Budapest
We arrived in Budapest by bus instead of our ship, and we had to get up and out extra early to do it. The main entry on the ship was full of luggage tagged for people going to the airport, to the official hotel in Budapest, or to a drop-off for those going their own way. As usual, three ships were at the dock; ours was the furthest. The main entries for the ships usually don't line up well, so we passengers had to go up to the top deck and cross from ship to ship there, then down to the entry of the last ship and up the ramp to shore. In the meantime, the staff was doing a bucket brigade with the luggage between ships, lifting them over all the railings. Then we had to wait at our bus for our luggage to arrive and identify it before loading it. It all happened in what looked a bit like chaos but on time and amazing efficiently, no thanks to the passengers.
Our drop-off in Budapest was only a few blocks from our apartment and we had arranged an early arrival there, so we could walk directly there and let ourselves in. In line with our individual inclinations, Cathie wanted a nap after that morning, and I wanted a walk. The main market was about a mile away, PERFECT!
There was a pedestrian street that covered most of the distance. Budapest has many miles of beautiful pedestrian streets with stone paving blocks lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. So it's a lovely walking city. The cafes, bars and restaurants were all busy and a lot of people on the street.
The whole pedestrian street and many more is paved with stone tiles. They were paving the side streets around it.
It takes a lot of labor compared to concrete, but looks so much better!
The manhole covers in these areas are also beautiful with a bronze finish.
There are also monuments and statues all through the city.
The whole effect is a very inviting atmosphere.
I think a big difference between Europe and the US is people here expect to walk, and enjoy walking. Most Americans want to drive to a store and then drive to the next store. Even the big shopping malls are dying, because people don't want to walk. I love to walk so it is a real pleasure to be somewhere that is designed for walkers!
We were learning more modern local history and much of Budapest was run down and in bad shape until the early 1990's. If so, they have made an amazing transformation in 30 years.
The market building is impressive.
Inside many of the stalls are selling tourist goods, of course, but there are still plenty of places selling fruits and vegetables.
I bought an onion and a pepper, eggs, and some mushrooms thinking of omelets for breakfast. I also got some fruit and bread and spotted a vendor selling dried and candied fruit. I've been thinking that it's been a while since we made fruitcake, in part because the fruit has gotten harder to find. So I went back the next day and bought a load.
The buildings from the late 1800's to early 1900's are the stars of the urban landscape here. But many of the modern buildings are also handsome.
A big question in my mind has been how to get around, since Cathie can't walk as far as she used to. We discussed local transit and the Hop-On/Hop-Off buses. I took a trip across town using the local transit app. I was fairly confused. I knew I needed to start at one transit station and the number of the subway line, or was it the bus, or maybe the tram? There is a small icon of a vehicle, but on my phone, I could not tell them apart. I assumed that it was the subway. It looked like the color of one of the subway lines. But I couldn't find one that had the destination station. So I went back up top and found that it was also the end station for some of the tram lines and one tram line matched up. After that, it worked fine. I'm still not sure if the online ticket I bought and validated at the subway station was valid for the tram. Another problem with transit is while the subway may be efficient, you do not see the city at all!
I decided that all might be confusing for Cathie and got tickets for the HO/HO buses. The first one we took was terrible: the motor was so loud we couldn't hear a thing and the inside of the bus smelled of diesel fumes. The woman making the announcement is incomprehensible to us. The stairs to the top were closed. When we got on, and only later figured out that there was another one in the back.
When we got off and then caught a later bus it was much newer, quieter, and didn't stink, also the announcer was much better.
The other trouble with the HO/HO buses is they run in a loop, in one direction only. So to go to a place and back would mean doing the whole loop again.
My conclusion was that the thing to do is to spend more time figuring out the public transit options and operations. If the trams or buses work for your destinations it's the best option. The HO/HO buses are only for those who do not want to do that.
We didn't do much in the way of churches and museums. Cathie didn't have the energy and I didn't have enough interest. But St. Stephen's Basilica was just a couple of blocks away, so we went.
The pavement in front was incredible. It was mosaic like that in Roman churches, but outside!
