Things to see and do Hungary

In response to the sudden development of Budapest and the ensuing housing crisis at the beginning of the ^20thcentury, the prime minister of the time, Sándor Wekerle, decided to build this beautiful, off-center Transylvanian-style garden city on the outskirts of Pest (now Kispest). The architect Károly Kós, a native of Transylvania, was commissioned to design it, and decided to emphasize the sense of community and closeness to the environment.

The magician Houdini that all of Hollywood has praised is one of those Hungarians of unknown origin. Here justice is done to the life of this man who emigrated from Budapest to the United States as a child. The tour (guided, departing every 30 minutes) begins with a riddle to solve and documents Houdini's doings. It concludes with well executed magic tricks. One drawback: the whole thing is touristy and the museum has nothing to do with the original building in the Jewish quarter, where the Weisz became "Houdini".

Unique! In 400^m2 of underground space, Balázs Pálfi set up a pinball museum in 2014 with more than 130 pinball machines, all in working order, assembled from the 1920s to today. Some of the machines are real collector's items, coming from a dozen countries: from Japan to France, passing, of course, by the United States or Spain, or from the X Men to the Simpsons... In this interactive "museum", in addition to admiring the evolution of pinball, you can especially play it!

Budapest offers a wide range of transport options for exploring the city. Among them, the bus and the little train are popular options for tourists. The Szabone Hornyak Krisztina website provides detailed information on timetables and routes for both means of transport. Whether it's to visit tourist attractions or to get around the city, buses and small trains are convenient and accessible options for tourists in Budapest.
