October 4, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Amazing Metal Art Gallery

Welcome in the Steel Figure Gallery, the only tourist attraction in the world, where you can find sculptures inspired by characters from cartoons, science fiction movies, animals and sculptures inspired by the most expensive hits of the automotive world. Autorobots, Steel Man or the Hunter were made of elements derived from recycling of steel scrap.

Postal Stamp Museum Budapest

The museum was opened to the public in 1930, on the ninth floor of the building of General Postal Direction on Krisztina Road. The collection soon outgrew its place, and was moved into the first 20th century architectural heritage monument in Hungary, the newly completed post office in the 7th district, designed by Gyula Rimanóczy, in 1939. The exhibition hall is one enormous space, resembling rather a library, for the stamps are placed in metal-framed glass plates fitting in cases mounted in the wall, in order to protect them from heat, light and moisture. 3200 such frames in the exhibition hall contains the nearly 500 thousand artistic stamps that make up the permanent exhibition with the title The History of the World on Stamps. In fact, the museum has a much bigger collection of more than 13 million Hungarian and foreign stamps, stamp designs etc. The museum has a special library, supporting researchers’ work as well with its handbooks and journals.

Museum of Sweets & Selfies No.2: Bubbles

DON’T MISS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING PARTS OF THE MUSEUM, HUNGARY’S VERY FIRST BUBBLE POOL BAR! Get a taste of the Florida beach sunset with a little roadster to cruise around in. Turn to your right 45 degress, take a few steps and you can wade right through our bubble foam. If you need some refreshment, just sit under the tropical leaves of the beach bar and enjoy your favourite cocktail.

Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives

The Hungarian Jewish Museum is located in the heart of Budapest, in the historical Jewish quarter. The idea of an independent Jewish Museum arose in 1909, when our Museum was founded. The first home of the collection made up of approximately 1,500 artefacts was an apartment downtown Budapest. The Jewish Museum found its final home in 1932 at the building designed by Laszlo Vago and Ferenc Farago, which was constructed next to the Dohany street synagogue in a matching architectural style. In 1942 two employees of the Hungarian National Museum hid the valuable artefacts of the Jewish Museum in the cellar. Thanks to their bravery the entire rich collection exists today.

Today’s location of Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives is in the compound of the Jewish Synagogue on Dohany utca, in the same building where Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl (The “Oracle” of the State of Israel) was born. The museum consists of four spaces, each of which presents a different aspect of Jewish life in Hungary. The first shows Judaica objects used on Saturdays, the second carries Jewish holidays, the third shows the daily life of the Jews while the last one shows the Holocaust of the Jews of Hungary. The Judaica objects on display were collected from all over the former Austro-Hungary. You are welcome to take an organized tour with tutorials in different languages for those who want explanations and information about the exhibits. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Hungarian Electrotechnical Museum

Reviewed By Scots-not-Scotch - Southbury, United States

It's an odd little museum that appeals to specialized interests. And it's fun and it's good. There are many static displays (pun intended) of century old electrical gear. Plus there are operable set ups of generators, meters, and circuits. The museum conducts demonstrations for school visitors. Very nice people. I think designers, architects, engineers, and kids will enjoy it.
