Visiting Buda & Pest in Budapest, Hungary

Video Transcript

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is Sarah Satmari and I'm a tour guide in Budapest. I work for Yellow Zebra/ Absolute Tours and we're here on behalf of Expert Village. Here we are in the heart of Budapest where actually the heart of the capital beats. Because here we find around this area, the Parliament building and the beautiful Four Seasons hotel and the lovely Royal Palace on the other side of the Danube with the old medieval quarter and lovely restaurants as well here on this side and on the other side as well. So, you see that the Danube is behind me, which divides our capital into two parts. This is the only name, why we name the two sides the Buddha side, which is the hilly side, and the Pash side, which is the complete flat area, in two different ways. The Pash side is mostly famous for its vivid nightlife and the Buddha side is the much-favored residential area. Actually if you would like to get in a nice restaurant, you can try it out first on the Pash side. The search for a nice little clubs like Simpla Garden, or simple garden, or nice restaurants like the Duchla, or the double, in English. If you go on the other side, you see some nice fancy restaurants, medieval restaurants where you can eat with your own two hands and feel like Kings or Queens. Of course, if you just wander around the Danube promenade, the illuminated Danube promenade you can feel like in a real dream."
