Dining & Sightseeing in Vorosmarty Square, Budapest

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dante Mena and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village in Budapest, Hungary. I'm the author of this travel guide. It's one of the Hunter travel guides called Hungary. Here we are in this wonderful city. And behind me and around me is what is called British Marquis Tare. It is the first of a series of stops on what is called the Metro system of Budapest. And if you take the yellow line in Budapest, and you follow each of those exits, you can get a good cross section of the city. And get a good taste of not only the cuisine, but many wonderful sights in the city as well. British Marquis Tare being the first exit opens out and in the distance on the Gerbeaud restaurant. A famous restaurant here in Hungary, built in eighteen fifty-eight. It again is an example of the neo-classical that was so typical of that era. If you were to be in this square in the middle of summer, you could walk down in that direction to Beiruit. And you would find numerous shops that were open, hundreds of artists and vendors selling Hungarian ware. And also, upscale shops equaling the best in Europe all along Beiruit. To my left, as I'm facing the Gerbeaud restaurant, there's a small street that opens up to the Promenade that follows the Danube River. And that also is loaded with many shops; wonderful place to take a rest, have a coffee or espresso and enjoy the river's views and watch the boats as they flow along in the Danube River."
