Shoes memorialised on the banks of the Danube to remember the many executed on the banks during WW2<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlmost 60 pairs of iron sculptured shoes curiously sit mounted along the bank of the Danube. This is a memorial to the 3,500 predominantly Jewish residents of Budapest who were killed at this site by the fascist Arrow Cross militia during World War II. This is a free public exhibit to memorialise these people and a somber place for reflection along with a popular site for tourists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liberty Bridge & Statue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLiberty Bridge connects Buda and Pest across the Danube.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSpanning the Danube, Liberty bridge is an old iron rivet bridge rebuilt soon after WWII. Join the locals of an evening and enjoy beer on the low walls at either end of the bridge and soak up the vibe of the city. Also, overlooking Liberty Bridge is Liberty Statue positioned high above the city providing a sweeping view of the city stretching along the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Columbo Statue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nA familiar yet peculiar face to see on the streets of Budapest!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you're a fan of the 1970's sleuth Columbo, you may be surprised, and a little excited to know a bronze statue of Peter Falk's Columbo standing on an inner-city pedestrian street. The statue is located on 'Falk Miksa St' which also seems to be the only logical connection between a Los Angeles Detective and Budapest. Perhaps if Columbo was still with us he would be able to solve his mysterious memorialisation. Still it's a positively unique monument freely accessible on the streets of Budapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cost:<\/strong> Free<\/p>\n\n\n\n8. Szimpla Kert Bar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTake a bath with a beer in Budapest<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere aren't too many bars where you can enjoy a beer in a bathtub. Entering the sprawling Szimpla Kert open air bar in the bar district of Budapest is like walking into a drug den. Graffiti covers the walls which seem to match the skin of the equally graffitied patrons. Various industrial fixtures form the tables and chairs and the very prominent greenery appears like overgrown weeds cascading down and enveloping the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With many nooks and crannies and full of what seem like independent pop up bars, you can order an ice cold beer or choose from an extensive cocktail menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Street Food Karavan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe perfect place to enjoy a meal on the cheap in Budapest.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFood carts are all the rage in Eastern Europe in summer and Budapest is no different. Street Food Karavan is the pick of the bunch with a lot of decent fast-ish food choose from. Think American style burgers, burritos, gourmet hotdogs, crepes and some asian delicacies. Of course, all can be washed down with a quality Hungarian beer enjoyed at the shared outdoor tables in this inner city food sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. For Sale Pub - Hungarian Goulash<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nEndless peanuts, Goulash and scribbled notes in the For Sale Pub.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor Sale pub is a bit of an institution. Peanut shells cover the floor, scribbled notes from past patrons litter the walls and beer and goulash flow freely. The two levels are often packed with live music pumping off of the small stage. True, it does have an air of tourist trap about it but it is a good atmosphere and the goulash is indisputably good. One bowl between two is also plenty so you can same some coin if you are travelling in a twosome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
