Public Transport Tiecket Budapest

It will be over with the little orange strips called “Vonaljegy” that you need to validate in trams, busses and the metro in Budapest soon. Well not too soon but at least starting from 2014 progressively a new so called E-Ticket system will be introduced. Plan is to have it all done by 2014 which is not a tough deadline I would say.

The tickets will be step by step replaced with a plastic card which is based on the same technology as PayPass and many people know already from cities like London where the Oyster Card also replaced paper tickets.

The first step will be to replace time based tickets such as monthly tickets which allow owners to travel unlimited within Budapest. As a second step than the one time tickets will fade out and the last step is the installation of automated entrance and exit stations that might will probably result in less jobs in the public transport sector as inspectors will drop out by 2015.

Additionally the city is planning to introduce P+R parking spots connected to the HÉV stations which are the suburban trains and also for Metro Line M2. With this step obviously the heavy city traffic should be reduced.
The entire project is connected to a cost of 1.1 billion HUF which is roughly 3.75 million Euro.

I myself started learning Hungarian in 2005 and can agree that it is a very hard to learn language but once you get into it and you mix with the locals and speak to Hungarians a lot e.g. at work or in the pub it just gets in your brain as it probably does with any other language to learn. In case you would like to learn Hungarian here is a list of Language Schools in Budapest or in case you just come for a visit check out some words you can learn and use quick.

So Hungarian is hard to learn and it is spoken only by a few people, why to bother? I think that it is only fair and showing respect towards locals if you at least make an effort towards them the same you would expect it from foreigners in your country as well. Not that you need to speak perfect Hungarian but at least some basics and some friendly expressions that help you through the day. Just my 2 cents concerning this topic.

What is your opinion on Hungarian as a foreign language? And what do you think, should expats learn Hungarian or is it not necessary?

Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein is a New York born designer from Jewish-Hungarian immigrants

Jamie Lee Curtis
Just like Calvin Klein Jamie Lee Curtis has Jewish-Hungarian ancestors

Freddie Prince Jr.
Hi grandfather was Jewish-Hungarian as well

Drew Barrymore
Her mothers name is Ildikó, I think that says it all

Paul Newman
His parents are Jews from Poland and Hungary

Alanis Morisette
Same here, mother is Jewish-Hungarian

Adrien Brody
His mother is a Budapest born lady

Goldie Hawn
Goldie Hawns mother is the daughter of Hungarian immigrants

Kate Hudson
Since Kate Hudson is the mother of Goldie Hawn, she is quarter Hungarian

Rachel Weisz
Weisz György, a Hungarian inventor is her father

Tara Reid
Tara is a super mixture of different nationalities, Hungarian is one of them

Andrew G. Vajna
Budapest born, still very present in Hungary and most Hungarians know that he is Hungarian so it is not such a surprise

River and Joaquin Phoenix
The grandparents are Jewish-Hungarian

Estee Lauder
She is the child of a Hungarian and a Czech

And there are also some other such as Tony Curtis, Mark Knopfler or Gene Simmons who also have somewhere Hungarian roots. I think it is quite impressive how many celebrities which we know from many movies, as singers or other world wide famous artists are actually with Hungarian background.

Tropicarium Budapest

The Tropicarium in Budapest is the biggest indoor aquarium in Central Europe andis the home of several thousand fishes, reptiles and other animals living under water or in tropical areas around the world. With thousands of visitors week by week the Tropicarium is one of the top indoor attractions of Budapest and is especially popular among kids. The highlights are probably the crocodiles and the sharks swimming in a massive aquarium with a tunnel made of glass to have the best view. Though to be honest both of them are fairly boring to watch, the crocodiles are laying around and move very rarely, the sharks are swimming (they have to in order to survive) but it is the same way over and over again. Nevertheless the Tropicarium in Budapest is worth a visit if you are interested in the under water world or if you have kids fascinated by all those creatures.

In my opinion the entrance fee to Tropicarium is a bit expensive with 2.300 HUF for grown ups between 14 and 62 years of age which is something around 9 Euro. Also kids between 4 and 14 still pay 1.600 HUF when going with a grown up makes a trip to Tropicarium an expensive experience. Lets assume 2 grown ups and 2 children go together it makes 7.600 HUF just for the entrance fee which is around 30 Euro. But I guess that families don’t go there every weekend so it is an affordable experience just like the Budapest Zoo or the Budapest Circus.

