Budapest / District 5 area

The centre of the centre in Budapest.
The location is fantastic: main street (this does not affect your sleep though) so convenient for everything from shopping (outside!) , to wandering down to the Danube (50 metres). The metro line is 1 min walk away, the Tram n.2, the most famous, down on the building, and is very very efficient so is easy to get anywhere else.
You can wander over to the castle district in 15 mins and it is a beautiful walk, especially all lit up at night! That's the main street of Budapest, Pedestrian zone, and the best place for an hliday in this city!

There are many attractions to see here(walking distance!):
Váci Street (Váci utca)
The heart of Budapest is Váci Street between Vörösmarty Square and Elizabeth
Bridge. The street gained its status in the mid-19 th century when the
original small buildings and shops were replaced by neo-Classical and
Eclectic apartments, department-store, international trade-centre and hotel
located here, making Váci Street another Symbol of Budapest.

Vörösmarty Square
This square has been one of the central spots in downtown Budapest since the
early 19 th century. Originally called Promenade Square, it was renamed
Theatre Square after the German Theatre which was situated there, and later
it became Gizella Square. Since 1908 the square has been called Vörösmarty
Square, after the great Hungarian poet of the 19 th century. An
Eclectic-style palace houses the famous Confectionery "Gerbaud".

The Central Market Hall
The building, raised in 1895-97 according to plans by Samu Petz, was long
the biggest Market-Hall in the city. Today it attracts shoppers for its
spaciousness and architectural decor. At the end of the last century several
Market-centres were built with similarly decorative ironwork and huge glass
surfaces. They combined function and aesthetics at the highest technical
level of the time. The Market Halls operate even today.

The Millenary Monument
The spectacular ensemble of statues erected to commemorate the thousandth
anniversary of the Magyar Conquest is situated at the end of Budapest's most
beautiful avenue (Andrássy Street). The monument was designed by Albert
Schickedanz and Fülöp Herczog. Many of the statues representing Hungarian
Monarchs and Princes of Transylvania were made by György Zala. At the centre
of the Monument there is a column surrounded by seven figures - leaders of
the seven Hungarian tribes.

The Opera House
The construction of the Opera, completed in 1884, was executed according to
plans by Miklós Ybl. An ornate interior and exterior in the neo-Renaissance
style serves the needs of the metropolis. Fine art works from leading
Hungarian artists decorate the building. The technical equipment was
supplied by the Austrian Asphaleia Company. The Opera House was renewed on
the occasion of the 100 th anniversary of its opening.

St. Stephen's Basilica
Though Budapest's biggest cathedral is not a basilica in the architectural
sense tradition and the authority bestowed by the Pope have earned it this
denotation. Its construction was begun in the neo-Classic style but later
modified by Miklós Ibl according to architectural models from the Italian
Renaissance. Dedicated in 1905, with a dome 96 m high Basilica holds up to
8500 persons. St. Stephen's statue of Carrara marble by Alajos Stróbl stands
in the Sanctuary.

The Synagogue in Dohány Street
The Synagogue of Pest is one of the most beautiful and largest in Europe.
The Austrian Ludwig Förster was commissioned to design the building which
was erected between 1854 and 1859, and displays Romantic and Morisco motifs.
The three flat-celling halls of the Synagogue are of equal height. The
celling and women's gallery are supported by cast-iron columns, testifying
for the structure's advanced technical level. Heroes' Chapel was raised
behind the Synagogue in 1931, and the Jewish Museum in 1932.

Danube Embankment
Construction of the quay at the Pest end of the Chain Bridge began in the
1860s, when sandy and shoaly sections of the quay were embanked.
Eclectic-style hotels were erected here not much later. With the new
promenade (Korzó) the former neo-Classical city-scape was changed. Together
with most of the hotels the Korzó was destroyed in 1944-45. The only
surviving hotel was the Bristol, which in 1969 was replaced by the Hotel
Marriott. To the north the Intercontinental Hotel was raised in the early
1980s.

Pest Concert Hall
On the site of today's Vigadó in Pest the Redoute-building once stood, the
first and very significant work of Mihály Pollack, the architect of the
Hungarian National Museum. Between 1848 and 1849, at the time of the War of
Independence, the first Chamber of Deputies sat in this building which drove
General Hentzl, the commander of the Austrian troops in Buda, to destroy
this beautiful palace. Between 1859 and 1864 Frigyes Feszl reerected the
Redoute in the Romantic style. It is one of the finest pieces of Romantic
architecture in Europe.

