I’ve really enjoyed my every-other-day, five kilometer jog around downtown Budapest. There is very little that I miss on my morning jog. The route above is the one I did this morning, probably the last one that I will do before we leave. Here are the highlights of the jog:
- A. Home, at University Square.
- B. The Elizabeth Bridge (I go under it)
- C. The Castle. I don’t get close to it, but can see it from three different angles as I jog.
- D. The Duna Korzo, or the Danube Embankment. Full of hotels, statues, cafes and such.
- E. The Chain Bridge.
- F. The Gresham Palace, now the Four Seasons Hotel.
- G. Parliament.
- H. Imre Nagy Memorial
- I. US Embassy, fronted by the Soviet War Memorial.
- J. Saint Stephen Basilica
- K. Vaci Utca. Budapest’s Boardwalk, with cafes, shops, and lots of tourists.
