Sip your way through 60 different wines from Hungary's 20 wine regions, ranging from the dry whites of Etyeki to seductively sweet (and pricier) Tokaji vintages. Read explanations in Hun [...]

Libegő
The chair lift (or Floater, as it literally translates) is a great way to visit the Buda hills without too much effort. From there you can stroll through nature and climb up the Erzsebet lookout tower which provides stunning views of the surrounding hills. You’re also just a 20 minute walk from the Children’s railway, another ‘must do’ on a beautiful summer’s day. Take Bus 158 from Moszkva tér (Map Ref. E-2) to the end stop where you’ll find the chair lift station. [...]

The Big Market
Situated on the Pest side of the Szabadság Bridge, the Big Market (as it is known), is a remarkable building which should not be missed. Had Jesus embraced the idea of trading inside the house of God, cathedrals around the world would probably look like this. Planned by Gustav Eiffel (yes... the ma [...]
