Gellert Hill, Budapest how to arrive

Gellert hill in Budapest how to arrive
The Gellért Hill has an amazing views of Budapest as The Fisherman Bastion or the Buda castle.
So, if you have only 2 or 3 days in Budapest I recommend you to go first to the other places.

WHAT TO SEE

-The fantastic views of Budapest
- A huge park
- The church in the rock
- Near it is the Gellért Hotel and its beautiful baths

HOW TO ARRIVE

There are two ways to arrive there, one is avoiding the long stairs and going directly to the top of the Gill. The second one is climbing the stairs while you enjoy the views.

I recommend the first one and come down the stairs (and the end of the walk you will find the church in the Rock).

First way

I will use as the reference point Oktogon utca.

1- Take the tram 4-6 from Oktogon to Blaha Lujza ter
2- In Blaha Lujza ter go to the bus stop located at Rakoczi utca (2 min).
3- Take any of these buses: 8, 110, 112, 239 and stop at Sánc Street stop (12min)
4-In front of your bus stop there is another bus stop, cross the street and get the bus 27.
5-Stop at Búsuló Juhász (3 stop) (2min)
And now you only have to go up the slope following the road (towards up)

Step 1

Step 2(green line means walking)

Step 3, 4, 5 and 6 (red lines and wine color lines mean waking)

If you follow the wine line you will see beautiful landscapes and you will arrive (going down the stairs) to the Church in the Rock.

A Coruña-Hercules tower

Bienvenidos!! Hoy seguiré hablando de Coruña.

Uno de mis lugares favoritos de la ciudad es la zona donde se encuentra situada la Torre de Hércules, porque no solo alberga el faro si no que también nos encontramos con la Rosa de los vientos, con la estatua de Breogán y con unas preciosas rutas que recorren la costa.

Welcome!! Today I will continue talking about Coruña.

One of my favourite places in the city is the area of the Tower of Hercules, because it has this lighthouse, the Wind Rose, with the statue of Breogán and with beautiful walking routes near the coast.

Near the Hercules Tower there is the Statue of Breogán, legend Breogán was a king of Galicia, son of King Brath, who founded the city of Brigantia and built a huge tower from which he could see the green shores of Ireland.

Baiona (Vigo)

Hola a todos!! Bienvenidos!! El fin de semana pasado mi novio y yo aprovechamos el buen tiempo y nos fuimos hasta las rías baixas(Galicia), donde se encuentran algunos de los rincones más bonitos de toda galicia. En concreto estuvimos disfrutando de unas maravillosas vistas de Baiona desde lo alto del parador. Dicho parador dispone de una zona amurallada que puede ser recorrido disfrutando de unos paisajes mágicos y contemplar las fabulosas islas cíes.
Si te apatece algo especial y alejado del bullicio de las grandes playas de esta zona puedes pegarte un baño en unas preciosas y tranquilas calas que se encuentran rodeando el parador.
