The Blue Danube was immortalised in a waltz by Johann Strauss II and if you are in Budapest you should definitely try to experience the real thing. The Danube Bend offers an excursion into Hungary’s history with a tour along the “Blue Danube” stopping in Visegrád to walk on the 750 year-old stones of the formal Royal Residence, Esztergom to visit the largest cathedral in Hungary and Szentendre where you can wander through the baroque settlement, built on medieval ruins and go up the narrow streets to the panorama point to see the Danube.
Located underneath the cobbled castle district of Budapest is a 1200 metre labarinth of tunnels and small caves. This subterranean network was used as a shelter during World War II and now houses a maze of quirky artworks including the Ivy Grotto in which a fountain covered in ivy srouts red wine instead of water. You can also watch short films about the area and at night you can explore the caves by the light of oil lamps.
Budapest is famous for its healthy thermal spas which draw crowds of tourists every year. If you are only in the city on a layover this would be an ideal relaxing activity to help you pass the time. There are many different bath houses to choose from all of which offer spa treatments as well as the healing power of the thermal baths. So if you are feeling a little tense after you flight and want to wind down before the next one, head into town to one of the spas for some real pampering and revitalising.
