The Budapest Guide Instead of me trying to reinvent the wheel on the sights of Budapest here's a brief guide for the main sights. For a good detailed perspective on the city you should read the book of Török Andris who is quite the expert on the city. Forgive his ramblings on obscure intellectual theories, but make sure you read his Critical Guide. This will probably be your best bet in getting to know the city if you have never been there. It will also reveal many new insights for those that have lived there long enough.

Back in '92 there were many underground (basement) discos in Budapest that I frequently visited. Razzia, Total Kar, Fekete Lyuk, Tilos az A, Fregatt, Rockoko Unfortunately most of these places (except for the Fregatt) do not exist anymore. |
| The local restaurants serve up some of the best stuff on earth and if you don't like what you're eating, the local justice palace will solve your problems. (inside joke there...) |

Budapest Sun is a good local english language paper. Pesti Musor is a source of information on what's happening. |
| The city is also famous for its mineral baths. Some of the bath facilities were built over four hundred years ago and there are traces of ancient Roman bath houses as well. This is a picture of the Szechenyi,which has three main outside pools and a few inside, along with steam baths, saunas and massage. |

In the shadow of the proletariat. Some of the glorious remains of thirty years of communism/socialism have been placed in a park outside of the city. (In case they need them again...) Some of it is fairly artistic, but the themes are similar and the messages are clear. |
