A shop and restaurant with an old frontage on Váci Street.


This Mercure property has a nice modern frontage with a bit of tradition with the statue adornments. It's also handily situated on Váci Street, so it's nice and near to the city centre in Pest.


Stairs leading to a Hungarian market below the ground.

As we moved through Váci Street, our guide had us stop at a Hungarian bakery to sample a Budapest delicacy called Kürtoskalács, which is also colloquially known as a stovepipe or chimney cake.

Parish church on the Pest side of Elisabeth Bridge, directly across from Gellert Hill.

As we made our way through another building and ended up at Elisabeth Bridge, we boarded one of the trams to make our way towards Parliament.
