        Zona Buda este atractiva si ingrijita, in rest.... Lipsa informatii turistice (metrou greu de identificat, dificil de discutat cu cei de la bilete...)

        Orasul este superb merita vizitat dar este bine de stiut ca duminica sunt inchise toate magazinele asa ca daca vreti sa faceti si ceva cumparaturi trebuie sa va uitati cu atentie la programul magazinelor ca latfel luati teapa. Sunt inchise inclusiv magazinele alimentare si piata .

        un oras minunat, merita vizitat, in special Citadella, o imagine de ansamblu asupra orasului
