Budapest Run and Walk

Budapest was the latest foreign city I got to visit this year. Again, I did not have enough time, but I got to at least visit many sites - with my morning runs and very quick tour by a guide.

This is the statue of Anonymus.  The tour guide told us that schools bring the first year students of elementary school to rub the pen the scary statue holds.  It is believed to make them studious.

I saw these people enjoying themselves on a Beer Bike.

The famous Chain Bridge - it is truly magnificent.

The view from Citadella - the river is of course the Danube.


The statue of Lajos Kossuth, Hungary's first Freedom Fighter.

Street Cars on Margaret Bridge.

Beautiful Parliament Building viewed across the Danube.

St. Stephen's Basilica was located very close from our hotel.


Female Sphynx at the Opera House.

Széchenyi Thermal Bath  - it is a natural hot spring enjoyed by many. 

A chain object in front of the House of Terror.

The House of Terror.  This city's history is filled with tough times.
