After scouring the alleyways of downtown Pest and Buda's Castle
Hill on your first visit, you may return to discover the neighbourhoods between the two
körüts (ring-boulevards): the high and narrow streets of Terezvaros, the squares and
backstreet cafes of Erszebetváros, the seedy but intriguing Jozsefváros.
There's more to find even further out: don't forget to put on your
hiking boots one day and take a city bus west into Buda Hills - you can walk for hours in
the forests there, and find magnificent views out over the Danube and the city.
For one more out-of-the-way tip, if you're heading for a leisurely
stroll on Margit Island anyway, check into the Buda riverside and look up the small but
impressive tomb of Gül Baba, where Muslims and Baha'i pilgrims meet - and find it by
walking up the pretty, strangely Balkanesque Gül Baba utca - sheer fairy tale stuff.

Budapest
In Your Pocket
Budapest is a city to discover in steps and stages - every time you go there, you will
find a whole new area of town you'd previously overlooked, that turns out to again have a
mood of its own. The city is beautiful in mid-winter, its quiet charm preserved in icy
melancholy; in summer, residents and tourists alike flock to the lovely Városliget (City
Park) and Margit Island.