All in all I think it is a fantastic experience to see all those different animals in one place and its a very memorable experience for your kids. And who doesn’t love to see their kids to be happy and excited.

Budapest Android Apps

This artcile introduces a few Budapest Android applications that I would like to present you here. As Android is becoming a more and more popular Operating System for mobile phones I had a look at the Android market how you as an Android user can improve your trip to Budapest with a free application to guide you throught the city or give you some tips on the go. Basically what I found are 2 Applications about Budapest as a kind of travel guide and 1 App for information about the Budapest Airport.
If you plan to come to Budapest and need an application for recommendations and tips have a look on the apps I downloaded and had a closer look on. I think that it is a good compliment but does not replace a Budapest Guide or decent research before arrival. Don’t rely on the app to bring you to all the cool places.

Application: Budapest Agent

Well since July 6th there is an Android Application for Budapestagent.com as well which I uploaded to the Android market. It is a very simple app feeding you with new information posted here as well, so I would not really recommend it as a guide during your stay in Budapest but to get information to your mobile phone it is worth downloading it. By the way, the QR code below the article will redirect you to the Application “Budapest Agent” on the Android Market either if you read the QR code diretly on your mobile or if you click on it in your browser. So have a look, download it, give it 5 stars of course and you can give me some feedback here in the comments.

Application: Budapest

The app is simply called Budapest and is developed by Guidepal which also developed apps for other major cities such as Helsinki, Stockholm, Milan, Athens, Brussels, Dubai, Sydney, Cape Town and many many more. The app Budapest is well designed and from user experience point of perspective very simple to use. You can find information about Attractions, Shopping, Quick Facts, Restaurants, Nightlife and more. The amount of information is probably the weak point of the app since there are for example only 13 Bars & Restaurants listed and reviewed.
The App Budapest also features a Map supported by Google Maps as well as an Agenda for you to fill up with things you would like to do. So all in all it is very nice and informative to a certain extend since the content is very limited.

Application: Budapest Travel Guide

Like the above the Budapest Travel Guide App is very easy and intuitive to use even though from design perspective it is not that nice. The welcome screen is the typical image of the Chain Bridge by night plus 6 buttons as navigation. You can find information about sights, nightlife, dining as well as background information. Also you have a map and place around Budapest such as Esztergom, Szentendre, Visegrád and so on. The amount of information for example in the sights section is better than in the Budapest app and also the information itself is better structured.
Still I would say that this is a very slim app as well but for sure useful if you are standing in the midlle of the city and don’t know where to go. It is developed by Triposo Travel Guides and also covers several cities like Warsaw, Munich, Melbourne, Copenhagen, Bangkok and so on.

Summary
Summarizing the Budapest Travel applications I see that there is information coming from international Travel guides giving good information for tourists coming to Budapest and both combined probably give a  good amount of content to browse through. The Map function is not really needed since all Android devices come with Google Maps preinstalled but it is a nice to have. So if you come to Budapest with your Android make sure to download these apps.

Budapest Airport Application

The App which you can find on the Android market is called BudWatcher which is not the official application of the Budapest airport so don’t expect too much and that is exactly the problem with this application. All you can do here is search for flights and it tells you if or when it started or landed today and also watch the departures and arrivals timetable with flight number, destination, Terminal on Budapest Airport and if it departed/landed or when that is going to happen. That is all what you can do in this app and exactly that you can watch here in the section BUD Flight information. I think there is no need to download the app I even uninstalled it already.

So in general you can say that it is worth to have one of the above applications installed while you are in Budapest though it will not replace a proper planning before you arrive in Budapest. Budapestagent.com is one source to inform youself but there are many others like blogs, normal websites and also the classical Budapest travel guide which you buy in the good, old book format. For quick information though an app is for sure nice to have.

There are some things you have to see or do in Budapest. Some are in the Budapest guides, some not so here is an all complete list of things to see in Budapest! The points will have small comments what it is about or why you have to do it, most of them have links for further, more detailed information.  This list will be updated constantly and if you have any suggestions about what to see or do please leave a comment.

