Fisherman's (apartment)

Home description

This is a centrally located two bedroom courtyard apartment that is ideal for couples, friends and families alike. With all the facilities you might require from hair dryer to a washer dryer.
Throughout the apartment you will find plenty of storage space for your luggage and belongings. There is cable television with international channels to help you unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The fitted kitchen is reached a few steps up from the sitting and dining area enabling you to self cater at what ever level suits you, be it fresh rolls for breakfast or spit roasting a chicken.
There is a supermarket with café facilities, cash point etc just 5 minutes walk along the Danube next to the Metro, bus and tram. It is a perfect and charming base from which to explore Budapest. You can explore the Buda side of the capital on foot or take a tram or metro to anywhere in the city. For the cost of about ₤10, a weekly ticket allows you to use all forms of public transport. Tram 6 is a great circular route to see the city through the eyes of the locals, there is no better way to soak in the atmosphere and see some of the many fascinating sites. The weekly ticket allows you to just hop on and off whether to visit an attraction or just wile some time away watching the world go by over a coffee and a pastry or an ice cold beer.
Up behind the apartment, you will find the famous Castle District and Matthias Church along with some spectacular views from the Fisherman's Bastion. Some pleasant restaurants and cafes provide refreshments and on a hot day the cool underground “Labyrinth” is worth a visit.
One thing not to be missed whilst here are the world famous thermal baths, from the classical architecture of the Gellert Baths to the Original Rudas Turkish Bath (circa 1566) just ten minutes from the apartment, these subterranean waters packed full of beneficial minerals are a lot more than just a hot soak. Follow this up with a massage for around ₤10 and you will be so relaxed that an evening meal in the Paris Garden restaurant below the apartment will be all that you need to round off the day.
In addition to many pretty sites including the colourful market and outstanding parliament buildings. Budapest is also full of cool parks and Margit Island situated in the middle of the Danube, provides a green haven to stroll or cycle through.

The Central Hungary/Danube region

Sitting right in the centre of Europe for over 1000 years, Hungary has been influenced by many diverse cultures, absorbing the richness of the Turks, the architecture of the Habsburgs as well as the 50 years within the Russian influence in addition to its own extensive traditions.
For an alternative day out, 30 miles North-west of Budapest there is the ancient City of Esztergom, with its magnificent Basilica standing proudly by the Danube and overlooking the Slovakian town of Sturovo. A 5 minute stroll over the Maria Valeria Bridge re-opened in 2001 after its destruction in 1945 takes you into yet another country and with more sites and sounds (and cheap shopping!).
After an exploration of the sites, you can retire to the newly opened thermal complex that has everything from pools and water slides to Turkish baths and a full range of therapies and beauty treatments. For kids as well as adults there is a super little museum all about the River Danube, its management and resources.
In fact with all this to do and see you might wish to stay for a night in our apartment just 10 miles outside of this historic city up in the cool hills of the Pilis (pronounced pillish) mountain range. This ecologically unique area is home to many species of birds and is rich in the natural flora of its limestone habitat. With gorge walks and caving, horse riding or just taking a stroll to one of the several to natural springs enjoying the some of the fresh mountain air, before returning to the buzz of Budapest.

Budapest / District 1 area

Dentistry, beauty therapy and medical procedures are all available at much reduced prices, Dentistry has had a good reputation for years, with the Austrians, Swiss and Germans taking full advantage of it.
Beauty therapy includes permanent hair removal to just plain pampering, and although medical treatments are never something to be taken lightly, with some operations at around half the UK prices there are benefits to be had over and above a holiday.
Whilst we cannot recommend a specific dentist etc, if you wish to discuss some of these options we can certainly help bridge the confidence gap and assist you during your stay…

In addition to the sites mentioned, don't miss out on a river trip. Whether it is using the river taxis from Batthany Square (next to the Metro) or longer excursions up river to the pretty town of Szentendre with its artists and old charm or the hilltop castle of Visegrád, home to Hungary's mightiest medieval kings.
What Hungary lacks as a coastal beach, it more than makes up for it with its outdoor pool complexes, where you can find upwards of 5 pools, often including a thermal baths slides and wave machines together with cafés, bars for assorted snacks and meals.
An all day ticket is seldom more than a few pounds and they are large enough to ensure a quiet spot for a little sun worshipping, reading, resting or exhausting the kids.
Margit Island is a good place to start boasting two complexes in the middle of the Danube.
