Don Carlos Hotel

posted by qlaborde on 9 November 2010 at 12:04

This hotel is definitely a bank breaker though probably worth it. Its very clean and the service is really attentive. There's a great kids' club and loads of sports available - watersports as well as tennis courts and golf. The Nikki beach area is lovely and relaxing too. My one criticism would be on the dining front as there wasn't a particularly decent restaurant.

Terror Haza Museum

posted by drifler on 9 November 2010 at 11:56

The Terror Haza Museum is a really great place. It is of a much higher standard than any other museum of recent history that I have visited in Eastern Europe. It is located in a former interrogation centre and documents the history of Hungary opressed by Fascist and Communist regimes. There are quite a lot of displays in English and entrance is free on Saturdays.

Funicular

posted by gsayre on 9 November 2010 at 11:50

The funicular is located at the end of Chain Bridge and runs the steep ascent up to the castle. It's a really sweet contraption and though the 19th century funicular was destroyed in World War II the remake has a really retro feel to it - except that it is electrity powered! you also save yourself an incredibly arduous climb up the hill.

Szechenyi Baths

posted by bwoodward on 9 November 2010 at 11:44

These are the largest baths in Budapest - absolutely enormous! They are located in a really grand baroque - style building and include a number of indoor and outdoor pools. They are fed by Budapest's hottest spring and frankly, I'd recommend them over the Gellert which is a bit of a tourist trap and a bit grotty. If you have a Budapest Card you get a complete refund of your money if you're in the baths for less than two hours.

Gellert Baths

posted by ghunter on 9 November 2010 at 11:39

The Gellert Baths are located in a really wonderful Secession building in an incredible Oriental inspired art nouveau style. ENtrance to the baths was a wee bit pricey but definitely worth it. There are steam baths and thermal baths of a variety of temperatures. You can also get a massage, although that would have cost quite a bit more.
