The Danube Palace is literally a two minute walk around the corner from the Four Seasons Gresham Palace and up the street from Saint Istvan's. We purchased tickets for the Symphony performance this past Saturday night. The venue is rather unusual as you go into what seems like a random building and up an elevator. It almost feels as though you're entering an office building or something. But, when you arrive, the room is intimate, old and beautiful! The peformance was so wonderful, lively and fun. The conductor and the musicians had so much FUN with the music and pulled you into it with them. We HIGHLY recommend a visit! Don't let symphony scare you. We found ourselves wanting the evening to last longer and a variety of selections was played. We saw three performances while in Budapest-a ballet, an opera and the symphony. This was our favorite!!

Take a swimming cap (or your hotel shower cap) as you need it for the communal baths. Perhaps worth booking a cabin (and you have to book a massage) with your hotel to make it easier. Also take flip flops to avoid burning your feet in the sauna! Dont be shy to explore. The separate men and women sections are vast. Mid week is a great time to experience the locals as they soak away their worries and chat in this majestic baths.

As we drive along the mountain roads we come across many little villages and resort areas, its well worth stopping in some of these if we have the time. If we go further we will arrive in the country's third largest city, Miskolc, which also has alot to offer t... (read more)