1. Parliament
   

   Budapest Parliament

   The parliament in Budapest is definetly a building you need to see, from outside and inside. It is not just beautiful but also a very historical building. By the way the best picture you can take from the other side of the Danube on Batthyány Tér.

2. Citadella
   The Citadella on top of Gellért hill is one of the memories Hungary has about the Turkish invasion. Nowadays it is one of Budapests biggest tourist attractions and probably the best view point in the city. The place is very popular for taking pictures about Budapest by night.
3. Basilica
   The Basilica is located in the city center and a big attraction among tourists but also very famous for hosting famous peoples weddings. I have never been inside but it is supposed to be a really beautiful cathedral.
4. Grand Market Hall
   I am not convinced that the Grand Market Hallin Budapest is the best place to see traditional Hungarian market activities (rather go to Lehel Market) but it is a good place to shop fresh vegetables, fruits and meat. Have a look to see the stereotype picture of Budapest.
5. Hero Square
   Hero Square is a must see in Budapest. There is no way around it because it is full of history and beauty and you can go to many other places from there like the city park, Széchenyi bath or the Zoo which are all listed here as well.
6. Chain Bridge at night
   It is absolutly beautiful to see the chain bridge at night lighted up with hundreds of lights. Just recently I took a picture of it with my mobile phone because it simply amazes me every time I pass it which basically every day. So if you are here make a stop there, have a walk over it and take a picture.
7. Matyas Church
   In the castle district you can find Matyas Church which is a simply beautiful church and a very highly frequented place by tourists. You can also see there the Fishermans Bastion, the Buda Castle and much more. Unfortunately at the moment I think they are restaurating the church so you will not have a clear view on it but still you can go in.
8. 

