These are just a few of the many things to see and do in this East European city that is also home to the Fisherman's Bastion, the Time Wheel (a one year hour glass), castles, famous churches and many other historic monuments. In recent years Budapest's picturesque qualities have attracted movie makers and tourists from all over the world. Enjoy your visit!
