Some places to visit nearby are:
- Fishermen's Bastion (Halászbástya)
The Fishermen's Bastion (designed by Frigyes Schluek) is made up of seven round towers - each one symbolizing the seven Magyar tribes that effectively gave rise to the nation a thousand years earlier. Almost fairytale like in appearance, its decorative white rampart and flowing staircases stretch alongside the eastern front of the Mátyás Templom. According to tradition, the area directly behind the church housed a local fish market during medieval times - hence the name of the Bastion. During the 18th century, the Guild of Fisherman are also said to have traditionally defended this part of the castle wall. The glorious views of Parliament and Pest beyond are simply breathtaking. In fact, there's arguably no finer place in Budapest to propose to your nearest and dearest, or go for a romantic stroll on a warm summer's night!
- Labyrinth/Catacombs of Buda Castle (Budavári Labirintus)
The labyrinth of caves and tunnels which stretch for over 10 kilometres beneath Castle Hill are said to have been joined together by the Turks during the middle ages for military purposes. In the 17th century, parts of the catacombs were used to store wine. More recently, the immediate area under Úri utca served as an air-raid shelter during World War II. Today, about 1.5 kilometres are open to the general public, with an area of the labyrinth set aside for a waxwork exhibition on early Hungarian history.
- Gellért Hill and Gellért Statue (Gellért Hegy)
Gellért Hill is the perfect vantage point to view central Budapest. At the summit are the Liberation Monument and Citadella. The hill itself is named after Bishop Gellért who had been invited by St. Stephen to help convert pagan Magyars to Christianity. As legend goes, in the wake of Stephen's death, Gellért met his untimely death after being toppled off the hillside in a barrel by militant heathens. His bronze statue (Gyula Jankovits 1904) stands on the spot where he was martyred. To reach the summit you can either climb the winding paths from the statue or Hotel Gellért, or catch a bus to the top. The panoramic views from the summit are unparalleled elsewhere in Budapest.
In case you are looking for shopping facilities you'll find out that opposite to Garzonhaz Apartments is the Mammut (I and II) Shopping and Entertainment Center offering several facilities. Opened in August 1998, Buda's Mammut is arguably the most successful of the capital's malls. Located near the busy transport hub of Moszkva tér, Mammut's glowing dome acts as a homing beacon to the many shoppers who arrive by metro. Although big name fashion and sport shops predominate, a good range of smaller outlets means that even the most discerning shoppers won't leave disappointed. A decent choice of cafés and restaurants on the upper floors (the swankiest of which is the café Miro MkII) also come in handy for taking a well earned rest. For technology junkies, the sprawling Murányi electrical store is probably the best of its kind in Budapest. |
