<p>If you want to spend your dream <em>vacations in Budapest</em>, you have to plan very carefully every activity you want to do in the beautiful European capital. <strong>Budapest</strong> is a city full of places to visit as well as the most exquisite cuisine, which is why, having a clear <strong>vacation</strong> plan is very important for the total enjoyment of our holiday break.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="best vacation budapest" alt="best &lt;b&gt;vacation&lt;/b&gt; budapest" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/6982/best-vacation-budapest.jpg" width="550" height="367" /></p>
<p>The first thing to do is to decide how long we are going to stay, which is very important to determine our budget for <a href="http://www.only-apartments.com/apartments-budapest.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">accommodation in Budapest</a>.</p>
<p>Once you have decided this, you are ready to start planning all the great activities that the city has to offer and enjoy your <em>vacations in Budapest</em> to its very best.</p>
<h2>Traditional <strong>food</strong> in Budapest</h2>
<p>There are two delicious <strong>dishes</strong> we simply have to try, when we are on <strong>vacation</strong> in <strong>Budapest.</strong> The first is the famous Gulyas leves, and the second is Lecso.</p>
<p>The first of these <strong>dishes</strong> consists of a kind of soup, in which the main ingredient is meat. Therefore, this dish is mainly a beef stew that is normally accompanied by flour products, such as bread or spaghetti.</p>
<p>Lecso, on the other hand, contains a mixture of vegetables and sausages. It consists of red pepper, onion and sausages. Sometimes, some pieces of zucchini are added to it. It is recommended to drink some wine with Lecso and there won’t be a better one than Puztamérgesi.</p>
<h2>Best places to visit in Budapest</h2>
<p>The best places to visit when we are on <em>vacation in Budapest</em> are mainly Heroes´ Square (Hősök tere) and the Royal Palace in Buda Castle.</p>
<p>The Hősök tere is a wonderful square, which is located opposite the city park. This is a very important attraction due to a social and historical context. It is adorned with multiple statues of extraordinary beauty, which are distributed all around the square.</p>
<p>The Royal Palace is a Gothic construction that serves as a reference point for those who are interested in visiting some of the <strong>best</strong> museums of the city of <strong>Budapest.</strong> You can get to the palace by cable car, as it is 48 feet above Danube’s level.</p>
<p>Finally, you should always keep in mind, before visiting any place in town, to take good care of your belongings, this way you’ll ensure an excellent <em>holiday in <strong>Budapest</strong> </em>.</p>

<p>Forget the must-do-see-eat lists, sometimes stepping off of the tourist trail for a day can be fun and useful to understand a new culture. <strong>Budapest</strong> for example is a fascinating city with many hidden sides to discover. Let´s talk about the options, and “Alternative <strong>Budapest</strong> walking tour” is one. It was created to show visitors unusual sights, trends and sounds, tours are about what´s happening in these days bringing together aspects of the underground music and art scenes and takes you through districts that most visitors ignore. It´s a chance to learn about a specific culture, architecture, politics and of course the people that make <strong>Budapest</strong> a unique place.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="alternative budapest" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/6962/alternative-budapest.jpg" alt="alternative budapest" width="550" height="413" /></p>
<p>Tours are always composed by small groups, this is necessary to enable to come into personal contact with the environment. So, if you´re visiting <strong>Budapest</strong> remember that “The <strong>Alternative</strong> <strong>Budapest</strong> Walking Tour” begins at Deák Tér, in front of the church. Booking is not necessary, just show up at the meeting point. Another alternative is ”Budapest Beyond Sightseeing”, basically a ’socio-cultural’ walking tour in the 8th district in <strong>Budapest.</strong> In the past it was considered dangerous and strongly advised to avoid. Although the 8th district is continuously developing, the changes remained unnoticed, and these tours have the purpose to stop this bad reputation.</p>
