Budapest Mon Amour
by
I spent a week in Budapest in 2007. The Paris of Eastern Europe but more affordable. Stellar public transport. 1, 3, 7-day passes available. Public transport info at http://www.bkv.hu/english/home/index.html Sample a different metro route, tram or bus daily. Botel Lisa is dirt cheap & lovely & worth the bus & train trip to go into the city.

This is a fairly extensive artist village that is accessible by public transport from downtown Budapest. A pleasant place to spend an afternoon poking around.

On the Danube across from Margaret Island. Hungarian specialties & a lovely river view.

The best part of visiting the Buda Castle, a World Heritage Site, is the spectacular view of Budapest that it offers you.
