For a meal, go to Gundel. Gellert Bath -- go in, get lost in the labyrinth of thermal pools, swimming pools, baroque statues of very naked women. Don't breathe often if you have any feelings for your lungs. Basically walking the downtown in Budapest is fun, for the architecture is reminiscent of Paris. (But then why go the extra mile from NY to BP? one might ask. Just get off in Paris.) (No pun intended.) But what BP has which Paris don't is the hills, the imposing vista of the Castle Hill. The most beautiful sight in this world is to go to the Gellert Mountain, to the Citadella, and NOT look toward Pest, over the heads of 2000 Chinese tourists, but to go to the north side, before the entrance, and look at the Buda Hills, incl. the Castle. (Again.) All this can be easily done in two or three days. Compare the trip to Disneyworld by the Feugenbaums, who got separated from Granny by accident and a park worker called Stanley had to ask each alzheimerish-looking lady, "Mrs. Lebenstein? I presume.", and the family was reunited five days before the tenth anniversary of the park's official exansion (Anschluss) to the south. The pastry you want is sold in Gerboud in Vorosmarty Square.
