Day 4
Today is another day for a day trip! Firstly, we went to the Central Market Hall. To be honest, it was a total letdown if you are expecting a Borough Market of London. It is seriously just a central market, with lots of fresh produce and some Hungarian food. Other than that, nothing much.
Afterwards, we headed to Visegrad. Visegrad is a less well-known city compared to Szentendre, but I was motivated to go there to visit a castle that is said to have imprisoned Dracula. To go there, you take a Vac-Szob train from Nyugati Train Station to Nagymaros-Visegrad. Costs 560 forint 1 way with student discount. Then from Nagymaros you take a car ferry to cross the Danube River (350 forint 1 way).
It was about an hour climb and some parts were really steep. But the view on top of the castle was superb. Magnificent, really.
Day 5
Last day in Budapest! =( We decided to hike up the Liberty Statue that is on the Buda side. Takes about 30 minutes at most from the bottom of the hill. Budapest is separated into two sides by the river, one side is Buda and the other is Pest.
Afterwards we headed to the Zoo! It costs 1800 forint (10 SGD) and I think that it is a much better zoo than our Singapore one. Definitely worth the $10 SGD.
