we arrived, did our check-in at the hotel and went resting!
and the taxi driver told us: well, no snow yet, it's a pitty...
saturday morning, when we left, snow was starting to fall!
we went towards the Opera and then passed by the St Stephan Basilica
we continued through the Freedom Square towards the Hungarian Parliament
and stopped for a while to warm um at a cafe because of the cold!
afterwards, along the Danube, we passed the Chain Bridge, Vigadó Square
and turned to the Vorosmarty Square wuere the Christhmas market was at
after having lunch (and warming up) we went south through the Vaci Utca
to the Great Market Hall, which unfortunately was closed...
we went back ro the Hotel, to get the bathing suits and towels...
and went straight to the Szechenyi Bath to relax!!
sauna, thermal pools and exterior pool with snow falling!!
sunday we took the tram to Moskva Ter on the Buda side
from there we went to the Castle where we visited the Matthias Church,
the Fisherman's Bastion and the Palace, with spectacular views!
afterwards, we went down in the cable car, close to the Turul statue!
we continued on foot along the river (no rain anymore) passing by Rudas
and went up the Gellert Hill where we visited the Citadel
to end the day in style, we went to the Gellert Baths, right next door
2monday the sun finally came but the wind was chilly, chilly!!
we decided to go to the Great Maket Hall (this time it was open)
and then we went back to the Christmas market to eat something typical!
finally we went to the airport and flew back home
the impression from the 1st trip still stands: I like this city very much!
and I managed to be in the baths, outside, with falling snow!
