Kőleves, situated on the ruin pub-heavy Kazinczy Street, looks and tastes like a dime-a-dozen restaurant, but right behind mediocrity there's a true downtown treasure, a chilled open-air nook called Kőleves Garden. During the warmer months, university students and romancing couples frequent this silent shelter, where you can sit down on one of the colorful chairs or the swings swaying at the counter, though the tiny pebbles covering the ground might sneak into your slippers.

Arts & Culture
Metropolitan Ervin Szabo Library
1 Szabó Ervin térOlasz Kultúrintézet
8 Bródy Sándor u.The Museum of Applied Arts was founded in 1872, and the building was finished in 1896, in time for Millennial celebrations. Even Franz Joseph I visited the building, but he expressed his dislike of the architectural style. The masterpiece designed by Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos houses a museum and a school. The ornamentation displays the influence of Hungarian folk art as well as Asian and Persian elements. The largest and most central hall of the museum reveals an intimate connection to Indian art. The façade and the roof are decorated with Zsolnay tiles. The good news is, the reconstruction designs for the somewhat dilapidated museum are ready, and related works might soon begin. As part of this, the steeple that was removed for safety reasons will be replaced.

The Hungarian National Museum (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum) standing in Kiskörút is the largest museum of Hungary. It is a building of unique beauty, which introduces Hungarian culture and history in approx. 8000 square meters. Throughout the 200+ years since its foundation, the museum has collected a huge amount of artfacts, archaeological, historical, and ethnical relics, which bring closer the history of the people of the Carpathian Basin. The museum has also hosted temporary exhibitions, like the Robert Capa or the press photo exhibition. The museum paints a realistic picture of Hungarian history, with all its grief and joy, thus it is an important and educational point of interest. The Hungarian National Museum is a must-see for both locals and foreigners.

s one of the longest standing spas in Budapest. In the XII. century, the Knights of St. John used to care for the sick here; later, knights from Rhodes and Malta established a bath on the same grounds, which was transformed into a Turkish batch during the Ottoman occupation. After a full renovation, the modern Lukács opened its gates in 1884, but still preserves its century-old interior. In 1999, the whole bath was revamped once again, including the indoor and outdoor pools, and so today it provides all services that a XXI. century spa is expected to offer

The Gellért is the best known (and most expensive) historical bath of Budapest. The magnificent Art Noveau buillding between the Gellért Hill and the Liberty Bridge opened its gates in 1918. The bath is part of the Gellért Hotel, which was the icon of Budapest hotels for nearly 100 years; although it has lost some of its glory since, it is still a symbol of welfare and comfort.
