I spent all day dragging Simon around Budapest, I think I might have broken him, he says he needs a rest.
We needed some culture, so headed to a museum, learn a lot about Hungarian history, the went across the Duna (Danube) to the fortresses on the hills on the other side. Back into town, Lunch at a very local place, then tonight we flew to Calabria, where we are waiting to see what Italy will offer us, seems warm and very friendly.
Oktogon station
Oldest working underground metro in the world.
It is just under the road, 15 steps down.
Had lunch at szimple, the place on the right, hipster tasty modern place, really good
Subways under the big intersections
Love those standard Budapest apartments., all similar, all different. They all have a tunnel through to a courtyard.
Foyer of a random building I walked into
Some nice modern stuff thrown in as well...
