Opera House, Andrassy Ut.  One of the
most opulent in Europe, this grand building
is a must see during your stay in Budapest.
Even if you just step inside the lobby, the
Opera House is an amazing sight. In the
foyer alone there are marble pillars, a black-
and-white inlaid tile floor and a gorgeous
gold and fresco ceiling.   Ballet, symphony,
and concert programs run all year long and
great seats can be had for $4 USD.  

Take A Bath.  Budapest is famous for it's
Turkish style baths and there are several
throughout the city.  Our favorite is the
Szechnyi (Chain) bathhouse both for its
decor and location.  This delight sits among
City Park, one of several attractions there.  
Inside, the building is breathtakingly
decorated and houses over 25 pools.  
Some are warm, cold, indoor, outdoor, or
scented with eucalyptus or other scents.  
Massages and other services are also
available for an additional fee.  Entrance
fees range from $5-10 USD and
information about all of the spas in
Budapest can be found here.

Stroll through history at one of
Budapest's many museums. The House
of Terror recounts two terrible periods in
the history of Hungary, while the Hall of Art
has both Hungarian and international
exhibitions. Click here to see a list of most
of the museums in Budapest.
