Budapest, Hungary (part 2)...

Being I am a fast walker, I was able to do the one day guide into half a day...which opens up a half a day for me to explore Buda more.

The Holocaust Memorial Center is somewhat off the touristy side in Pest and situated in a more residential area.  The exhibit focus on the struggle of the Hungarian Jews during the Nazi invasion.  It was a moving experience...


Once crossing the Danube river, you are greeted with many tourist attractions.  I believe this is a military museum...


After climbing the endless stairs (there so many options to get up), you've reached the Castle district.  Here, you will find one of the prominent buildings in Budapest, the Magyar Nemzeti Galeria (the Hungarian National Gallery).  Fountain of the Fishing Children below...


I fell in love with this sculpture the first time I saw it - Adam and Eve by Ligeti Miklos.


A few more blocks (and it's an uphill), you will find the Szentharomsag-szobor (Holy Trinity Statue).


Across the street, is another magnificent building, the Matyas Templom (Matthias Church).


From here, there is a great view of the Buda side (left) and the Pest side (right) and the great Danube River.
