Second day in Budapest!

Piero: second day! For those who want a nice jog early in the morning, Margaret Island is ideal! After a good breakfast we leave for Buda; we cross the Danube on the splendid Chain Bridge. We can now visit the Royal Palace and the Castle.

Angela: we have two options: walking (it will take you 15 mins) or taking advantage of the beautiful Budavári Sikló, the Budapest funicular, with its cabins perfectly restored.

Piero: let's start the visit of the Royal Palace and the Castle. It is worth waiting for the changing of the guard. A quick lunch and off to one of the most beautiful and evocative places!

Angela: That's right! Just behind the Matthias Church there is the Fishermen's Bastion, beautiful in its architecture. You can see the the Danube from above and an enchanting panorama of Pest. The Castle and the Parliament are one in front of the other, separated by the Danube, as if they ideally wanted to separate real power from the people’s power.

Piero: the tour is quite demanding and takes the whole day. Now we return to the base to have dinner.
