Budapest, or the "Charme of the Danube"! This was my second trip with my friend Ian from New Zealand. After being together to Prague, Czech Republic, we didn't resist to visit Budapest too. And we didn't regret it! Budapest, also known as the "Paris of the East" has so much to see and to do! Although we've stayed at the Pest side of the city, Buda was our favorite place with its green hills and the old town.

We really enjoyed the Castle Mount (Várhegy) with the Church of Matthias (Mátyás templom), the Fishermen's Bastion (Halászbástya) and the Royal Palace (Várpalota or Királyi Vár). Otherwise, on the Pest side we enjoyed the Millennium Monument at the Heroes Square as well as the Parliament building (Országház) or the Opera House (Operaház) where we assisted the World Première "Anna Karenina" ballet in three acts on the basis of Lev Tolstoy's novel with Peter Ilyich Tschaikowsky's compositions!

We also have visited the Ferenc Liszt Memorial Museum that was a very interesting one. Oh well... finally, the night promenades at the riverside Korzó with the views in shimmering gold of Gellért Hill and Castle Hill directly across the Danube were also very exciting!...