   Memento Park Budapest

   Memento Park
   Far outside the city you can find Memento Park or as it was called earlier, Statue Park. What you can find here is a collection of many old, communistic statues that where collected and put outside the city which is nowadays something like a museum. These statues are massive, big statues of communistic heroes. I think the entrance fee is something around 500 Forint and there is a shuttle bus going from Déak Tér to Memento Park so it is definetly worth a trip, not expensive and no hassle.
9. Buda Castle
   Up on the Buda hill as well you can find the massive Buda Castle right next to where you get off the Sikló (later on more about that). I have been to the castle once for a christmaas party and it was a really cool experience to party in such a massive, nice and old building. I haven’t seen much of the castle itself from inside but it is lighted from outside which is really beautiful so if you have the chance have a look at nicht.
10. Opera
    The Opera in Budapest is located on Ándrassy út and from inside a really nice building. I have been just in the entrance hall but that is already really beautiful. But of course next to being beautiful you can see operas there and spend nice evenings. To check the latest program go and visit the Opera website.
11. Palace of Art
    The Palace of Arts or as it is called in Hungarian Művészetek Palotája is that not really nice building on Pest side next to Lágymányosi híd. Nevertheless when it is dark there are colorful lights giving it a fancy touch which can be changed accordig to the event. But not the building is the interesting part about the Palace of Arts rather than what is going on in there and thats what you can check here.
12. National Theatre
    The national theatre is the main theatre in Budapest thus the biggest one in Hungary. Originally it opened up in 1837 but they moved the name, not the building, from place to place so the latest national theatre is a quite modern building which was opened in September 2000. Just like the Palace of Arts it is about what is going on inside so go on and check out the website for the program.
13. Fisherman’s Bastion
    The Fisherman’s Bastion in Budapest is one of the best points to watch the city from above. Located in Castle District the white building was used for defense reasons and is one of Budapests biggest attractions nowadays. Unfortunately on the lower part where you always could go for free they built a Café which means that if you want to have a look you need to eat or drink something or, and that is why they built the Café there I believe, you pay and go to the upper part. Nevertheless, there are still some spots where you can have a look for free.
14. Roman Ruins in Óbuda
    A sight nearly nobody takes really care about are the Roman Ruins in Óbuda. I don’t know if they are not mentioned in toursit guides or if nobody really cares about it. You find these ruins along the main road going from the city towards Szentendre. One big leftover you can even see here on Google Maps and another one here. So if you fancy these kind of sights you should definetly have a look.
15. Nyugati Train station
    Not really a sight but really nice is the Nyugati Train station. If you are around have look but you won’t miss something if you just have a look at the picture because from inside it is not really spectacular.
16. Keleti Train station
    Same as with the Nyugati you can proceed with the Keleti Train station. There are some things around like the Puskas Ferenc Stadium or the Arena Plaza so if you are there have a look. Recently I have been in there and I have to say this is really the lowest you can expect in terms of customer care or visitor friendlyness. Cold (it was even snowing in there), windy, dirty, one waiting room which was full of homeless people warming up.
17. Margit Island
    A beauty in summertime is the Margit Island. I think there is no better place to escape from the city than having a walk, swim, run, drink on Margit Island. It is like the green heart of Budapest and a well frequented recreation area. On its 0,965 km you can find a lot of bars, recreation areas, party places, swimming pools, a hotel, a running track and much more. If you are in Budapest in the summer time do plan a trip to Margit Island it is definetly worth it.
18. City Park
    If you want to relax a bit or take a nice walk I recommend you to go to the city park. Not only that it is quiet and green there but you can also see some nice places like the Szechényi bath or the zoo. Also it is possible to go ice skating in the winter time. Most people come to the city park to have a walk and eat or drink something on a warm saturday afternoon in one of the many restaurants.
19. Budapest Zoo
    It took me quite a while until I went first time to the zoo in Budapest but I have to admit that it is fairly big with loads of animals. From outside the zoo seems to be small but once you are insinde it just seems endless. Nevertheless the zoo gives me a bit of a communistic feeling and seems to be not too good for the animals since it is all concrete and stony. If you have a child I do recommend a walk in the Budapest zoo.
20. Budapest Amusement Park (Vidám Park)
    To be honest I have never been in the amusement park but I have heart from many people that there are a lot of attractions to see and have a ride with. The only thing I see every now and than is the old and rusty wood rolercoster where I would never put a food in. I guess that the amusement park in Budapest is about the same age as the zoo and existing since communistic times. Anyways in the summertime the amusement park seems to be a good attraction for people.
21. Castle District
    Definetly one of the places you have to see is the castle district with all the old buildings, history, cafes, embassies and many other sights you can visit there. I think every Budapest tourist is going up there to see Mátyás church, the Fishermens Bastion and the Buda Castle. Don’t miss this opportunity and have a walk up in castle district.
22. Ándrassy út
    Well, when it comes to streets in Budapest I guess Ándrassy út is the one you should see. Especially at night or in christmas time Ándrassy út is for sure the most romantic and nicest place you can go to. Have a mulled wine on the christmas market at Liszt Ferenc Tér, take a walk or go into one of the many restaurants and enjoy the beauty of Ándrassy út.
23. Kopaszi Gát
    Kopaszi Gát is a fairly new place on Buda side next to Lagyamnyosi bridge which used to be a flood protection for the near by industrial area. Beginning of this century Kopászi gát was kind of renovated with really nice green area, little cute cottages where you can find restaurants, bars, arts and much more. Kopaszi Gát is a really good place to take a relaxing walk or just sit in the sun watching the Danube.
24. Gellert Hill
    A must be place if you are coming to Budapest. The Gellert Hill offers the best view on Budapest especially by night. There are busses full of tourists brought up there just for “the one Budapest picture”. If you actually check for images about Budapest on the web you will always find one taken from Gellert Hill. So go there and also see the Citadella.
