You can reach within minutes the main shopping street "Váci utca" and the National Museum. Extremely well positioned our location gives you all the freedom to choose the most convenient sights of Budapest that you wish to visit.
- Gellért Hill:
Only few metropolises in the world have in their centre a hill such as the Gellért enjoying nature protected status, in the depths of which are huge thermal water reserves used by three medicinal baths built at the foot of the hill: the country's most elegant spa, the Gellért thermal baths, jacuzzi and wave bath, swimming pool and strand, and two baths dating from the Turkish period, the Rudas and Rác Medicinal Baths with thermal, steam and tub facilities. A military fortress built on the crown of the hill in 1851, the Citadel, today serves as a platform for all-round panoramas of the city.
- Castle district:
Matthias Church (Church of Our Lady) with its pierced towers and tiled roof was for centuries the coronation church and site for many royal weddings. Rebuilding work in the early 19th century involved the age's most respected artists and professionals. There is a large ecclesiastical collection in the crypt (lapidarium, treasury, copy of the Holy Crown) and concerts are held here from spring to autumn. Fishermen's Bastion, a 7-pinnacle neo-Romanesque rampart raised on the medieval walls, affords stunning views across the city. The ruins of the Dominican Church of St Michael and monastery are nearby. Regular open-air performances are staged in the Dominican Courtyard. Two entrances to the Castle district: virtually every house on streets running between Bécsi Kapu Square and Dísz Square - Táncsics Mihály, Fortuna, Országház, Úri - as well as Tóth Árpád Walk are listed monuments built on medieval foundations; look out for the rare Gothic sedilia in the gateways. Castle Cave, 1.8 km of the 12-km cave network under Castle Hill, can be toured with a guide. The Military History Museum covers the history of Hungarian warfare, the Hungarian Museum of Commerce and Catering preserves memorabilia from bygone days, and the Medieval Jewish Prayer House shows how the Jewry of Buda lived. The Music History Museum in the Baroque Erdődy-Hatvany Mansion preserves a large collection of rare instruments as well as many manuscripts from the bequest of Hungarian composer Béla Bartók (1881-1945).
- Buda Castle Hill and surroundings:
The Royal Castle Palace, first raised in the 14th century and rebuilt in Baroque style 400 years later, was the official residence of Hungarian kings for 700 years. Today it is home to Budapest's busiest museums and galleries.
Hungarian National Gallery provides a cross-section of Hungarian art from the 10th century to today: medieval and Renaissance lapidarium, Gothic statues, panel paintings, winged altars, Renaissance and Baroque art, 19-20th century painting, sculpture and numismatics collection. The Habsburg Nádor crypt is also open to visitors. Budapest History Museum - permanent and temporary exhibitions revealing restored sections of the medieval royal palace of Buda, chapel, Gothic statues and the history of Budapest. The nation's largest library, the National Széchenyi Library, preserves medieval codices and the most comprehensive collection of King Matthias' "Corvina" volumes besides staging regular temporary exhibitions.
- Margaret Island:
Budapest's loveliest park runs between Margaret Bridge and Árpád Bridge for just about 2 kilometres. The green oasis in the heart of the city, is full of century-old trees, has a rose garden, and a Japanese Garden with thermal water lake and waterfall. The kid's favourites here include the small Game Park, Hajós Alfréd Sports Swimming Pool (scene for top watersports competitions) and the Palatinus Strand Baths. Margaret Island Open-air Stage at the foot of the Water Tower attracts hundreds to its summer music and theatrical performances. Ruins of Dominican and Franciscan churches and monastery date back seven centuries; the oldest bell in Hungary still rings in the belfry of the Premonstratensian chapel. There are minibus tours in summer and four-wheeler bikes (bringóhintó) are also a good way for the whole family to explore the island.
- Hungarian State Opera House:
The magnificent fruit of Hungary's most famed architect, Miklós Ybl, the Opera House has been the focus of music life in the capital since 1864. Guided tours take in the frescoed walls, magnificent auditorium for 1200 and backstage machinery. There are daily performances from September to July, in August it hosts the Budapest Opera and Ballet Festival and at the end of the year a glittering opera ball and New Year's concert.
