Eat, drink and enjoy Budapest with us, throughout it's crowded transportation, the mixture of monuments and endless range of activities.

This transportation was modernised completely by the appearance of the first metro railways, which went underground. The first apperance of these transport vehicles on the Euroepan continent was in Budapest in 1896, as a mayor investment for the Millenium Party. In this tour, we are offering the visitors a sight of the first metro of Budapest and it's stations, carefully selected and located according to the era's needs.

The first stop, the Széchenyi Bath is one of the biggest bath complexes of Europe, the very first medical bath of Pest side of the city, built in Neobaroque style. In the beginning of 20th century Vilmos Zsigmondy was working to find thermal water here, as in 1881 already was existing an Artesian Bath, but the quality of that bath was not acceptable. For 1913 the main building complex of the bath was built and opened its doors for the public of Budapest. By 1927 a new part was built with separated pools for women and men, and in 1960, the pools became for both men and women in bathing suits. In 1999, the main reconstruction of the pools happened, when the water ventilation system was also modernized completely. In the funpool were built some whirlpool and water massage services.

Walking by route the metro takes, we find the City Park (Városliget), that occupies a field of one square kilometre, we find a romantic boating-lake that works as a skating rink during winter time. The Caste of Vajdahunyad, also found there, was built in the end of the XIXth century. The structure combines all architectural styles from Romanesque to Baroque. Today it is the home of the Agricultural Museum. From there, walking thought a bridge that crosses the City park lake, in winter used as an ice skating track, we find the Heroes Square. It was built in the end of the XIXth century. Here the visitors can see the sculptures of the more than a thousand years old Hungarian history's most significant personalities.

From there we take the metro, and start our journey beyond the Andrássy Avenue. This direction was selected specifically by the designers of the underground to avoid the noise and crowd in fron of the villas and mansions, caused by the people going and coming from work. Our first stop here is the Kodály Circus, which does not mean the amusement park, but a circle formed square crossing the Andrássy Avenue. It has a marvelous view with all the classical style building being almost identical to each other, but at least symetrical.

One station away, we can find one of the most famous and historical confectionaries of the city. It's story is quite interesting, since it is sharing the building with a local bank. Are you interested in the details, well, we will give them to you on the spot.

Would you like to see the meeting point of today's Hungarian people? Follow us for one more station, were we find the Oktogon Square. It's centrality and easy access makes it one of the most frequented places both by locals and foreigners. But lets not stand here too long, we still have many things to see.

Walking on the avenue, we can see to our right the Hungarian Broadway. It is a street filled with theatres, chamber stages, were more light and personal shows are being playes, and famous cafes. But this is not a station, that is still one block away, right in front of the National Opera House. A long-awaited moment in Hungarian opera life had arrived on September 27, 1884, when, in the presence of Franz Joseph I. the Opera House was opened with great pomp and ceremony. The event, however, erupted into a small scandal - the curious crowd broke into the entrance hall and overran the security guards in order to catch a glimpse of the splendid Palace on Sugar út. Today, this does not happen anymore, since everyone with the desire can go in, and see for themselves the building's special places, like the balcony where Queen Sissi was amused by the Hungarian actors and musicians.

One metro station away, we find the crossing of two of the most important avenues of Budapest. Today, there is an artificially made lake and park locate here, were we invite our guest to relax a little, enjoy a drink and feel like the local people, who visit this place. They sit around the water, they have picnics and fun with their friends ans family.

But let us not stop completely, two more stations are still missing from our tour. Walking from the park, we find the Deák Ferenc Square. Here finally, we will see a little more of this important metro line. Although in every station there is a small exposition of important and old things, monuments of the surrounding, this is were we can see an overall view of the underground itself. A small visit to the Museum of the Underground just makes us understand more it's history and greatness.

At last, but not least, we take the metro for one last stop, the Vörösmarty Square. This is the real center of the city. With it's old, but beautifully renovated buildings, it's Christmas Fair and summer energy, this is the perfect location to see Budapest as it once was and is still today.