<p>You can choose different kinds of tours, for example the 3 hours “socio cultural walkig tour” where you will feel the real contrasts of the city going into the hidden backyards. and visiting the home of a gipsy musician family. Meeting point: outside the Hungarian National Museum. Another option is The Secret <strong>Budapest</strong> Downtown, 2 hours around the streets of the old Pest discovering the ancient city wall from the middle ages, a palace of Miklós Ybl, the greatest Hungarian architect, and again across passageway houses and the secret short cuts of the city. But also Váci Street, the most fashionable main street of <strong>Budapest</strong> presented from another, original point of view. Meeting point: Egyetem tér. The 8<sup>th</sup> district and Hungarian contemporary art, a connection that most of people don´t know. Another tour is just about this and the contrast between crumbling buildings tumble down sculptures and a growing art community. The tour we´ll show you the artistic trends in the 8th district through home-galleries, ateliers, cellar-galleries, photo exhibitions.</p>
<p>Meeting point: Mikszáth square, next to the Mikszáth statue. So, Art, history and games, and active participation, his is the recipe for  “Budapest Beyond Sightseeing”. One more suggestion for your <strong>Budapest</strong> <strong>alternative</strong> tour: the Pálvölgy Cave. Just underneath the Buda Hills you will find the third longest cave in the country. Stalactites, rigid corridors, and spherical formations, if you love nature, this is the right place for you, and the 500 meters route will show you a very different glimpse of the Buda Hills. If you´re looking for some challenge and adventure you can choose the option to climb and hike along a 20 km long trail, it will take about 2-3 hours to complete. Now just enjoy the <strong>alternative</strong> Budapest.</p>

<div class="topsy_widget_data topsy_theme_blue" style="float: right;margin-left: 0.75em; background: url(data:,%7B%20%22url%22%3A%20%22http%253A%252F%252Fwww.whattoseeinbudapest.com%252Fbudapest-for-vegetarians%252F%22%2C%20%22shorturl%22%3A%20%22http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FYHDVSE%22%2C%20%22style%22%3A%20%22big%22%2C%20%22title%22%3A%20%22Budapest%20for%20Vegetarians%22%20%7D);"></div>
<p>One place where <strong>vegetarians</strong> are certain not to run into problems is <strong>Budapest.</strong> This city can easily meet even <strong>vegan</strong> requirements, so you won’t have to worry about where to eat after long walks in the Hungarian capital. Vegetarian restaurants are very successful and very busy. In fact, it is not uncommon to see them filled to the brim.</p>
<p> This way of eating is more widespread than in Spain, since the Mediterranean diet while fairly healthy offers things that prove hard to resist <strong>for</strong> locals, such as the Iberian ham or choricito de leña.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="budapest-for-vegetarians" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/7049/budapest-for-vegetarians.jpg" alt="budapest-for-vegetarians" width="550" height="367" /></p>
<h2> Hummus Bar</h2>
<p>If you want to <strong>tour</strong> the city on the Danube by visiting the best places to eat, you’re pretty much obligated to check out the Hummus Bar. As its name suggests, you can get great hummus, falafel, and all kinds of vegetables. The <strong>food</strong> has an Middle Eastern flavor and influence.</p>
<h2> <br /> Nepfenyes Etterem</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 10px;">The next stop on our <strong>gastronomic</strong> <strong>tour</strong> is Etterem Nepfenyes. Although it’s a little further from the center of the city, their vegetarian pizzas, among other dishes, and excellent desserts make it worth the effort.</span></p>
<h2> Gorilla Vega Bufe</h2>
<p>To continue with our special focus, there’s also the Gorilla Vega Bufe, which is located in the center of the city. Make sure you’ve worked up a good appetite when you go there, because the dishes served here are delicious, especially the burgers, and also quite big. They alone make it worth finding. These aren’t your standard burger fare, but rather vegetarian ones that are really good. You’ll find them made of tofu in their alternative menu. They also offer a variety of salads and organic drinks as well as delicious desserts.</p>
<h2> Ganga Vega Café</h2>
<p>If you’re more interested in seeing the city than spending time in restaurants, there is always the option of going to a fast-food restaurant such as Ganga Vega Café. They give you a choice between <strong>food</strong> of European origin or something from farther East. They also use seasonal products obtained directly from farmers. And although fast-food restaurants are not known <strong>for</strong> great service, here you will find just that.</p>
<h2> Govinda</h2>
<p>Vegetarian <strong>food</strong> is closely linked to Asian cuisine and Indian <strong>food,</strong> and this restaurant, Govinda, which recently opened in <strong>Budapest,</strong> continues the traditions of other countries by offering this type of <strong>food.</strong> It’s located within walking distance of the Danube, but is not your typical tourist place.</p>
