• Marzipan Museum

20 kilometres from Budapest, in the city of Szentendre, a very interesting spot is situated.

This is a museum of marzipan devoted to all of those who have a sweet tooth. It was opened in 1994 by local cook Kara Sabo. All exhibits of the museum are made of marzipan. Here, you can see both the Parliament building and the portrait of Mozart, as well as many other works of art made of unusual material. On the first floor, confectioners can buy sweets and watch cooks work.

• The Hungarian Parliament

The next romantic and beautiful place is, of course, the building of the Hungarian Parliament – a visiting card of Budapest and the whole country. The gothic palace in neo-Gothic style rises above the banks of the Danube, spreading over 13,500 m². Visually, the House of Parliament is very similar to the Westminster Abbey in London: its columns, arches, and sky-shaped spires make for a perfect romantic destination. On certain days, you can get on a tour of the palace and enjoy its magnificent interior decoration in the style of the Middle Ages, and take hundreds of photos.

• The Fisherman’s Bastion

The Fisherman’s Bastion is the place from where one of the best views of the Parliament opens because it is located on the opposite bank of the Danube. But not only luxurious species attract tourists here. This protective fort, symbolising the seven founding tribes of Hungary, represents a complex of ancient architectural masterpieces. The walls of the fortress have encircled beautiful and majestic historical monuments, such as the Cathedral of St. Matthews, the monument to King Steven, the famous Labyrinth, the President’s Residence, and many other attractions.

• Heroes’ Square

Heroes’ Square (Hősök tere), a unique place dedicated to the millennial jubilee of Hungary, is located in the city park of Budapest called Városliget.

Above the square stands the column of the archangel Gabriel who, according to the legend, appeared in the dream of St. Steven and urged him to convert the Hungarians to Christianity. On the semicircular colonnades, there are all the heroes of Hungary, from the day it was founded to the present moment. Here, the bronze Louis the Great I strictly watches any passers-by; other monuments here are devoted to Imre Teceli, Ferenc Rákóczi II and 11 other cult historical figures. In the evening and at night, the area is especially beautiful, and you can spend a lovely romantic date here.
