10 Best Places to Visit in Hungary.
While Hungary is famous for its goulash and paprika (which, by the way, originated in the New World), it’s known for much more than that, including world-class fine wines and its pear liqueur, an orange-colored sweet dessert treat, sometimes known as palinka.
Visitors to Hungary quickly learn it is a land of many cultures, having been ruled over by the Romans, Ottomans, Mongols, Magyars, Czechs and the Soviets. Remains of Roman fortifications can be found as can utterly spectacular buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. Hungary also is the land of the beautiful blue Danube River; no trip here would be complete without a boat ride on it. An overview of the best places to visit in Hungary:

What to do in BUDAPEST. Your Travel Guide to the City
Last week we tried Hungarian food ( and this week we explore the incredible city of Budapest!
We start the day at the amazing Central Market (Great Market Hall). Here you’ll find loads of food, souvenirs, and clothing in one of the biggest indoor markets we’ve ever seen. Because we’re still full from eating all the Hungarian food, we only get some fresh made orange juice.
After that we head over to check out the outside of the famous Hungarian Parliament building, definitely one of the more iconic buildings in the country. After this we walk along the Danube River where we find the art installation called A History of Shoes on the Danube. We then head over to the Buda side of the city using the Chain Bridge.
On the Buda side we visit the Fisherman’s Bastion, a castle-like structure with great views over the city.
Lastly we head back to the Pest side, to the Jewish Quarter where we first head to an outdoor street food market, called Karavan where we try Kobe sausages. Then we make our way to the original and most famous ruin bar in Budapest called Szimpla Kert.
Divided by the Danube, the city is made up of Buda on one side, where you can find Ottoman-era thermal baths at the foot of the spectacular Gellert Hill, the royal place and Matthias Church. This place of the city radiates peace and calm. The other side, with its museums, extraordinary Secessionist architecture, its majestic parliament building, Saint Stephen’s Basilica, and its entirely renovated Jewish Quarter and Palace district, is incredibly vibrant and lively.

BUDAPEST, EXPLORING the HOLOCAUST of HUNGARIAN JEWS, the 'Shoes in the Danube' MEMORIAL
SUBSCRIBE: - Here's a very sad (and not as well known memorial) that forms part of the Holocaust dark chapter in our history. Jews killed by members of the nationalist Arrow Cross party at the end of 1944 and the beginning of 1945. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is situated in the Carpathian Basin and is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Romania to the east, Serbia to the south, Croatia to the southwest, Slovenia to the west, Austria to the northwest, and Ukraine to the northeast. The country's capital and largest city is Budapest.
Terror House Museum - Budapest Hungary
House of Terror is a museum located at Andrássy út 60 in Budapest, Hungary. It contains exhibits related to the fascist and communist dictatorial regimes in 20th century Hungary and is also a memorial to the victims of these regimes, including those detained, interrogated, tortured or killed in the building. The museum was set up under the former center-right government of Viktor Orbán. In December 2000 the Public Foundation for the Research of Central and East European History and Society purchased the building with the aim of establishing a museum in order to commemorate these two bloody periods of Hungarian history.
During the year-long construction work, the building was fully renovated inside and out. The internal design, the final look of the museum's exhibition hall, and the external facade are all the work of architect Attila F. Kovács. The reconstruction plans for the House of Terror Museum were designed by architects János Sándor and Kálmán Újszászy.
The reconstruction turned the exterior of the building into somewhat of a monument; the black exterior structure (consisting of the decorative entablature, the blade walls, and the granite sidewalk) provides a frame for the museum, making it stand out in sharp contrast to the other buildings on Andrássy Avenue.

Chain Bridge, Budapest, Hungary
The Chain Bridge in Budapest, or as it is called in Hungarian the Széchenyi Lánchíd, was the first permanent bridge in Budapest that spans the Danube between Buda and Pest when it was first opened in 1849. Previous to that there were only ferries crossing the river Danube connecting the two parts of Budapest to make it one city. On Buda side it is anchored on Adam Clark Square where the Zero kilometer stone is located (from which the distance of all Hungarian highways is measured). On the other side of the Danube in Pest, it is anchored on Széchenyi Square where the absolutely stunning Gresham Palace hotel is located. You also find there the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. On its opening in 1849 it was one of the longest bridges in Europe and was named next to the Brooklyn Bridge in New York as one of the most stunning bridges around the world. It became a symbol of advancement for Hungary and as a linking of east and West. With its span of 202 meters it is exactly as long as the tunnel it points to on Buda side and legends say that during bad weather you can push the bridge into the tunnel. On both sides there are 2 lions decorating the abutments which were carved by sculptor Marschalko János. However the lions do not have a longue and a legend say that Marschalko killed himself by jumping of the bridge after everybody made a fool of him. The Chain Bridge in Budapest is considered one of Budapest’s most popular sights due to the fact that at night it is lightened up with hundreds of lights which is a very popular photo for tourists.
Beautiful Places To See- Erta Ale, Ethiopia (The Lava Lake)
Beautiful Places To See- Erta Ale, Ethiopia (The Lava Lake)
Erta Ale is 613 metres (2,011 ft) high, with one or sometimes two active lava lakes at the summit which occasionally overflow on the south side of the volcano. It is notable for holding the longest-existing lava lake, present since the early years of the twentieth century (1906). Volcanoes with lava lakes are very rare: there are only six in the world.
Erta Ale means smoking mountain in the local Afar language and its southernmost pit is known locally as the gateway to Hell. In 2009, it was mapped by a team from the BBC using three-dimensional laser techniques, in order for the mapping team to maintain a distance and avoid the lakes' searingly hot temperatures.
Erta Ale is centered over the east African rift system, which is a triple junction setting whose movements are resulting in the formation of a pull apart basin or rift. The volcano comprises mainly Mafic material which has been brought up to the surface caused by unroofing of the mantle due to this rift formation.
Not much is known about Erta Ale, as the surrounding terrain is some of the most inhospitable on Earth and the native Afar people have a legendary reputation for viciousness towards outsiders; one travel guide recommends hiring one or maybe two armed guards or police to visit Erta Ale. However, they welcomed and helped a team from BBC. On January 16, 2012, a group of German, Austrian and Hungarian scientists/tourists was attacked at Erta Ale. Five scientists/tourists were killed, some taken as hostages and others wounded. The Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front (ARDUF) claimed responsibility for the attack and released the two kidnapped tourists in March 2012.

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial, which was conceived by film director Can Togay and was created by him and the sculptor Gyula Pauer on the bank of the Danube River in Budapest. It honors the Jews who were killed by fascist Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest during World War II. They were ordered to take off their shoes, and were shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river and were carried away. It represents their shoes left behind on the bank.