<p> These may be lesser known restaurants in the city, yet they offer something <strong>for</strong> everyone. And you usually get a pretty good amount of <strong>food</strong> at a good price.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Taking a break to eat at any one of these restaurants will help you rest up and get energized to see the rest of Buda and Pest. This fascinating city should be on everyone’s list to visit at least once, and perhaps even twice. This <strong>gastronomic</strong> <strong>tour</strong> gives you a good excuse to go and discover the city on the Danube <strong>for</strong> yourself.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for a great cultural experience this <strong>spring,</strong> head to <strong>Budapest</strong> for the annual <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>Festival.</strong> As warm breezes start to flow through the city, the population pulls together for a <strong>celebration</strong> of the best in classical, jazz, opera and folk <strong>music.</strong> Venues throughout the city welcome outstanding performers from within Hungary as well as from the international <strong>music</strong> scene.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="budapest &lt;b&gt;spring&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;festival&lt;/b&gt; 2013" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/7017/budapest-spring-festival-2013.jpg" alt="budapest &lt;b&gt;spring&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;festival&lt;/b&gt; 2013" width="550" height="359" /></p>
<h2>A Little History of the <strong>Budapest</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> Festival</h2>
<p>The <strong>Budapest</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> tradition was created in 1981 by the Hungarian State Tourist Office. Concerned over the hotels that frequently sat empty until Easter, the Tourist Office came up with the idea of hosting a <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> early in the year, before the rest of the European festivals began.</p>
<p>The festival is dedicated to the arts, and it truly has become a <strong>celebration</strong> of performing art in all its forms. Guests of all ages find events to enjoy, from folk and sport exhibitions, to opera and ballet, from theater and open-air events to classical <strong>music</strong> performances.</p>
<p>Throughout its history, the <strong>festival</strong> has been a colorful, exciting <strong>celebration.</strong> From its early motto “10 days, 100 locations, 1000 events” to its modern motto “the <strong>Festival</strong> is the <strong>festival</strong> of festivals,” the program represents art in all its forms, and is a beautiful showcase of ensembles and artists from at home and abroad.</p>
<h2>The Program</h2>
<p>The 2013 <strong>Festival</strong> kicks off on March 22<sup>nd</sup>, and stretches all the way until April 7<sup>th</sup>. Guests will have over 200 events to enjoy in 11 venues throughout the city. By location, a few key events include:</p>
<h2>Belvárosi Szent Mihály Templom</h2>
<p>The downtown St. Michael’s Church will be hosting the Zugló Philharmonia – King Stephen Symphony Orchestra with conductor Záborszky Kalman and vocalists Catherine Vamosi, Esther Balogh, Eugene Dean, Robert Rezsnyák. They will be performing some of Haydn’s most prominent works on the evening of March 26<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>St. Michael’s will also be hosting a performance by the Gypsy Ensemble. This versatile ensemble will be performing a range of works including classical, operetta and popular folk music.</p>
<h2>Avilai Nagy Szent Teréz-templom</h2>
<p>Balazs Szabo will be performing a free organ concert at the St. Teresa of Avila Church on March 23<sup>rd</sup>. This award-winning graduate of Würzburg <strong>Music</strong> Academy will be performing some challenging organ pieces by Bach.</p>
<p>The Saint Ephraim Choral will also be performing here, in <strong>celebration</strong> of Rachmaninov’s 140<sup>th</sup> birth anniversary. This free concert will be offered on Easter Monday.</p>
<h2>Budapest <strong>Music</strong> Center</h2>
<p>Celebrated violinist Xiao Wang will be performing here, accompanied by Mary Kovalszki on the piano. Wang has been playing the violin since age five, and has gone on to win numerous awards for his skill.</p>
<p>The Kodaly Quartet will also be performing at the <strong>Budapest</strong> <strong>Music</strong> Center. The four performers bring their colorful, romantic style to the works of Brahms and Dohnanyi. The quartet includes celebrated vocalist Judith Nemeth, Peter Velvet on viola, and Paul Banda on cello.</p>
<p>Also of note, the Benyounes Quartet will be performing pieces by Beethoven, Debussy and Janáček on the evening of April 5<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>These, of course, are just a few key events and places; however, the program is extensive and not one to miss. Visit the website of the <strong>Budapest</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> for the full list of events and places.</p>