25. Váci út
    Well Váci út is not the most beautiful place in particular (don’t get me wrong it is nice but still there are nicer parts) but it is worth a visit to see the touristic side of Budapest. I usually give advise about places you don’t find in every book about Budapest but this one is worth seeing. Anyways beware there escpecially of the girls offering you to have a drink. Once more, DO NOT GO WITH THEM!
26. See the Gresham Palace Hotel
    If you cross Lánchíd (Chain Bridge) in direction of Pest this awesome, beautiful, highlighted building is the Gresham Palace. One of the best hotels in Budapest the Gresham Palace is not only a high class option to stay but also very nice to see. It is really like in a Disney fairy tail.
27. Café New York
    That is one you find in every book about Budapest and even though it is very cheesy it is a must see with all the paintings, gold and the wonderful fassade. If you fancy to go in there I do not recommend the coffee, rather the hot chocolate.
28. Szimpla Kert
    For all the alternative people Szimpla Kert was the place to go in the evening. Students and a lot of young people used to spend hours here to drink, talk and dance but with the times of popularity tourists come and make the place a highlight for everybody. So Szimpla lost a lot of its flair but still its worth going there.
29. Instant
    Similar to Szimpla but approximately 2 years behind in terms of popularity. Instant is one of the ruin clubs in Budapest, just like Szimpla is, just not that much discovered by tourists which makes it a bit more enjoyable as you don’t have all the stag nights going on there… yet.
30. Café Gerbeaud
    The Café Gerbeaud is located on Vörösmarty Tér and probably next to Café New York the most famous in Hungary especially because of their “Gerbeau Szelet”, the Gerbeau cake invented here. In my opinion a bit too sweet but many people really like it. Every Christmas season during the christams market time Café Gerbeau has a advent calendar in the windows of the first floor opening a window every night with a big ceremony.
31. Szenchenyi Bath
    The Szechenyi bath is probably the most popular in Budapest and also the biggest. Located in the city park the bath offers everything a natural bath needs to offer including a warm pool outside which is really popular in the winter time to swim outside in when it is snowing.
32. Gellert Bath
    The Gellert bath is obviously in the hotel Gellert and I guess that’s the reason what makes the hotel so popular. The hotel itself is not that high class but the bath gives a big extra on top. With an outside and an inside part the Gellert bath offers a great recreation area even though I personally think that Gellert is not too good.
33. Kiraly Bath
    The Király bath is one of the smaller baths in Budapest but really original from the times the Turkes invaded the country. It has steam baths, saunas, many pools and so much more to try out. Give it a shot.
34. Rudas Bath
    Just like the Kiraly bath the Rudas Bath in Budapest is fairly old, actually it was built up in 1550, you heart right 1550. Thats pretty so have a look and take a bath in one of Budapests most historical baths.
35. Aquaworld Budapest
    Recently I have been there the first time and I have to say that Aquaworld in Budapest is really a cool place to relax and spend a weekend with family or friends. I don’t know about the room prices of hotel Ramada but the prices of the bar are quite pricy. Nevertheless Aquaworld has a fantastic pool area with slides, whirlpools, outside natural baths and of course everything else you need for being an up to date bath like Sauna, pool, solarium and so on. So if you search for a nice place for a weekend trip or real water adventure this is your place to go.
36. Holdudvar
    From the first months I have been in Budapest Holdudvar always has been one of my favourite places. First located in a backyard of a university íholdudvar was for me the place to go since it was open air, open long and the music played was awesome. Than Holdudvar moved to the Margit Sziget and I thought that it will not be the same as before which actually became true because the location was unbeatable but what they made out of the old casino on Margit Island is really fantastic. Nowadays Holdudvar is a restaurant, bar, club everything in one and it is always full. Unfortunately only enjoyable in the summer time but really one of the top places to go. See also my Top 5 in the menu on top and the website of Holdudvar.
37. A real Hungarian Kocsma (Pub)
    I guess that this is what every local in every country in the world tells you to do because here you see the real live of Hungary. People coming from work having a beer, alcoholics spending their day or young people starting for the evening. Areal Hungarian kocsma is usually not the nicest place, dirty stinky toilets, cheap beer and a rough appearance but once you have your second beer down it starts to be a cool place where you can have fun. So if you know a kocsma or somebody who has a favourite one go there, it’s really worth the visit!
38. Learn 5 basic words in Hungarian
    Szia (hello and goodbye), köszönöm (Thanks), hogy vagy (how are you?) sör (beer) and my all time favourite which is actually a sentence gyönyörüek a szemeid (your eyes are beautiful). Especially the last one is really hard to learn but that was the first sentence I learnt and really effective. Ask a Hungarian how to pronounce it and use it, you will have fun!
39. Millenáris Park
    Millenaris park is located behind Mammut Shopping Center and is a cultutral place for exhibitions, concerts and children program. It is an area with a very nice green area and a lot of halls to have events. No matter if the world press foto exhibition, Kruder & Dorfmeister concert, a children program on staurday afternoon or football worldcup live matches on big screens you can get everything here. Check out the program on the website to know what is on.
40. Synagogue
    I have never been inside the Synagogue but since the Jewish community in Budapest is really big it must be nice in there. Located in the middle of the city the building somehow stands out but in a positive way. Basically you can find this tip in any tourist guide so I leave the explanation to others until I have been inside and can tell my personal opinion. For more information please visit the website of the Synagogue.
41. Arena Plaza
    Arena Plaza for now is the biggest shopping center in Hungary and if I am not completely wrong (still) in Eastern Europe and offers all the big brands you need to shop for men or women. Also you fin cinemas, weekend programs and a lot more in Arena plaza. Basically some families spend there an entire day because you can get everything you need, from shopping in the afternoon, having a nice dinner, going to the cinema and having a drink in one of the bars at night.

