Most beautiful location in Budapest - Most beautiful location in Budapest and an absolute must!! It's a journey back in time. Most of the buildings have been renovated and show their most beautiful glory. The buildings are breathtaking. In the evening there are a little less people on the road, it is a little quieter than during the day. The view over the Danube is a wonderful place to take photos both during the day and at night

Pleasant ride - Very nice. Several palaces are rebuilding them in reinforced concrete and then covered with stones to give effect to the original palace
