I sat at a table in the Buda’s famous coffee house, Ruszwurm Curaszda, with an older Hungarian couple who have been having cakes here since childhood. The Linzer dessert was created here.
Buda’s Matthias Church with colorful Zsolnary-tiled roof.
Basilica of St Stephen is the largest cathedral in Hungary. Construction began in 1868; however, the construction was delayed when a storm caused the dome to collapse. The building had to be demolished and rebuilt from ground up.
Explored the Erzsébetváros and Jewish Quarter of Vienna where I am staying. The day seems robbed with sunset at 4:45pm. The early darkness had its reward as I strolled Margaret Island on the Danube River under a full moon and was surprised by the twilight fountain light show choreographed to music.
