Budapest consists of Buda - the hilly, old town of the city, and Pest the commercial, flat part of the city. We explored the Castle district in Buda which is stunning and has fantastic views of the city, but actually doesn't possess a castle! We thought the view of the Parliament buildings was particularly impressive.
My friend Brian, lived about 2 blocks from Parliament.
Once we came down off the hill, we dealt with a couple of friendly Hungarians (sarcasm), then headed off to Statue Park. In Hungary, instead of blowing up all the Communist statues, they decided to keep them and move them to their own park. It was a strange place, but worth an hours visit. At the front gate they sell the CD boxset "Best of Communism" and have it blaring out! Amusing, but it would be hard to imagine living under the Communist regime. *Stub
