This is a series of towers and ramparts in the Buda Castle district. It gives amazing views, particularly across the Danube to the Pest side of the city.

Without planning, I went early evening and the colours looked wonderful in the setting sun.

Take the Metro to Moskva Ter, then the very frequent castle minibus to the castle district.

A reasonably priced and enjoyable restaurant on the Pest side and just south of the popular tourist areas.

Home-brewed beer, which you can have in litre sized glasses if you want (and at about £2.70 a litre at May 2007 exchange rates). Ask the band for your favourite tune.

A huge and elaborately decorated church in the centre of the city. Worth going for the views from the dome - there is a lift, ticket office just opposite as you go in.

You can also see the mummified hand of St Stephen and illuminate it by putting a 100 forint coin in the handy slot.
