The Gellert Thermal baths that they keep going on about are closed from Oct 1, 2025 to 2028 so we cannot go. I think there are others like Szechenyl Thermal Baths – go early as they get busy during the day

Youtube suggestion:

1. The markets – food is expensive and the items are touristy and not very original. Nice building though
2. Liberty Bridge – green paint and classic design – yellow trains use it to cross the Danube
3. Coffee is good in Budapest. Chimney cake (not with fillings) are good
4. Walk down to the Danube promenade
5. The chain bridge was he first bridge to connect Buda with Pest to create Budapest
6. St Steven’s Basilica
   1. it has St Steven’s right hand – just what we wanted to see
   2. You can purchase tickets to go up into the dome to descover that there are actually 2 domes. Good views of the city from here as well. Tickets are expensive and there are 2 different tickets, so choose the dome only one – if you want to see that much.
7. The Parliament building apparently is good
   1. Purchase tickets before visiting
8. The Shoes on the bank of the Danube are a reminder of the Germans against the Jews in WWII
9. The Funicular is a funny looking tram that takes you to the Castle Palace. The bus is cheaper or you can walk
10. The Castle District looks like a good place to visit – not all buildings are genuine and old, there are some new one’s.
11. Budapest it the capital of Caves – join a cave walking tour
12. Hospital in the Rock – an underground hospital and then bunker
13. The Labrynth is a set of caves that are free to walk around. This does not replace the caves walking tour nor the hospital in the rock, they are just something differnt and free
14. Fishermans Bastion – you can pay money to access or wait until it closes as they leave all the doors open and its free
15. City park of Budapest – there is so much to do here if you like a zoo, library etc
16. Heroes Square – “Stuffed Cabbage Adventures” has videos on each and every statue (hero) that is in the Heroes Square.
