the "alternative" places to see
によるポスト Adrian B に ブダペスト フォーラム
Hi! In Budapest, some must see places:
- Szimpla kert / Pótkulcs / Kuplung / Corvin Tető etc. ; these are the so-called "romkocsma", pubs made from buildings slated for demolition. A true Budapest delicacy.
- Any of the baths other than Gellert (which is the most touristy one). Szecheny is the most grandiose one. Smaller, more intimate are Király (turkish), Lukács (a taste of commie retro), and Rudas (weekend disco parties in the summer).
- Normafa (if you have more than a few days in Bp) You can take the "Fogaskerekű" train up the hill to get there. Spectacular view of the city and surrounding hills from János hegy. Nice restaurant / lodge, lángos, etc.
