Budapest Main Attractions

Printed in Hungary


The Heroes' Square, The Paraliment House & The Buda Castle. The Buda Castle is a must visit in my opinion. For me, I made a call home from the peak of the castle. Told my family that I really wished that they were there to enjoy the sights with me and of course, I do miss them!