42. A night in legendary Piaf
    All people who are out a lot in Budapest know Piaf, the legendary place to go to after a tough night out. Piaf is the place which opens at around midnight and stays open till early morning. This is usually the place where people go to at 4a.m. after a night out clubbing to have a last drink or even dance on. All night long you can literally knock the door, go down and party on.
43. Lehel Market
    The Lehel Market is, compared to the Grand Market Hall, a typical Hungarian market where local sell and buy. You can find here all the good things from vegetables and fruits over typical bakery to meat, Lángos, a good glass of beer and all that you need to see about Hungarian culture. It is worth a try.
44. Sziget Festival
    Well there is not much to say about the Sziget Festival I guess as it is THE festival of Budapest, the festival city. The Sziget takes place every August on Óbuda island which is in the North of the city and it hosts some hundred thousand visitors in 1 week. Many of them camping on the site, some coming just for the evenings but all of them are willing to party, non stop! It is a must do in Budapest if you are here in that time.
45. Red Bull Air Race
    The Red Bull Airrace takes place on a yearly basis in the middle of the city, right above the Danube river and is a free event for thousands of people who like to see planes flown in a skillful way. Next to it there are many other planes showing off in a kind of parade so if you fancy planes, go there.
46. Wine Festival
    No year without wine festival in Budapest. For me the wine festival is a set event in the calendar because it is a cosy event which gives you a good view on the Hungarian Wine culture which is extremely interesting if you like good wines. Here nearly all wineyards will exhibit so you can taste the different regions and cellars.
47. Pálinka and Sausage Festival
    Whoever likes shots should have a look at the Pálinka and Sausage Festival. As you might know Pálinka is the traditional shot of Hungary and here on this festival you will get a good insight about the destillers, the types and of course also about the tastes. Make your way there.
48. Mangalica Festival
    Sorry, what? A Mangalica is a typical Hungarian pig race that looks rather like a sheep but the meat is phenomenal. That is also the reason why you should visit the Mangalica Festival in Budapest which is not a huge festival but you can taste all the products made from Mangalica meat.
49. Christmas Market on Vörösmarty Tér
    There are several christmas fairs / markets in Budapest but the one at Vörösmarty Tér is by far the nicest you can go to. As in most European countries the tradition on christmas markets are small gifts, mulled wine and some snack food to go. You can find the same here, the special thing is the advent calendar in the windows of Café Gerbeaud.
50. Summer on Chain Bridge
    “Summer on Chain Bridge” is a small event that takes place during the summer weekends on the chain bridge in the heart of Budapest. It is not a festival with a certain topic rather than a coming together and enjoy the time on the fresh air with live music, some food and little handcrafted things you can buy. Worth a visit.
51. Childrens Island (Gyerek Sziget)
    Yet another festival, the childrens island is a festival devoted to kids in the age up to 16 I recon. You find there many attraction kids can ride or play, a lot of food and also small kids organizations exhibiting their products. If you have kids this is a nice activity you can do during summer weekends.
52. T-Mobile Connection Concert
    This is an initiative by T-Mobile, the biggest mobile network operator in Hungary, which brings one international superstar to Budapest every year without entrance fee. So you can see artists like Chris Rea, Santana, Simply Red or recently Kesha live on stage without paying for it. Good initiative but very crowded each year.
53. St. Stephen’s Day celebrations
    The St. Stephen’s Day (in Hungarian Szent István) celebrations take place on August 20th, the Hungarian National Holiday. St. Stephen was the first King of Hungary from 1000 – 1038 and he is considered to be the founder of Hungary. Year by year there are big fireworks and party going on in Budapest where people meet on the street to see the fireworks, drink together and have a great evening celebrating the day.
