Alas, I read too late this request. I went there some months ago. I liked very much the Mattia's Church and the Castle in the city park.
Bye!

Sorry, I'm too late as well. Used to visit there a lot from the early 90s onwards on business. One of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and you get a real sense of central Europe as the crossing point between east and west. Hope you managed to try the thermal baths, they're special.
When the weather's good it's a great place to linger over an excellent coffee at a pavement cafe and watch the world go by. Mind you, the first time I went there by train from Vienna, I enjoyed the glorious spectacle of Buda and Pest on their opposite sides as the train crossed the Danube, only to pass the biggest Tesco store I'd ever seen - not what I expected at all.
Oh, and I hope you managed to sample both the types of Tokay wine - the crisp dry white and the luscious sweet one, which to me tastes like liquid tarte tatin.
And it was an exciting GP as well, with a Brit on the podium again.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

Thanks fellas - we had a great time, the baths were incredible and fixed me up, restaurants tip-top, bars really cool and we walked and saw a lot of the city. Truly a stunning city that I'd recommend anybody to go to!
and a Button win.
WIN:WIN!

Sounds like a good trip Sean... did you go the Hotel Gellart baths? And that accident at the F1 - awesome.

You mean Heidfeld's car blowing up ... I was right next to it - first time I've seen that.
We went to this one !
