Budapest is one of the most attractive and interesting capital cities in Europe. It makes great use of its location on the Danube as it flows through Hungary. It has the impressive castle district high on a hill which is the historic heart of the city. In the years since Communism was kicked out Budapest has developed a strong capitalist "buzz" as people's commercial energy has been unleashed. I've created three walking guides - this first one is a walk ( mostly gently downhill ) around the historic area around Buda Castle.