<p>Everyone should start the day with a hearty and delicious <strong>breakfast,</strong> however not everyone have the time and inspiration to cook in the morning. In this case, a <strong>typical</strong> <strong>Hungarian</strong> <strong>breakfast</strong> is the answer. Grab some fresh bread and meat, chop some vegetables, make toast and put creamy things on it. It is all up to you. You’ll see how <strong>Budapest</strong> is even more beautiful when you enjoy it in the morning with a full stomach.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="typical-hungarian-breakfast" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/7008/typical-hungarian-breakfast.jpg" alt="typical-hungarian-breakfast" width="550" height="413" /></p>
<p>Májkrém (which literally mean cream liver) goes very well with both, fresh bread and toast. Spicy cream is one of the most common ingredients of the <strong>Hungarian</strong> sandwich, which is a very popular snack in Budapest.</p>
<p>It is important to note that májkrém is not the same as the famous and expensive <strong>Hungarian</strong> libamáj (goose liver), which is also an exquisite culinary adventure.</p>
<p>Salami is one of the most famous dishes in <strong>Hungary.</strong> It is normally produced with spices, smoked and cured. It has a very unique flavor.</p>
<p>Cold meat is also very popular when you want to eat something quick and simple. It can be boiled, fresh, dried or smoked. You can eat it in sandwiches or as a side dish.</p>
<p>You can also have Túró for <strong>breakfast</strong> (Hungarian quark or cottage cheese), which is a very important ingredient for sandwiches and salads, but it can also be used for making cheesecake or pancakes. There is a kind of special Túró with chopped onion, peppers, tomatoes and paprika called kőrözött.</p>
<p>If you find some eggplants in your kitchen, you can easily make an eggplant cream. Just roast the eggplant, and boil the soft parts.</p>
<p>There is also Greavel cream in <strong>Hungary.</strong> Greavel is basically animal fat that they eat very often with <strong>breakfast,</strong> but sometimes, when they get tired of chewing, they make salty cream gravel. After eating that it is advisable to do some jogging.</p>
<p>Hurka is a special type of boiled sausage. There are two types: one made of liver, rice (Majas hurka) and another made with cooked blood, dry rice, salt, pepper and spices (Veres hurka).</p>
<p>However, the most popular <strong>breakfast</strong> in <strong>Budapest</strong> is the villásreggeli (literally <strong>breakfast</strong> with fork), it contains scrambled eggs and omelets, which are very popular as the first meal of the day. Villásreggeli is mainly served with some spices, as <strong>Hungarian</strong> paprika, as well as vegetables including onions.</p>
<p>Another <strong>food</strong> that many Hungarians love eating in their sandwiches is the cow tongue. The good thing is that it doesn’t look like a tongue at all after cutting, seasoning and <strong>cooking</strong> it.</p>
<p>Disznósajt (brawn) is made with gelatin, slices of meat of different origins, spices and other things we do not want to know.</p>
<p>Or you can make deviled eggs in just 10 minutes, sprinkle with paprika and serve with toasted bread, sliced onion, mustard and, in case you have, a slice of fried chicken breast from the previous day.</p>
<p>The crepes are also a good option if you want to start the day with something sweet. But have in mind that Hungarians make very thin pancakes stuffed with a thick <strong>Hungarian</strong> jam and dark chocolate sauce and are served rolled.</p>

<p>If I ask you to think of a famous <strong>nude</strong> <strong>painting,</strong> you will more than likely imagine a <strong>painting</strong> of a woman who is <strong>nude</strong> or nearly <strong>nude.</strong> Maybe Sandro Botticelli’s masterful “The Birth of Venus”, a full-figured body by Rubens or even Picasso’s “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” come to mind. This makes sense because throughout <strong>the</strong> history of <strong>art</strong> <strong>the</strong> female body has been portrayed more often than <strong>the</strong> male body in <strong>the</strong> <strong>nude</strong> format. <strong>The</strong> latest <strong>exhibition</strong> at <strong>the</strong> Ludwig <strong>Museum</strong> of Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> in <strong>Budapest,</strong> however, is focusing on <strong>the</strong> exact opposite, <strong>the</strong> male nude.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="exhibition-the-naked-man-budapest" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/6991/exhibition-the-naked-man-budapest.jpg" alt="exhibition-the-naked-man-budapest" width="550" height="452" /></p>
