布达佩斯7个不容错过的地方

布达佩斯, made up of two ancient cities – Buda and Pest -- is a one-of-a-kind city with stunning architecture, 充满活力的文化, 还有很多事要做. 当我旅行到这个美丽的城市, 那是二月初, but even the gray skies and cold weather couldn’t take away from the city’s natural beauty and welcoming atmosphere. I went to many of the well-known sites around the city and learned a lot about this unique country. 

Here are my top seven places you can’t miss when you 布达佩斯留学:

1. 〇免费徒步游 One of the first things I did in any city I visited while abroad was take a tour, 通常是免费的徒步旅行. Most cities will have free walking tours that take you around the city and show you the main sights while giving you some of the city's history. Walking tours are a great way to see a new place and learn more about where you are. The tour guides are also great sources of information on the best restaurants and places to go outside of the tour. 

2. 〇国会大厦 当我到布达佩斯的时候, one of the first things I saw was the Hungarian Parliament Building, which is where 匈牙利’s National Assembly is located. Guided tours are available when the Assembly is not in session for about 4,000匈牙利福林, 少于15美元的. On the tour you can see the various government spaces there, 比如上议院, 还可以看到匈牙利皇冠上的珠宝. 国会大厦附近, 沿着多瑙河的河岸, 坐落着“多瑙河上的鞋子”纪念碑. These shoes represent the Hungarians who fought in World War II. There is also a beautiful view of the Buda side of the city from this point.

3. 〇温泉浴 布达佩斯坐落在123个温泉之上, which have been used to build nine thermal bath houses throughout the city and have become one of the most popular things to do for tourists and locals a就像. 罗马人在公元1世纪首次使用浴场^st 世纪广告. The two most popular bath houses are Szechenyi and Gellert. I went to the Szechenyi thermal bath when I visited 布达佩斯, which has 15 indoor and three outdoor pools and costs about 5,500 Hungarian Forint or about $20 USD for a daily pass. The bath houses are open year-round, as are the outdoor pools they have. It often costs less to enter and is less crowded on weekdays than on weekends, too!  

4. 中央街市- 布达佩斯’s Central Market was one of my favorite places in the city. The bottom floor is a traditional market with stalls for meat, 鱼, 生产, and more that tourists and locals can walk around and get something to eat. The top floor has many souvenir vendors and food stalls where you can try traditional Hungarian foods, 就像 langos (pronounced: lahn-go-sh) which is deep-friend dough topped with different foods. I got one topped with ham and cheese when I went, but I also saw langos topped with pizza ingredients, vegetables, and more. 

5. St. 斯蒂芬大教堂 位于市中心的圣. 斯蒂芬。’s Basilica is the third-largest church in 匈牙利 and can hold up to 8,500 people. 以匈牙利第一任国王命名, 斯蒂芬。, this well-known church allows visitors to take guided tours of the Basilica or head up to the observation deck and look out over the city.  

6. 〇布达城堡 Buda Castle sits on a hill overlooking the Danube River and the city. Now the location of multiple museums, the castle is one of the main sites in 布达佩斯. 当我拜访时, 我在城堡区走了一圈, 其中包括城堡建筑群, the surrounding neighborhoods and Fisherman’s Bastion. There are many shops and restaurants to visit in this area and some of the best views of the city can be found here. 

7. 渔人堡 布达城堡附近，马蒂亚斯教堂附近, Fisherman’s Bastion is a terrace that stretches along the banks of the Danube and has beautiful panoramic views of the city. There is no fee to walk along the paths and onto the balconies and turrets. This was one of my favorite places in the city, and the views were amazing!
