Walking in Budapest
Budapest is two cities in one: hilly Buda with its castle and Fisherman's Bastion, and flat Pest with parliament, the basilica and the Jewish Quarter.
Terrain. Pest is flat. Buda's Castle Hill and Gellért Hill are steep, with stone paving and cobbles.
Surfaces. Stone pavements and cobbles are common, particularly on Castle Hill, so skip the heels and wear shoes with grip.