<p>Before Playboy or <strong>nude</strong> photographs, there existed many titillating images of women barely dressed or completely undressed and these hung in <strong>the</strong> homes of <strong>the</strong> wealthiest patrons in plain view. These were acceptable for display in their salons and studies because of their mythological or religious subject matter. Mythological figures include Danae who is showered with gold coins or Venus who is often depicted brushing her hair or looking in <strong>the</strong> mirror. Religious figures include Bathsheba bathing or Susanna being spied upon by <strong>the</strong> elders. These women are depicted in a voyeuristic way, as they seem unaware of being watched. <strong>The</strong> female <strong>nude</strong> later became a subject matter in its own right that artists tried faithfully to capture on canvas and in stone or bronze. These works usually have what is termed a “male gaze”.</p>
<p>In classical antiquity <strong>the</strong> male body was a subject matter that was thoroughly explored. Later, however, <strong>the</strong> male body was mostly out of sight, usually hidden in full clothing or even armor, with <strong>the</strong> exception of a few mythological images or Christian martyrs.</p>
<p>This fascinating <strong>exhibition</strong> is going to explore <strong>the</strong> reasons for this change, including how <strong>the</strong> role of men adapted and other sociological reasons, by examining <strong>the</strong> works of <strong>art</strong> that depict <strong>the</strong> male body. It will look at how male artists depict their own bodies and what this reflects. And it will examine how women artists depict <strong>the</strong> male <strong>nude</strong> (the “female gaze”), something which has only been possible in more recent times since women artists were often barred from access to <strong>nude</strong> models in <strong>the</strong> past.</p>
<p>Beginning about 1900 in turn-of-the-century Vienna, <strong>the</strong> <strong>exhibition</strong> then continues through <strong>the</strong> 20<sup>th</sup> and 21<sup>st</sup> centuries examining <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong> artists own identities and their relationship to <strong>the</strong> model changed. Eventually, <strong>the</strong> male <strong>nude</strong> also gains footing as an <strong>erotic</strong> image and one that can be viewed with a “gaze of desire”.</p>
<p>Works by artists such as Egon Schiele, Lovis Corinth, Erich Heckel, Robert Mapplethorpe, Oskar Kokoschka, Louise Bourgeois, Eduard Munch, David Hockney, Andy Warhol, and Gilbert &amp; George will be included in <strong>the</strong> exhibition.</p>
<p>“The <strong>Naked</strong> Man” <strong>exhibition</strong> is possible in cooperation with <strong>the</strong> LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz, who hosted an <strong>exhibition</strong> prior to this one. <strong>The</strong> Ludwig <strong>Museum</strong> of Budapest’s <strong>exhibition</strong> will incorporate more works by Central and Eastern European artists. It can be seen until June 30.</p>
<p>The Ludwig <strong>Museum</strong> is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am until 6 pm. It is located at Komor Marcell u. 1 and can be reached by metro and bus (see <strong>the</strong> website for more details).</p>

<p>Every time we go abroad we fall into undesirable situations, the less we know a country and the more different it is from ours, the more mistakes we make. Catching the wrong line of the metro, going to bad restaurants, buying overpriced souvenirs and getting robbed while resting on the beach are some examples of what can go wrong in our holidays.</p>
<p>That is why you have to be alert all time and try to skip the dangerous situations you might run into. Let’s see what are the <strong>three</strong> most important situations that we should <strong>avoid</strong> while spending our vacations in <strong>Budapest,</strong> because we´re travelers, not tourists!</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="three-things-avoid-budapest" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/6885/three-things-avoid-budapest.jpg" alt="three-things-avoid-budapest" width="550" height="298" /></p>
<h3>1. Lets start with the minor:</h3>
<h3>Avoiding touristy restaurants</h3>
<p>In the historical center Vaci utca, which is a pedestrian area full of shops, bars and restaurants, you’ll see that everything is very convenient for <strong>tourists:</strong> English menus, people trying to convince you eat in their restaurants, expensive souvenirs, etc. There is no need to analyze so much to realize that locals never go to these restaurants. The Good, and most importantly, authentic restaurants are the ones where you’ll pay the half of the price you could be charged at Vaci utca, where the menus are in Hungarian and there is nobody pushing you to come in.</p>
<h3>2. Okay, we have already overcome the touristy restaurants. Now we need to sharpen our senses a bit more:</h3>
<h3>Avoid unofficial taxis</h3>