Like much of Budapest, it was built between 1850 and 1905. So it's not ancient. But 150 years of Ottoman rule will really constrict your church building.
We went on the roof and had a great view across the city.

Buda Castle District & Night Cruise on the Danube River - Budapest, Hungary
We started the day off by climbing up the hill to the Fisherman’s Bastion in the Castle District. It was a steep set of stairs and ramps, but we quickly forgot all of that when we reached the top. The plaza is expansive and the views are amazing! Pictured above is the statue of St Stephen and pictured below are the spires of Fisherman’s Bastion.
We had a lovely, partly cloudy day for our photos from the Castle District. Pictured below is the view looking toward Margrit Island and the Parliament Building.
There is a lot to see in the Castle District and it is a HUGE tourist destination. We had to be patient with the crowds and waiting our turn to take pictures - we are a bit exhausted by all of the “posing” that seems to be required when people are taking their pictures!
Matthias Church with its beautiful tiled roof - it dominates the square it is located in.
The Holy Trinity Column Statue built to commemorate the people of Buda who died from the Black Plague.
Church of St. Mary Magdalene tower and remains, the church was built between the 13th and 15th centuries.
National Archives of Hungary, another beautifully tiled roof - the picture does not do it justice.
Our journey through the Castle District continued along the northern perimeter. We stayed up on the terraced portion, which was away from the crowds on the plaza and provided us with great views of the surrounding areas. There were several statues and monuments on the terrace, as well as safety warnings!
After a lovely walk on the terrace, we rejoined the crowds at the plaza next to the Buda Castle. We made our way to the overlook and managed to get a spot to take in the views. Spectacular!
Gates to the Buda Castle plaza.
Statue of Turul, Hungary’s mythical bird that “ravaged the grandmother of Arpad and impregnated her, thus establishing the Turul as the progenitor of Hungary’s first reigning dynasty”. You can thank Cityseeker for that description!!
Danube River, Margit Island Bridge, and Parliament Building from the Castle District.
The famous Chain Bridge on the Danube River.
I am posting this picture because I love the sky in it and the panoramic view.
The Buda Castle is a ginormous complex, we wandered around for at least an hour without going inside of the castle. Inside the castle are several museums and displays, we opted not to enter any of them. It is free to wander around the grounds, each museum/entrance to the building required a fee.
The Royal Riding Hall, which is located in the Csikos courtyard.
A shot of the front of the Buda Castle, just a small section of the entire complex. There is a museum located in this portion of the castle.
Statue of Prince Eugene of Savoy.
A view through the ivy-covered trellis along the steps, as we descended from the Castle District down to the promenade.
Cave Church, located along the promenade on the Buda side of the river.
Szabadsag hid or Liberty Bridge, it spans the Danube River at the southern end of the City Centre.
We crossed the bridge to reach the Central Market Hall. We had hoped to find a place to eat lunch there, but we didn’t find anything that really appealed and it was extremely crowded - not really a place to sit down to eat. We enjoyed walking through the market and checking out all the different displays. Lots of paprika, alcohol, and pretty vegetables to look at!
We then wandered north from the market and found a tiny little cafe and had ourselves a little hummus and veggies for lunch, loved this sign from the cafe:
After lunch, we went back to our Airbnb and rested for a bit - we had a night cruise on the Danube scheduled in the evening, which didn’t start until 8:45!!
Our river cruise started from Dock 11 on the Pest side of the Danube. We cruised downriver first, passing the Liberty Bridge and all of the people lined up on it to view the sunset (pictured below).
Liberty Bridge lined with sunset watchers.
The Whale - a shopping and cultural center on the Pest side of the river.
Budapest University of Technology and Economics on the Buda side of the river.
Liberty Bridge and the Liberty Statue on Citadel Hill.
Buda Castle (above and below, because I couldn’t choose which picture I liked the best).
Matthias Church and Fisherman’s Bastion.
Chain Bridge, lit up with the colors of the Hungarian flag.
The Parliament Building, as we approached.
The Parliament Building, a sparkling jewel - the perfect end to a lovely cruise on the Danube.
