Today I will not talk about the societies which proposes some tours on the city, but about a journey to do. I had a friend who visited me this week-end, and the question was : if you had only one day to visit Budapest, what would you see ?
My journey starts at Keleti Pályaudvar (the Eastern railways station), because it's next to the accomodation, and the front on the building is beautiful to see.
From here, you can take the metro line 4 to Fővam tér and you are just next to the Great Covered Market (Központi Vásárcsarnok). You can buy some hungarian specialities (food, souvenirs...), etc...

After that, you can see the Liberty Bridge before going in the direction of the Buda Castle. By walking on the edge of the Danube, you will see one other famous bridge (the Elizabeth Bridge) before crossing the river on the Chain Brigde.

To go to the Buda Castle, you can use the funicular, or climb by the path on the hill. You can take a look at the district and, there is a bar in the Castle court, where you can drink a soda or a beer and sit for a moment before continuing the journey.

Now you can go back on the Chain Bridge and join the Parliament by tram or by walking on the street. You can enjoy the brand new Parliament square and sit on the benches around the building.

And to finish, you can join the Citadella to take some fabulous pictures, watch sunset and, if you are lucky, have a dinner on a terrace with a wonderful view for about 20-25 € per person.