<p>The golden rule to <strong>avoid</strong> being charged more than the official rates is not to take any taxi on the street, and instead of that calling an official taxi company. The official companies are easy to differentiate, because the license plate is yellow (any other car will have a white plate). If you get in a taxi and you see that it is not equipped with a machine to issue an invoice, a meter and the taxi driver identification number, you better get off as soon as possible, otherwise you’ll end up paying a lot of money.</p>
<p>Here are a few official taxi companies’ phones numbers:</p>
<p>6&#215;6 Taxi: 2-666-666</p>
<p>Barát Taxi: (20) (30) (70) 5-200-200</p>
<p>Buda Taxi: 2-333-333</p>
<p>Budapest Taxi: 4-333-333</p>
<p>City Taxi: 2-111-111</p>
<p>It is a good idea to call the same company every time you need to use this service, because in the end you’ll be a known client. Normally, for long runs (unless you go out of town) you won’t be charged more than 3000-3500 HUF (11-13 Euros), and short runs between 2000-2500 HUF (7-10 Euros)</p>
<h3>3. Finally, our third tip to <strong>avoid</strong> getting fooled:</h3>
<h3>Stay away from beautiful women</h3>
<p>We haven’t gone mad, but you have to be careful when you are approached by an attractive woman with no apparent reason, this practice is quite popular in <strong>Budapest</strong> and it always ends badly: she may rob you or makes you getting into trouble.</p>
<p>Any of these situations can totally spoil your trip, or make pay a lot more than you expected. So we hope this article was helpful.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Life in Budapest is actually not that expensive, so we wouldn’t like that you would end up paying more you are supposed to. Remember that you can <a title="&lt;a href='http://www.only-apartments.com/apartments-budapest.html' alt='find cheap apartments in Budapest' title='find cheap apartments in Budapest' target='_blank'&gt;find cheap apartments in Budapest&lt;/a&gt; " href="http://www.only-apartments.com/apartments-budapest.html" target="_blank">find cheap apartments in Budapest</a> on our website. / / / Find cheap apartments in Budapest</p>

<p>Hungary, <strong>Budapest,</strong> Gőzölgő <strong>Festival,</strong> <strong>food,</strong> <strong>music,</strong> <strong>concerts,</strong> <strong>Erzsébet Square,</strong> <strong>cocktails,</strong> <strong>wines,</strong> <strong>Akvarium Klub,</strong> <strong>Hungarian cuisine,</strong> <strong>Pálinka,</strong> <strong>Kürtőskalács,</strong> mulled wine,</p>
<p>It is a constant in the Hungarian capital: its taste for festivals and cultural events. If spring brings together all lovers of <strong>music</strong> and the arts, in <strong>winter</strong> the city prepares for the  Gőzölgő <strong>Festival,</strong> focusing on local cuisine and of course music.</p>
<p>While warming spirit with the sounds of bandscoming from all corners of the country or in neighboring Germany, you can taste the Hungarian delicacies and above all and especially, their spirits and <strong>wines.</strong> Best of all: access to the <strong>concerts</strong> are free.</p>
<h3><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="budapest-winter-festival" src="http://blogimgs.only-apartments.com/images/only-apartments/6864/budapest-winter-festival.jpg" alt="budapest-winter-festival" width="450" height="463" /></p>
<p>Where?</h3>
<p>The Gőzölgő <strong>Festival</strong> is celebrated in the  <strong>Erzsébet Square</strong> (Erzsébet tér in case you have to find the place in the guide), named on behalf of Empress Elisabeth &#8220;Sissi&#8221;, Erzebet in Hungarian, and presided over by a beautiful fountain symbolizing the four rivers of <strong>Hungary.</strong> The square is in the 5th street, on the Pest side.</p>
<p>The Gőzölgő <strong>Festival</strong> is held during the last weekend of February. In 2013 will be from the 23 to the 26. The stalls are open from noon to 10 pm. In addition there are special exhibitions of experts cocktail makers, <strong>wines</strong> and hot drinks, typically between 4 and 6 pm. These tastings prepare the body for <strong>concerts</strong> at nightfall.</p>
<h3> <br />Who organizes it?</h3>
<p>The Gőzölgő <strong>Budapest</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> is organized by <strong>Akvarium Klub,</strong> located in the Plaza Erzesébet, so do not miss it. The Akvarium is not a simple nightclub as it is a true cultural space with live <strong>concerts,</strong> dance classes and cultural programs that change weekly.</p>
<p>Located in a charming building, it t is one of those essential places of Budapest´s nightlife.</p>
<h3>
<p> <br />Hungarian Gastronomy</h3>
<p>Of course, you have to enjoy live <strong>concerts</strong> and live ¡the evening, but the traveler can not miss good <strong>food</strong> and local wine´s tasting <strong>.</strong> You can try it and buy it to take it home. Write down the following names to not miss the best of this exquisite cuisine:</p>