The Hungarian National Museum
The Museum was built in 1847 according to plans by Mihály Pollack. Treasures
of Hungarian history, including the coronation insignia are displayed here.
The staircase of the Museum is adorned by the frescoes of famous Hungarian
painters. In the garden, besides the statues of eminent representatives of
Hungarian culture, are ancient relics, such as the column from the Forum
Romanum. The museum is also one of the symbols of the War of Independence of
1848-49.

The Museum of Fine Arts
To the left of the Millenary Monument stands the Museum of Fine Arts by
architect Albert Schickedanz. The neo-Classical building was raised in 1906
and is one of the last great structures in the Hungarian Historic style. The
Museum was founded with donations of collections, foremost from the
Eszterházy family. The Museum later enlarged its collection with further
acquisitions. Most notably, the "Old Picture Gallery" holds masterpieces by
Spanish painters like Murillo, El Greco and Goya. It contains also a special
Egyptian exhibit.

City Park
In the Middle Ages, this former marshy region was notable for the Diets held
there on St. George's Day. The drainage of the swamp and the building up of
this territory began in the 19 th century, and soon the park became a
popular resting-place. This park lived its most glorious days during the
Millenial Exhibition in 1896 commemorating the Magyar Conquest. The "Castle
of Vajdahunyad" was built for the Millennial Exhibition by Ignác Alpár to
illustrate the most beautiful buildings in the history of Hungarian
architecture.

Zoo
The Zoo, established and opened in 1866, was enlarged in 1912, when many new
animal-houses were built, which today are still the Zoo's most significant
pieces of architecture. The main entrance and the elephant-house, richly
decorated with ceramics, were made by Kornél Neuschloss. Károly Kós, the
outstanding writer and architect who was one of the most important
representatives of Hungarian Art Nouveau, also designed some pavilions here.
The hippopotamus "Dynasty" living in a thermal pond, is known throughout the
world.

Széchenyi Bath
The largest thermal bath of Budapest. The neo-baroque baths were built in
1913. Its thermal springs were discovered in 1879 - they are the deepest and
warmest thermal wells in Budapest. It is a vast complex of indoor and
outdoor pools, the premier medicinal bath of Pest, situated in the middle of
the City Park.

Gellért Bath
The best-known and most prestigious thermal bath and swimming-pool of
Budapest with its famous sparkling bath, open-air pool with artificial wawes
and full medical services. It was built in 1918, near Gellért Hill and the
Szabadság Bridge. The Art-Nouveau main hall is topped by a vaulted glass
roof. The gallery surrounding the pool is supported by monumental
Roman-style columns. The spa is decorated with a wealth of original
Art-Nouveau furnishings, artistic mosaics, sculptures, and stained glass
windows.

Margit Island
This two-and-a-half kilometer long island, one of the popular resting-places
in Budapest, got its name after Princess Margaret who lived here in a
convent in the 13 th century. The island was inhabited from the 12 th
century. Dominicans and Franciscans established monasteries here. From the
late 18 th century it became a summer resort for aristocrats and later for
the upper middle-class. Medicinal thermal baths and fine restaurants attract
thousands of tourists each year.

Inner City Parish Church
This is the oldest building in Pest, located just nearby the Elizabeth
Bridge. The original 12 th century Roman-style church was largely destroyed
in the Tartar invasion. Its 14 th century Gothic replacement was seized by
the Turks and it was used as a mosque. Following a fire it was rebuilt in
Baroque style in 1723, but the interior has also neo-Classical features.

Citadel
It is a white-stoned fortress from the 19 th century on the top of Gellért
Hill, crowned by the 14 m tall Liberation Monument, a striking statue of a
woman holding a palm leaf of victory. The fortress was built in 1851 by the
Austrians as a symbol of their power over the Hungarians after the 1848-49
Revolution and War of Independence. The Monument was raised by the Russians
in 1947. You can enjoy from here a wonderful panorama of the whole city.

National Theater
The old National Theater (1837) was destroyed in the 2nd WW. During a long
period a "temporary" building served as a national theater. In March 2002
the new extravagant and eclectic theater opened its gate for the public. It
has a wonderful garden.


Lots of great restaurants and bars to dine out in for those who love to really get into the cultural scene.

This city has everything to offer, whether you are visiting for a romantic break or for the lively night life. Don't miss out on the holiday of a lifetime.
