VIGADÓ TÉR is a famous concert hall and ballroom. There are floating restaurants and clubs and also an outstanding view of the Buda panorama. Passing the Elizabeth Bridge (opened 1964), this is one of the best examples of modern architecture in the city. There used to be an art nouveau construction which had been bombed during the Second World War in this area.
At MÁRCIUS 15. TÉR, you can see the Gellért Hill, which is taller than Castle Hill, and explains why it has a citadel built on top of it. Then followed by FŐVÁM TÉR where you can see the Central Market Hall. At ZSIL UTCA, there are many university buildings on the Buda side as well, mostly connected with the various science and engineering faculties.
BORÁROS TÉR is a place that has very much of the everyday Budapest. HALLER UTCA is where you can see the liqueur factory, the brand new Millennium City Centre complex. The bridge whose red support columns are now coming into view is the Lágymányosi Bridge.
Then at the KÖZVÁGÓHÍD, you can see the MILLENNIUMI KULTURÁLIS KÖZPONT (MILLENNIUM CULTURAL CENTRE). The Közvágóhíd, is the controversial new National Theatre and the popular Palace of Arts buildings. The latter contains a concert hall and theatre, as well as the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art (known popularly as “Lumú”).
Some stops which you may want to explore further: Március 15. tér (handy for the Central Coffee House), or Vigadó tér (for Gerbeaud), alternatively Eötvös tér (for the Gresham).
