Budapest: The Best of Hungary

Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We soak in elegance at the thermal Széchenyi Baths, stomp and slap with traditional dancers at a folk concert, visit the Communist All-Stars in Statue Park, remember Hungary’s secret police at the House of Terror, sample some paprika in the Great Indoor Market Hall, and cruise under floodlit monuments on the Danube. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #budapest Visit for more information about this destination and other destinations in Europe.