<p>    Pálinka. It is a spirituous liquor (with medicinal properties) made with native fruits and present in the Hungarian wineries from the late fifteenth century. Apricot can be (Barack), plum (Szilva), cherry (Cseresznye), pear (Korte) and specialties.<br />    Kürtőskalács. It is a spiral-shaped cake originally from Transylvania. It takes a special oven to bake, so it´s a professional confectionery and is very difficult to do in a home. It is made with sugar, oil, flour and dried fruit.<br />    Mulled wine. A classic of the area mixed with tea, coffee, fruit juices. It is also common to find flavored with cinnamon or ginger. If you like strong drinks, then you have to mix it with Pálinka.</p>
<p>And finally,  remember that more than 100 varieties of coffee, tea, tea, sweets, <strong>wines,</strong> spirits and local delicacies come together in this winter festival.</p>

<p>There is nothing better than wander through the streets of <strong>Budapest</strong> with your loved one. For centuries the <strong>Danube</strong> River has been a source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and theater producers. Buda and Pest are separated by the blue <strong>Danube,</strong> which is actually the longest river in Europe that spreads across up to 10 countries. Let’s follow this fantastic water source at the known as the Pearl of the <strong>Danube.</strong> <strong>Budapest</strong> awaits.</p>

<h2>Chain Bridge</h2>
<p>Let’s start our tour at the magical Chain Bridge. On one side you’ll find the Sisi Bridge and on the other side, the Franz Joseph Bridge. From there you will have an overview of the two sides of <strong>Budapest,</strong> which is the perfect place to start exploring the city.</p>
<h2>Breakfast at Cafe New York</h2>
<p>If you need to charge your batteries before this tour, you want to have breakfast at Café New York. Although it isn’t very cheap, it´s worth going there just to see its architecture. This building will make you feel like being part of a movie from the 30s in New York. It seems like an ancient palace. The waiters are elegantly dressed to serve the most selected clientele of the cafe. There you can also find some tourists, which you’ll recognize by how they are dressed. I must say that although this is a luxury place, there is no dress code required.</p>
<h2>Erzsébet Park</h2>
<p>To continue our tour we’ll head to Pest to enjoy a relaxing walk in the Erzsébet Park. There you’ll find many padlocks hanged by young lovers and honeymooners inspired by Federico Moccia´s novel “<em>Want you”</em>. It its possible to buy these padlocks in many places throughout the city, you only have to write your names on one of them, close it and keep the key forever.</p>
<h2>The Szechenyi thermal baths</h2>
<p>It is impossible to come to <strong>Budapest</strong> and not going to Szechenyi thermal baths. This is a very romantic and very pleasant plan to do with your loved one. There are hot and cold pools, steam rooms, saunas &#8230; and there you can even play chess on floating tables in the water. Chess players create great excitement among the locals, since Chess is considered as a very important sport in <strong>Budapest.</strong> Szechenyi thermal baths offer a very relaxed getaway, while renewing your energy.</p>
<h2>A <strong>romantic</strong> dinner at Flamingo restaurant</h2>
<p>One of the best things of a <strong>romantic</strong> day is to go for dinner. Well, in the Erzsébetváros area, Dob street 55, you will find a very nice restaurant called Flamingo. The best thing of this restaurant is its terrace, which is cozy and full of flowers. There you’ll enjoy a great evening with live music (usually a pianist) and the best Hungarian cuisine as well as international dish. Don’t forget to try the Hungarian wine, which will make the whole dinner even more special.</p>
<h2>Have a drink on an evening cruise on the Danube</h2>
<p>But our evening doesn’t have to end with dinner. Once you have eaten you can go ahead and enjoy a nice cruise on the <strong>Danube</strong> with friends. Some cruises even include dinner. Navigating the river and seeing the whole city lit is a second to none experience. From there you can make some pictures to remember with the best views of the city.</p>

<p>Gastronomy in Budapest and in <strong>Hungary</strong> in general is abundant in spices, the most famous of which is paprika, which is used in many of this country´s typical dishes. In Hungarian cuisine, the most famous dish is goulash, whose ancient origin comes from the rural classes. The dish is made out different meats, vegetables, legumes and, of course, <strong>paprika,</strong> the national spice. It´s a comforting meal if it´s cold outside, since temperatures in <strong>Budapest</strong> can be quite low during the winter months, which makes it no surprise that abundant meals predominate most of the Hungarian recipe books.</p>
