduled buses provide the means of transportation on the island. The
centre of downtown Budapest is comprised by Vorosmarty Square and Vaci Street. The illustrious Confectionary Gerbaud and the fashionable Art
Cafe are also located in this square, which are both very popular with foreign visitors. Vaci Street is the most well-known pedestrian precinct in Budapest dotted by cafes,
restaurants and boutiques. Another popular pedestrian precinct is the Duna promenade extending from the Chain Bridge to the Elisabeth Bridge on the Pest side. Another famous show-place located in downtown Budapest is the Vigado Concert Hall, where once artists like Franz Liszt, Wagner, Richard Strauss, Bartok and Kodaly gave concerts. Saint Stephen's Basilica. The capital;s largest church (accommodating 8500 persons) was built for 60 years starting from the middle of the 19th century. The construction of the church was influenced by two artistic periods, classicism and eclecticism. The memory of the eponym, King Stephen, who founded the Hungarian State and converted the country to Christianity, is captured in the church by many exceptional works of art. The dome of the basilica offers a unique, 360 degree panorama of Budapest at the height of 65 metres. Access to the dome is mainly facilitated by elevators. The construction of the eclectic-style building of the Parliament was finished at the turn of the 20th century, and it soon became the symbol of Budapest and the Duna panorama. Its countless little towers and the jagged stone ornaments make the building one of the most attractive structures of the city. This is one of the largest parliament buildings in the world. Visitors enter the buildings between commanding statues of stone lions, and may access the dome hall by ornamental staircases, which is the venue of the highest level governmental receptions. The two symmetrical side-wings of the building start from this point, and used to accommodate the Lower and the Upper Houses of Parliament. The interiors of the Parliament and its exquisite decoration guarantee that the visit to the building will become a long-lasting experience. The Holly Crown of Hungary and the crown jewels are kept in the Parliament. Visitors are admitted to the building. Budapest's largest and most imposing covered market was built at the end of the 19th century. It is a very busy and buzzing market even today, which is worth visiting, as it provides an actual snapshot of everyday life in Hungary. With its capacity of 3,000 persons it is the largest active synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world. It was built in the middle of the 19th century in romantic style for the Pest congregation of some 30,000 members, most of whom lived in this area of the city. Its enormous hall is supported by cast
iron pillars and arches, the use of which was considered an extraordinary innovation at the time. The Jewish Museum is to be found next door. Hungarian National Museum.
