Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. Labyrinth of Buda Castle (Budavári Labirintus) http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17481
The 1,200 metre labyrinth of caves and tunnels open to the public was once the haunt of prehistoric man, and more recently served as an air raid shelter during the Second World War. What is on offer to visitors today is a nerve-testing series of delights, with the highlights including gargoyles projectile vomiting blood and a section called the 'Labyrinth of Courage' - a terrifying, pitch-black, 'hold on to a rope and edge forward a centimetre at a time' sort of experience.

Bear in mind that to a person of a nervous disposition the labyrinth might be considered a less than pleasurable excursion, but personally I found it to be one of the most original and exciting hours that I spent in Budapest.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17481 Városliget (City Park) http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10241
Next to this is a great amusement park (Vidám Park) with an old-fashioned feel which could well have have kept us amused for a full day, if we'd had the time. The wooden rollercoaster is great, even for our four year old. Do bear in mind that Hungarians have a more relaxed approach to health and safety that in the UK!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10241 The Labyrinth http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5025 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5025 Szechenyi Furdo http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5014
Worth a visit anytime of the year. Were it not for corpulent 50-something Hungarians wearing nothing but Speedos, this could possibly be my favourite place in the whole world.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5014 St Margaret's Island http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4557 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4557 Gellert Hotel and Spa http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4556 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4556 Náncsi Néni vendéglője http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1658
Somewhat out of the way it’s worth the effort getting there and is a wonderful place to eat when the courtyard garden is open for the long hot evenings of a Budapest summer and with food that’s ‘a hogy nagy mama főzött’ (just like granny cooked).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1658 City Park (Városliget) http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4961 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4961
